Sikaflex 232 US One-Component Early Strength Elastic Adhesive Overview
Sikaflex 232 US is a one-component, thixotropic polyurethane adhesive and sealant with high initial green strength, ideal for applications requiring strong, early adhesion. This moisture-curing adhesive bonds well to metals, primers, FRP, and wood, ensuring reliable performance in trailers, RVs, HVAC systems, and industrial assembly. With excellent sag resistance and gap-filling properties, Sikaflex 232 US streamlines the assembly process, delivering durable seals and bonds that can be painted and sanded for a professional finish.
