Wall Assembly Solutions
Adhesives for joining large components require an extended working time while ensuring fast curing for efficient production. Sikaflex® adhesives, combined with Sika®Booster, offer the ideal balance of extended workability and rapid curing.
Explore our product portfolio of Sandwich Panel Adhesives, and Panel Adhesive Solutions
SikaForce® adhesives, available in 1-component, 2-component, and 3-component systems, enhance production efficiency, reduce costs, and improve durability. They seamlessly integrate with existing equipment.
Box to Chassis Assembly Solutions
Adhesive bonding improves stress distribution and eliminates corrosion risks associated with drilling holes. We offer tailored solutions for different project needs.
Windshields contribute to structural integrity. Sikaflex® glass adhesives provide high strength and easy application, suitable for both manual and automated glass installation.
Interior and Exterior Sealing
Windshields often structurally strengthen the vehicle body. The use of high-strength urethane adhesives is therefore required. Ensuring a durable seal, Sikaflex® adhesives are designed for a wide range of sealing applications.
Assembly of Add-on Parts
Easily install cooling units or solar panels without drilling holes using Sikaflex®-500 series adhesives. High initial grab and fast strength development ensure a secure and durable bond.
Floor Bonding
Fully bonded floors help reducing corrosion issues on the chassis structure. Compared with using screws, a floor bonded with Sikaflex® adhesives avoids damaging the corrosion protection coating of the chassis and leads to increased durability.
Bracket Assembly
SikaFast® acrylic adhesives replace mechanical fasteners, offering high shear strength and fast cure times with minimal surface preparation.
Additional Technical Support and Process Innovations
Beyond high-performance adhesives and sealants, Sika provides industry-leading technical support to enhance production efficiency:
Better Process Control with Smart Track and Trace Features
Many Sika products come with a built-in track and trace function. A Datamatrix code on each unit enables scanning for seamless digital process control, ensuring compliance and quality.
In-Process Control with Smart Detection
Sika LUM Surface Preps incorporate luminescent dyes, allowing easy detection under UV light. This feature verifies primer application and aligns with DIN 6301 and DIN 2304 standards for process control and safety.
