iF DESIGN AWARDSika’s PowerCure Adhesive system has received an iF DESIGN AWARD 2016. The technology is distinguished by extremely short curing times when replacing automotive glazing. The product design of the complete system combines the benefits of both one- and two-component adhesive systems in a new and convenient way. Sika’s effort to create an outstanding solution for the accelerated sealing and bonding of windshields has been recognized by the international jury of the iF DESIGN AWARD.

AUTOMOTIVE NEWS PACE AWARDSika won twice at the 2015 Automotive News PACE (Premier Automotive Suppliers’ Contribution to Excellence) Award ceremony, which was held last year in Detroit. The renowned competition for automotive suppliers honors game-changing innovation in product, manufacturing process, and information technology. Sika was a Product Innovation award winner for its Sikaflex® Ultra-High Modulus (UHM) adhesive and also received an Innovation Partnership Award for its comprehensive collaboration with BMW in the development of Sikaflex® Ultra-High Modulus (UHM) adhesive as used on the BMW i3. The innovative adhesive meets the growing demand for mixed-material bonding products and is ideally suited for lightweight and high-performance structural bonding applications.

FROST & SULLIVAN BEST PRACTICE AWARDSika Automotive received the Frost & Sullivan 2015 European Award for Product Leadership. Based on recent analysis of the body in white (BIW) automotive adhesives market, Sika Automotive’s high-quality adhesives, SikaPower® and SikaSeal®, are receiving this honor for being invaluable to automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as they strive to achieve weight reduction through the use of aluminum and other composites in the BIW stage of vehicle construction.

SIKA INNOVATIONS ON THE ROADSome Recent Highlights: Enabling Lightweight Engineering and Mixed-Material Bonding

2014 RANGE ROVER SPORTSikaPower® Crash-Durable AdhesiveThe 2014 Range Rover Sport is the first practical mass-produced all-aluminum bodied vehicle. By using aluminum instead of steel, Jaguar Land Rover was able to reduce vehicle weight by over 420 kg. Because aluminum is not a metal that can be easily welded, SikaPower® structural crash adhesive was developed to join this aluminum body. Over 160 meters of SikaPower® adhesive was used in the assembly of each vehicle.

VIDEO SEE CRASH-RESISTANT BONDING AT WORK:


2014 BMW i-3Sikaflex® Ultra High Modulus (UHM) AdhesiveSikaflex®Ultra-High Modulus Adhesive (UHM) for mixed material bonding was first used on the revolutionary and highly successful 2014 BMW i-3 and i-8 vehicles; it provides semi-structural elastic bonding of various lightweight materials and mixed structures in body construction. On the BMW i-3, it is used to bond the carbon fiber reinforced plastic Life Module to the aluminum Drive Module. Sika received a 2015 PACE award for the product and application, and received a PACE award for the project collaboration with BMW.

2017 BMW 7 SERIESSikaPower® Crash-Durable AdhesiveThe 2017 BMW 7-series employed a mixture of aluminum, steel and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) to reduce weight while at the same time increase vehicle stability. The total body-in-white weight reduction is 50 kg and innovative SikaPower® crash durable adhesive technology was used to strategically bond these mixed material components. The SikaPower® solution was designed to address the issue of different coefficients of thermal expansion in different material substrates; with its optimal balance of modulus, elongation and strength, using SikaPower® can prevent failure from residual tension during the entire vehicle service life.
