FEEL SAFE AND SECURE WITH SIKA
Global chemicals company Sika has added Sika Unitherm Platinum, a high-performance fireprotection coating system, and Sika Secure, a complete and secure flooring solution, to its range of quality building products.
Designed for use on structural steel, Sika Unitherm Platinum is a one-coat, factory-applied system that offers high mechanical strength and impact- resistance, helping to eliminate onsite application and create a safer way to protect steel frame structures.
Sika Unitherm Platinum was the first fire protection system in Europe to be tested according to the latest standard EN 13381-8:210 and approved with the CE marking as an international product approval and technical passport. Its high mechanical strength, shock impact and abrasion resistance provide a robust safeguard against the long-term effects of wear and tear.
Solvent-free, Sika Unitherm Platinum is easily applied with standard airless spray equipment, requires no reinforcement, cures rapidly to a very tough and damage-resistant finish, and is ready for handling the next day. As a result of its tolerance to normal transportation methods without the requirement for protection against moisture, Unitherm Platinum products can be shipped without damage during the service life of the structure.
Among its many advantages, Sika Unitherm Platinum system can be applied with or without primer and topcoat for indoor and outdoor use. It has excellent corrosion protection properties in high humidity and severe environmental conditions according to SN EN ISO 12944-5 up to C5-I and C5-M.
As well as its high-performance fire and corrosion protection properties, Sika Unitherm Platinum provides a coating surface which is quick and easy to clean with high-pressure water as it contains fire and corrosive properties which are unaffected by water.
Mark Bushell, Sika Business Unit Manager, commented: “Unitherm
Platinum is a super-strong, one-coat system which provides total protection for structural steel installations in all weathers and environments.
“As it can be applied prior to construction, we have not only created a coating which simplifies installation, it has also ensured a safer application process.”

Sika Secure provides specifiers and contractors with the complete flooring system no matter what the application. Designed to meet the functional and aesthetic needs of the most challenging and demanding environments, the Sika Secure range is comprised of over 100 products, including a new series of Sika Screed solutions, which together provide an even more versatile total flooring solution.
Used in conjunction with Sika’s Flooring range, the new Sika Screeds enable the company to become one of the select few manufacturers to offer a total floor specification solution, backed-up with a single guarantee for total build up.
With five different new self-levelling compounds and three primers, allied to the rest of the comprehensive Sika range, there is now a Sika cementitious flooring solution for every type of non-industrial project – from homes to offices, schools and healthcare premises.
Sarah James, Marketing Manager, Sika Flooring, commented: “Our new Sika Screed solutions will make every floor Sika Secure, and will ensure contractors can come to Sika for the complete flooring package. This single point of contact means that Sika can provide each element of a flooring system and they don’t have to wait for different suppliers to deliver, which would have an impact on the build programme.”
The Sika Secure range utilises the best available technologies, including liquid-applied soft resin flooring systems, SikaFloor epoxy and polyurethane systems, PU mortars of the PurCem range and the seamless Sika ComfortFloor for commercial and public building areas, all setting industry standards for quality and durability.
