Transportation
High Roof

Vehicle operators are demanding increased long range comfort for drivers and users. Improved interior space, lower noise, greater insulation and increased interior stowage space have facilitated development of high roof sleeper cab trucks capable of providing maximum driver comfort for protracted journeys. Sika has formulated a specialist range of adhesive and sealant solutions to meet the stringent requirements for assembly of the high roof to the main vehicle body.

Sikaflex provides high performance elastic assembly within an easy to use one-component formulation. Sikaflex can also be combined with Sika's proprietary Booster system to provide rapid full cure for applications requiring fast assembly speeds. SikaForce two-component polyurethane combines high strength with good flexibility. SikaFast two-component methyl methacrylate and Acrylic Double Performance (ADP) structural adhesives provide high strength and excellent impact resistance with low surface preparation. All Sika solutions for high roof assembly provide excellent adhesion to painted metals, steel, aluminium and open mould, resin transfer moulded and compression moulded thermoset composites.
