Delivering Your Solution
Demand for energy efficient buildings, temperature controlled environments and fire performance products which are aesthetically pleasing and cost effective is increasing dramatically. Some key reasons for this are:
- Energy efficiency demands from society, governing bodies and end users increase
- More temperature controlled food (cold) chain distribution
- Trend towards industrialised building construction (steel space frame and insulated panel)
- Fire regulations increase, and therefore demands for fire performance panels
As a result, designers and manufacturers must continually find improved solutions which have enhanced environmental and technical performance and at the same time are increasingly efficient to produce.
For 25 years Sika has pioneered the use of adhesives for sandwich panel bonding, offering high quality solutions for a wide range of applications in building components production.
Bonding, sealing and laminating operations can be carried out using Sika products through the various stages of production.
Building Panels
Insulated Panels
The SikaForce range of 1 and 2 component PUR adhesives are ideal for the continuous and discontinuous manufacture of insulated building panels.
Their combination of rapid curing and long open time gives high output and low waste due to line stops.
Fire approved systems are available within the range to meet the new Euroclass A2 requirements.
SikaForce products have excellent application properties providing solutions for bead, spray and jet spray applications within the range.
Door Panels
Both SikaMelt and SikaForce product ranges are utilised in the manufacture of door panels because of their ability to bond a wide range of substrates including plastics often without the need for additional surface treatment.
Sikaflex is used for in-door glaze bonding and frame installation.
SikaFast is used for structural assembly of door frames prior to installation.
Roof Panels
Insulated roof panels are bonded both continuously and discontinuously using SikaForce 1 and 2 component systems.
Sika Trocal or Sarnafill waterproof membranes can be applied either on site or directly onto the panel in the production environment.
Decorative Panels
A wide range of material combinations are used in the manufacture of decorative panels with SikaMelt and SikaForce ideally suited to this application.
The rapid processing capability of SikaMelt and the high mechanical strength of SikaForce offer a solution for all applications from lightweight decorative panels through o high performance honeycomb panel bonding.
