Sika’s adhesive and coating solutions help increase the longevity of vehicles and parts. Sikagard® undercoatings are preserving the original corrosion protection layer from impacts. Structures bonded with SikaPower® SmartCore adhesives demonstrate superior fatigue performance than ones welded together.
For more than 20 years, cars, all over the world, have been built with SikaPower® adhesives.
"Sika’s full set of technologies provide innovative and efficient solutions for longest-lasting vehicles that operate anywhere and anytime."
Sika Technologies Making your Vehicles more Durable
Sika has a unique portfolio of technologies. These were developed by taking our customer's unique challenges in mind. Our smart adhesive and coating solutions have proven their value in countless cases, globally.
- Structural adhesives to eliminate stress peaks in body structures, enabling lighter and more durable vehicles
- Hot and cold-cure adhesives with ultimate fatigue strength that can withstand more dynamic load than welded structures
- Additional corrosion protection with heavy-duty Sikagard stone chip protection coatings
Highest Fatigue Performance with a SikaPower® SmartCore Adhesives
In the manufacturing of passenger cars, SikaPower® SmartCore adhesives are widely used. The use of adhesives enables better distribution of stress, and reaching stiffer structures. SikaPower® SmartCore adhesives combine all this with unique fatigue and crash performance. SikaPower® SmartCore adhesives are heat curing 1C or cold-curing 2C epoxy adhesives.
Improved Corrosion Protection with Sikagard® Stone Chip Coating
Sikagard® undercoatings provide additional stone chip protection to paint. Sikagard® solutions are applied in a thick layer in a single step method, with no dripping and overspray. Sikagard® undercoatings increase the durability of the original corrosion protection coating.
Floor Bonding with Sikaflex® Adhesives
Fully bonded floors in buses, trailers, or trains 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.
