Sika Boom®-132
Sika Boom®-132 is a one-component pest and insect blocking and expansive polyurethane foam used to fill gaps and cracks.
- Good for filling wide gaps with its high expansion rate
- No special tools required - includes convenient re-usable dispensing straw
- High yield formulation
- Excellent adhesion, stability and filling capacity
- High thermal and acoustical insulation values
- Adheres to most common building materials (concrete, wood, metal, glass, etc.)
- Mould-proof, waterproof and over-paintable
- Applicable at temperatures ranging between -5 °C and 30 °C (23 °F and 86 °F)
- No special tools required - includes convenient dispensing straw
- Cured foam becomes rigid when dried; can be trimmed, shaped and sanded
Usage
- Use away of living quarters.
- Blocking entry points of ants, bees, spiders, mice, etc.
- Filling and sealing gaps, joints and cavities.
- Filling wall penetrations.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
The substrate must be clean, sound and homogeneous, free from oils, grease, dust and loose or friable particles. Paint, cement laitance and other poorly adhering contaminants must be removed. Sika Boom®-132 adheres without primers and/or activators. Dampen the substrate with clean water before application, as this ensures that the foam will cure properly, and will prevent secondary foam expansion.
MIXING
Shake Sika Boom®-132 can well for about 60 seconds before use. Repeat shaking after long interruptions of use. Turn the can upside down and screw the straw adapter firmly into place without pressing the valve. Regulate the foam flow by applying more or less pressure on the valve/adapter
APPLICATION
Fill deep cavities in several layers. It is important to allow each layer to expand and cure sufficiently by spraying water between each layer (or allowing sufficient waiting time between the layers. Fill the cavity approximately 30 % to allow for expansion. All building elements must be temporarily fixed until the foam has fully cured.
Note: Sika Boom®-132 can only be used in the upside down position; failure to invert the can will prevent the foam from dispensing properly.
Re-Usable Straw: To ensure that the straw can be re-used: 1) set the can upright and 2) while it is still full of foam, fold back the straw over itself and slide the open end onto the plastic tip located above the trigger to a depth of 10 mm (1/32 in). This will keep the straw air-free. When you are ready to re-use the product, simply shake the can, unfold the straw and proceed with spraying.
CLEAN UP
Clean all tools and application equipment immediately with Sika Boom® Cleaner. Uncured material may be removed from substrates and tools with Sika® Hand Cleaner. Once cured, residual material can only be removed mechanically. Refer to Sika Boom® Cleaner product data sheet for further information
