SikaFlex®-709 | SikaSeal®-148 | SikaBoom®-180 | Sika R-Matte® Plus-3
Sika continues to prove why it’s one of the most trusted names in professional-grade sealants and adhesives. Its comprehensive insulation lineup gives contractors and homeowners a coordinated system to seal, bond and insulate with confidence. The four key products—SikaFlex-709, SikaSeal-148, SikaBoom-180 and Sika R-Matte Plus-3—cover virtually every stage of an energy-efficient build or renovation.
SikaFlex-709 is a high-performance polyurethane sealant designed for perimeter joints and exterior insulation systems. It remains permanently elastic, making it ideal for window and door frames that experience movement and weather exposure. It applies smoothly, bonds to a wide range of materials and delivers long-term durability in demanding environments.
SikaSeal-148 provides a flexible acrylic latex option for interior use. It creates an air- and watertight seal around gaps, penetrations and joints, helping reduce drafts and sound transmission. The formula is paintable, low-odor and easy to clean up, which makes it a go-to choice for finishing work that needs professional results without hassle.
SikaBoom-180 expands the line with a high-yield polyurethane foam that fills cavities and seals around pipes, conduits and framing members. It offers excellent adhesion to most construction materials and provides effective insulation against air, moisture and noise. The foam’s controlled expansion ensures neat application and minimal waste, an advantage for both pros and DIYers.
Completing the system is Sika R-Matte Plus-3, a rigid polyisocyanurate foam insulation board that delivers excellent thermal resistance in walls, roofs and foundations. It features durable foil facers that enhance moisture protection and reflect radiant heat, improving overall energy efficiency. Lightweight yet strong, it cuts cleanly, installs quickly and performs well in both new construction and retrofit applications.
We provided samples to a regional contractor specializing in energy-efficient remodels. The crew was already familiar with Sika’s product line and frequently used its sealants and adhesives on job sites. They reported that combining these insulation products produced consistent, airtight results from start to finish—using 709 for exterior joints, 148 for trim and interior sealing, Boom 180 for cavity fill and R-Matte Plus-3 for thermal sheathing. They noted reduced air leakage, easier installation and improved inspection scores across the board.
For independent hardware retailers, this four-part insulation family offers an opportunity to deliver a complete system under one trusted brand. Each product performs well individually, but together they create a professional-grade solution that strengthens a store’s reputation for quality and performance. Sika’s blend of innovation and reliability ensures superior results on every project.
