Interior Component Bonding

Modern rail vehicle interiors need to have a high durability and life expectancy in order to meet the day-to-day requirements of transporting people in high numbers. Rail vehicle operators need high performance and reliability from their interiors as repairs and breakdowns can be costly and disruptive. Interior panels, brackets, sub-assemblies and lighting systems can all be built rapidly and reliably with Sika adhesives. The combination of fast assembly, rapid cure, flexibility, strength and performance can be achieved using one of a number of proven Sika adhesive systems.

Sikaflex polyurethane adhesives provide high performance elastic assembly of components, with a user-friendly, one-component formulation. Sikaflex hybrid technology provides the high performance of Sikaflex polyurethane systems combined with reduced substrate surface preparation. SikaFast two-component adhesives offer high strength, rapid de-jigging and cure times, good impact resistance, and low substrate surface preparation. The SikaForce range of products offers adhesive solutions for bonding a wide spectrum of substrates used in rail vehicle interior assembly. Examples of these include materials such as aluminium, coated steel, glass, glass fi bre reinforced plastics (GRP), painted substrates and plastics.

Why Use Interior Component Bonding?
   
- Compatible with all common rail industry substrates
- High impact resistance
- Wide range of cure speeds to suit diverse assembly techniques
  No damage to substrate or structure due to drilling or welding
 
Technological Benefits
   
- Capable of bonding dissimilar materials with the avoidance of corrosion
- Rapid sub-component assembly
- Adhesive systems absorb vibration, improving interior vehicle noise levels
- Lower component costs due to the ability of adhesives to bond to different types of plastics, composites or metals that are otherwise diffi cult to assemble
