The trend towards sustainability of adhesives and sealants

To comply with the global trend of sustainability Sika is investigating into sustainable options for adhesives and sealants. Sustainable adhesives combine reduced environmental impact, durability and a formulation, which complies with the most stringent global VOC (volatile organic compounds) requirements, where the claim is to get the VOC emission reduced to the minimum.
Teak Replacement SikaFloor 595 Marine

How to mimic wood?

Sika innovation to replace teak - The new cool-deck technology of SikaFloor® Marine 595 stands for more comfort and sustainability. Sika developed a polyurethane based floor, which comes with the benefit of being a sustainable product as its resins are bio-sourced. At the same time the solution mimics a teak deck.

The World Runs Out Of Sand

The world is running out of sand. However, Sika has the solutions to solve this problem in the construction industry. Sand covers much of the earth’s surface, but sand isn’t just sand. In the industrial world, it’s an “aggregate,” a category that includes gravel, crushed stone, and various recycled materials. Natural aggregate is the world’s second most heavily exploited natural resource after water, and for many uses the right kind is scarce or inaccessible.

Automotive Engineering Expo 2019

SikaPower® SmartFlow: Injection Adhesives for Vehicle Body Construction

New lightweight concepts for reducing CO2 emissions from vehicles and the trend toward electric vehicles are two global trends that call for new vehicle designs. The use of aluminum profiles and castings is particularly increasing in these areas. Castings are often used as so called nodes for joining profiles. In particular, the bonding of these components by means of adhesives presents new technical challenges. Sika has now developed a new adhesive solution for this purpose.

With its solutions in the specialty chemicals area, Sika makes an important global contribution to megatrends such as urbanization, e-mobility, and sustainable development. At the same time, the company helps buildings, infrastructure, and vehicles to be more sustainable, i.e. making them longer-lasting and resource-efficient, as well as environmentally-friendly and harmless to human health.

Using the Future as a Resource

Innovation management at Sika permeates the entire organization. In order to create value for customers and other stakeholders, Sika established an interdisciplinary innovation team which creates ideas around how things could be. This practice was coined by the concept of speculative design as a way to speculate and imagine about how reality, current and future solutions, have to be in order to drive value for your customers.
