Less Packaging Waste with Sika PowerCure
"PowerCure was built around the environmentally-friendly unipack – reducing packaging waste by up to 60%"
Fast-cure adhesives are typically packed in plastic 2C cartridges, which result in a high waste volume. Sausage packaging has become the standard packaging for Industrial users of 1C adhesives for decades; with PowerCure this environmentally friendly packaging is now also available for fast cure adhesives.

Sika PowerCure Solutions for Vehicle Manufacturing and Transportation
Sika’s adhesive solutions for the transportation industry are available as 1C, bulk booster solutions, and the PowerCure system. These products reach the same final performance, regardless of cured by air moisture or SikaBooster®.
In use, the combination of such products is beneficial. For example, Sikaflex® Booster, out of bulk, is most economical for large volume applications. Sikaflex® PowerCure, however, is ideal for line applications where less consumption is required. Pump equipment is often not financially justified.
- Flexible, to evolve with your process
- Save material costs by using Booster only where beneficial
- Robust processing will reach the same result with or without Booster
