Vehicle owner operators have driven a significant increase in interior comfort and functionality in recent years, requiring the use of an increasingly diverse mix of interior plastics and fabrics. Performance requirements for interior components have increased, with higher operational temperature requirements, improved emissions and environmental performance needs and reduced component cost and cycle time in production. Sika has developed several hot melt, solvent based and water based solutions to create strong adhesion to many substrates. SikaMelt , SikaTherm and SikaSense technologies are used in the lamination and bonding of a variety of interior applications including instrument panels, interior door trim, carpet,pillar trim,head liners,centre consoles,stowage bins and seat assemblies.

SikaMelt offers customers a range of formulations to meet a variety of substrate and process requirements. SikaMelt provides good initial green strength without pretreatment, and is ideal for high speed assembly operations. SikaTherm water based adhesives are high performance single- and dualcomponent polyurethane dispersion systems suitable for manual or automated application. SikaTherm formulations are suitable for pressure and vacuum lamination, and are capable of meeting the highest durability and long term ageing standards. SikaSense is a traditional solvent based adhesive developed for high performance pressure sensitive adhesive dispersions used for tape and sound damping applications.
