Stick with the leader - Start with Sika
To most drivers, the windshield is just a window to the world. To an automotive engineer, it’s part of an important safety system that helps keep occupants safely in the vehicle in the event of a crash and plays an important role in enhancing the structural stiffness of a vehicle. For Sika, both are key elements incorporated into the design of our products, but there is much more to consider regarding vehicle glass replacement.
Glass Replacement Kits
Glass replacement adhesives must meet stringent standards, like FMVSS 212, which defines performance requirements for passenger crash protection and windshield mounting. Car manufacturers also have their own specifications related to minimum drive-away time (MDAT), modulus, antenna suitability, and more requirements that become ‘standard’ for glass replacement applications. With our Sika® Aktivator, Sika® Primer, Sikaflex® and SikaTack® products, we support vehicles from the factory floors to the open roads by offering a full range of professional repair products.
Our latest innovation for the automotive glass replacement market is the Sika® PowerCure System. This platform for accelerated adhesives and sealants features an innovative dispenser, dynamic mixer, and a full range of accelerated adhesives and sealants.
It delivers the precision and performance of the high-end pump systems found on automotive manufacturers’ production lines but designed with good flexibility, ergonomic and handling characteristics for manual applications. Provides one of the fastest curing adhesives with 30 minutes minimum drive-away time (MDAT) at an unmatched level of comfort for the user. Our innovative Powercure solution delivers shortest cure times (2 hours) to the OEM level.
Outside of windshield bonding, Sika's PowerCure technology is the foundation for further adhesive applications which may need long open time or assured curing under a wide range of climactic conditions - such as battery box bonding in e-mobility production.
