CUSTOMER SAFETY IS OUR MISSION
At Sika we work closely with the automotive industry and provide solutions for producing more comfort-
able, safer and quieter cars. Today’s vehicles are reinforced by the combination of bonding technology
with the use of high-strength steel and other materials. Using adhesive technology to create additional
body stiffening has become standard practice with the bonded windshield; today, automotive engineers
are using bonding solutions as an essential component for improving body stiffness and behavior in car
accidents. Adhesive systems from Sika combine ease-of-use and reliability, and ensure that a repaired
vehicle meets the same standards as a new one. This really makes the difference and guarantees the
highest safety standards for every one of your repair jobs.
 OEM COMPETENCE
Sika is at the cutting edge of technology for lightweight vehicle manufacturing

THERE ARE CURRENTLY SOME ONE BILLION REGISTERED PASSENGER VEHICLES, AND THE
NUMBER IS GROWING EVERY YEAR. CONSEQUENTLY, AND DUE TO THE CHALLENGES POSED BY
RESOURCE SCARCITY, RISING ENERGY CONSUMPTION, AND INCREASING CO2 EMISSIONS MORE
EFFICIENT V
­ EHICLES WILL CLEARLY BE NEEDED IN THE FUTURE. AND IN THIS RESPECT, THERE
IS ONE CRUCIAL FACTOR. WHILE A FEW GRAMS OF CO2 OR A LITTLE MATERIAL OR ENERGY
SAVED BY SHAVING A FEW KILOGRAMS OFF ONE VEHICLE’S WEIGHT MAY SEEM MODEST, THE
RESULTS ARE SIGNIFICANT OVER THE MILLIONS OF NEW CARS THAT ARE MANUFACTURED
EVERY YEAR. EVEN SMALL IMPROVEMENTS CAN ADD UP QUICKLY.

Traditional material fastening methods, such as rivets, screws,

and welding techniques like spot welding, are being replaced or
supplemented by adhesive bonding methods that are not just
ultra-high strength, but also remain elastic. These adhesives
must not only adhere equally well to different materials, but
also compensate for their different expansion characteristics
while also maintaining just the right amount of stiffness and
providing optimum handling.

Sika’s adhesive technologies and products point the way

­toward high-performance lightweight construction and
­represent a substantial contribution to sustainable mobility.

PERFORM WITH THE ULTIMATE
TECHNOLOGY
PowerCure is the latest technology for accelerated curing adhesives. For the first time here, Sika is
taking a total solution approach. We believe reaching the next level of technology is only possible if
the system reflects the reality an auto glass technician has to deal with every day. PowerCure has
been developed together with auto glass technicians from the very beginning; it is designed for both
mobile and shop environments and has proven its reliability under the harshest conditions.

PowerCure adhesives reach a new level of performance at an unmatched level of comfort. For the
first time here, we have developed a total solution for vehicle glass replacement, and this has
­allowed us to question each little step, from mounting a unipack to the actual extrusion of the
adhesive. The PowerCure system is probably the first ever to be developed together with auto glass
professionals from the very beginning.

 Simple as a one-component
 Minimized waste, maximized yield of adhesive
 Ergonomic design
 Fastest unit replacement on the market
 Long working time but quick curing
 CURED TO OEM LEVEL
Sika’s PowerCure adhesives allow a car to be lifted by its windshield in as little as 60 minutes.
This is what we understand practically by adhesives which are cured to OEM level.

Notice: Sika activators and primers are moisture reactive systems. In order to maintain product quality it is important to reseal the container immediately after use. With frequent use i.e.
opening and closing several times, we recommend to dispose of the product one month after first opening. With infrequent use, we recommend to dispose of the product 2 months after
opening. For further information refer to our “General Guidelines for Bonding and Sealing with Sikaflex® and SikaTack®”.
When selecting a foam applicator, the solvent resistance has to be taken into account, e.g. melamine foam Basotect from BASF is suitable.
When using Hybrid products in combination with Polyurethane, the Polyurethane has to be fully cured prior to the Hybrid application.
