STRONGER BONDS START WITH SIKA as evidenced by decades of high-performance applications and more than 25 million vehicles assembled annually at leading OEMs. Our full range portfolio of SikaPower®and SikaSeal® adhesives is used throughout the vehicle and services all body shop categories; crash-resistant, structural, hemming, and anti-flutter products. Achieving good bonds, however, is not only determined by the products alone. They begin early in the design process with partnerships, in-depth understanding of design challenges, targeted performance parameters and substantial review of the materials to be joined. The end result is better relationships and better vehicles.
