Charge Your Ambition. Start with Sika.

As announcements on e-Mobility including Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) and Hybrid (HEV) continue to flood the news today in the global push for more sustainable forms of transport, Sika Automotive takes a practical and user enhanced view on solutions for the vehicles of tomorrow. Drawing on core competencies of sealing, bonding, damping and reinforcing, our full range of products and teams are well equipped to meet the design challenges on these new vehicle platforms. Incorporating electrical storage and generation, battery management systems and other fundamental changes to design assumptions, Sika is well positioned to support our customers with their challenges. Our deep understanding and wide product range supports these initiatives with technologies including; 1C/2C and boostered polyurethanes, STP's (Silane-Terminated Polymer), urethanes, epoxies, thermoplastics, silicones, acrylics and pressure-sensitive adhesives. In many instances, Sika is a market leader in such technologies' production, and our decades of experience in the automotive market supports this. Explore our solutions for body and component assembly, NVH, acoustic analysis, reinforcement technologies for crash safety, dielectric potting, battery assembly and tooling technologies and let us tailor solutions for your unique challenges.

Sika is Ready

Sika is equipped for the future. “We have the technologies to support car manufacturers on the road to electromobility,” says Greg Moran, VP Global Automotive Marketing. Sika’s structural adhesives and structural strengthening components stiffen the newly designed car bodies and optimise crash performance. Sika's cavity-sealing acoustic systems noticeably reduce the significantly more audible tire and wind noise in the vehicle interior. Many other Sika solutions are used to assemble, seal, protect, and thermally manage batteries and provide sufficient insulation and encapsulation of electrical components. In addition to reducing the vehicle’s weight, Sika products also increase their safety and comfort.

SikaPower®-880
gap-filling 2-component epoxy adhesive, which cures at room temperature. It is designed for use in structural joints, where toughness and high strength are required. SikaPower®-880 is particularly suitable for bonding metallic substrates, like steel and aluminum, as well as composite substrates, like GFRP and CFRP laminates. The adhesive has very good application properties and shows elevated heat resistance.
