Has anyone tried this Sika Product ?

I vote you try it and let us know.

I always use cement & ballast the ordinary postmix stuff is expensive and not as strong.

I thought about using an expanding foam type post mix instead of the normal quick setting type I normally use, but after watching a couple of videos of real-world testing of the foam post mix, I stayed with what I know works.

Looks interesting, but I’ve never had any problems with postcrete.

I'd want more of the post in the ground and in spite of all that propping up palaver (which isn't necessary with cement and ballast) the post still isn't vertical.
A solution to a problem I've never had.

I was more wondering if it would resist rot more

I suppose it might if it's closed cell foam but the base of the post isn't protected so the water would wick up through the post.
I've considered putting the buried part of posts in a heavy duty polythene 'sock' but any water getting in between the post and the sock would end up trapped inside the polythene sock.

The last time I did it.

I soaked the ends of the post in old engine oil.

Seems to have worked better.
