Sikaflex sealants; Top of the range for vehicle durability and reliability

Smooth, flush surfaces play a vital part in the aerodynamic efficiency and styling appeal of modern vehicles. By doing away with the rubber gaskets and cover trims around windows and body panels, adhesive-bonded vehicle components make it possible to achieve the smooth, unbroken lines that designers and stylists aim for. The joint between e.g. glass and body flange is simply filled with a suitable sealant or adhesive/sealant and tooled flush with the surrounding body panels. These flush lines also facilitate washing and cleaning of the vehicle.

Sika offers a wide range of high-performance Sikaflex sealants with many special features in addition to meeting all the basic requirements, especially waterproofing and prevention of corrosion. Besides this primary sealing function, Sikaflex sealants perform a valuable insulating function (acoustic, thermal).

In vehicle construction, where body parts of the same or dissimilar materials are joined together, various gaps and cavities must be sealed. Sika supplies the vehicle industry with various sealant systems to ensure that the right sealant is used for each particular application, both for new construction and repair work.
