Innovations in material sciences with diverse applications pose additional challenges on
processing technology, particularly when different materials have to be joined to make
components which retain their inherent beneficial properties in the composite product.
This raises the question as to which joining technique is ideal where the specific properties of
the respective materials are retained?
With thermal techniques such as welding, the specific properties of the material alter within
the heat-affected zone. Mechanical techniques such as riveting or screwing, only allow force
transfer at points; in addition, it is necessary to drill holes in the work pieces that are
being joined which damages and weakens the materials.
In contrast, Bonding & Sealing technology has assumed an ever more important role. With path
breaking advancements through revolutionary Research & Development in Polymer & Material
sciences, Adhesives and Sealant materials are rapidly showing the way materials are to be bonded
as it comes with improved Product Quality, Reliability, Design Flexibility and Aesthetics.
We are proud to offer the best of Bonding & Sealing solutions from the global offering of SIKA,
