Freedom of Design
Glazing and windscreen bonding not only make for elegant surfaces with optimum aerodynamics but also increase overall vehicle rigidity. Automakers have been introducing windscreens as structural parts in vehicle design since the 1970s. Most modern buses are also produced with bonded glazing.
More Efficient Bonding Processes
Sika offers hot-applied polyurethane adhesives for automated windscreens. With SikaBooster® and PowerCure accelerated adhesives, you not only guarantee complete polymerization of linear joints, but they also quickly achieve sufficient strength needed to be handled in a short time. For glass replacement in maintenance workshops, these technologies help to reduce the time needed to get vehicles back into service.
Weathering Performance and Durability
All-in-one Sikaflex® windshield adhesives and sealants reduce the number of products in production as well as the risk of mistakes and inventory costs.
Sustainable Adhesive Solutions
Manufacturers of commercial vehicles use low VOC adhesives and sealants and water-based surface pre-treatments to reduce chemicals in production. Improving worker safety and indoor air quality for vehicle passengers are the drivers for this trend. These water-based and low VOC solutions save costs as they require fewer workforce protection measures such as ventilation.
