Multipurpose Adhesives That Meet Complex Requirements and Simplify Processes
With so many diverse materials being used in interior assembly; finding reliable, fast, and efficient ways to bond them is a major challenge for Original Equipment Suppliers (OES). Typical applications include headliners, door panels, instrument panel assemblies, seats, decorative parts, and assemblies of water shedders requiring fast setting hotmelts for assembly.
Sika offers a range of bonding and processing solutions for each of these applications.
SikaMelt® hotmelts, as well as SikaForce® 2-C PUR adhesives, have been specifically designed to meet industry process needs and are exceeding customer expectations worldwide. The latest generation of SikaMelt® reactive polyolefin hotmelts, for example, allows manufacturers to more efficiently bond headliner assemblies because both polar and nonpolar substrates can be bonded without the need for pre-treatment (primers).
