Direct Glazing

For over 20 years, Sika has been providing OEM assembly lines with adhesive and sealant solutions for sealing, bonding and direct glazing. Manual and automated pretreatment options, that eliminate the need for black primers, are available to fit the needs of a variety of OEM application processes. These create significant cost savings and generate manufacturing process simplification and result in higher quality products for lower total systems costs.

Sika offers a wide range of adhesive technologies to suit all direct glazing applications. Specific Sikaflex solutions are available to suit cold, warm and hot application processes. Proprietary Sikaflex materials are capable of retaining the glass in position following installation, allowing for elimination of secondary clips, fixings and tape. Sikaflex materials can also provide low electrically conductive properties for elimination of galvanic corrosion and reduction of antenna signal loss. The SikaTack Booster range provides the ultimate solution for OEMs seeking excellent mechanical properties with the shortest possible full cure time. Unlike traditional two-component systems, this accelerated one-component system has the significant benefit of full material cure,regardless of the presence of the Booster,providing enhanced process quality,consistency and security.
