Body Shop
(Body in White Assembly & Door Assembly)

Truck manufacturers use a wide range of materials and processes in the assembly of the "body in white" structure within the body shop.

Sika provides a range of material technologies ideally suited to this challenging environment. SikaPower structural adhesives are easy to combine with other joining technologies. Flexibility, durability and a reduction in the number of spot welding points are just some of the advantages provided by this sealing and bonding technology. SikaPower body shop adhesives and sealants are heat curing products based on one- and two-component polyurethane epoxy hybrid technology. SikaPower products are available with a wide range of mechanical properties to suit the requirements of applications as diverse as antiflutter, hem flange, stiff structural bonding and crash resistant applications.

Why Use Structural Adhesives?
   
- Enhances component stiffness to facilitate weight reduction and improvements in fuel economy
- Improves component crash resistance to enable improved vehicle safety
- Minimizes risk of water leakage
- Reduces noise, vibration and harshness
- Enables use of optimum substrate for each application via elimination of the requirements of weld compatibility
- Reduced read through
- Improves durability due to optimized distribution of loads
- Excellent corrosion resistance
 
Technological Benefits
