A new spray-applied
insulation adhesive from Sika roofing is set to cut installation times by up to
20 per cent for the company’s network of more than 400 Sika-trained roofing
contractors.
The latest in a
suite of spray-applied products from Sika designed to make installation quicker
and easier for contractors, Sika C-250 Spray is suitable for use across all
Sika roofing brands – Sika Liquid Plastics, Sika Sarnafil and Sika-Trocal - and
is compatible with all substrates.
Ian Muddiman, Head
of Applications, Roofing at Sika explains: “Sika C-250 Spray’s ease and speed
of application will reduce project delivery times, labour costs and waste
enabling contractors to make significant financial savings on warm roof
installations, while ensuring even distribution of the adhesive and excellent
adhesion integrity.
“The new product
innovation is part of our investment in developing solutions that help our
customers to address the challenges they face on site, improve efficiency and
reduce installation costs.
Each recyclable
25.4kg metal canister of Sika C-250 Spray contains 18.4kg of adhesive;
sufficient capacity for an approximate 140m2
installation area. The targeted spray nozzle ensures accurate, efficient
distribution of adhesive. The pressurised canister can be completely emptied of
its contents, turning the canister into scrap metal. This reduces waste,
preventing up to 12 containers from being sent to landfill per 140m2 of installation area and avoiding the
need for any specialist waste disposal arrangements.
Suitable for both
refurbishment and new build projects, the high foaming spray adhesive is
designed to bond insulation boards to any substrate, with fast grab to enable
rapid project completion. For refurbishment installations, it allows for
substrate undulations.
Ian Muddiman adds:
“The tooling is designed to be ergonomic which reduces the stress on the user
and we have developed Sika C-250 Spray for use with the same tooling as our
Sika Primer 610, so it can be flushed, cleaned and interchanged, reducing the
amount of kit our contractors need on site while helping them to ensure
excellent installation quality.
“Once again, C-250
demonstrates our market-focused approach to new product development and we’re
confident it will be a game changer for the industry.”
