Sika Sikasil® WS-290 FPS Ultra low modulus, neutral cure, field pigmentable silicone sealant
Categories: Polymer; Adhesive; Thermoset; Silicone; Silicone, RTV, Adhesive/Sealant Grade

Material Notes: Sikasil WS-290 FPS is a field pigmentable, low to no bleed, low modulus, one–component plus color pack, non-sag, elastomeric, neutral cure silicone sealant. Sikasil WS-290 FPS performs exceptionally well under dynamic conditions due to its ultra-low modulus, high extension/compression, recovery properties and strong adhesion to most building materials. Sikasil WS-290 FPS accommodates long-term movement of +100-50% in properly designed joints and is particularly well suited for use in Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS). Meets the requirements of ASTM C-920, Type S, Grade NS, Class 100/50, Use NT, M, G, A, O; TT-S-00230C, Type II, Class A; TT-S-001543A, Class A; CAN/CGSB-19-.13-M87, AAMA 808.3.

Where to Use:

  • Sealing expansion and control joints in precast concrete panels and metal curtain walls.
  • As a weatherseal in glass to glass butt joint glazing
  • As a weatherseal in nonstructural glazing applications, including cap, toe and heel beads
  • Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS) and numerous other areas requiring a high-performance sealant.
Application
  • Field pigmentable sealant
  • Unaffected by most atmospheric conditions
  • Non-staining
  • Joint movement +100/-50%
  • Excellent adhesion
  • One-component, plus color pack
  • Excellent gunnability in all temperatures
  • Ultra low modulus
