Product catalog summary
Introduction
Sikaflex® Booster is designed to eliminate bottlenecks in adhesive bonding processes across various industries. It enhances the speed of adhesive curing without requiring re-engineering of vehicle designs, making it suitable for both industrial and vehicle assembly as well as commercial vehicle repair.
Technology and Benefits
The Sikaflex® Booster technology accelerates the adhesive curing reaction while maintaining adequate working time. It can be interchanged with corresponding 1 Component materials, offering benefits such as reduced waiting time, optimized assembly order, and consistent performance regardless of workshop temperature. For commercial vehicle repair, it significantly reduces vehicle downtime and allows immediate service work after glass replacement.
PowerCure System
The PowerCure dispensing and packaging platform allows smaller users to benefit from the technology, offering ergonomic handling, precise dosing, and flexible use. The system includes efficient sausage packaging and a dynamic mixer, reducing waste and increasing throughput.
Comparison with Other Technologies
Sikaflex® Booster offers advantages over traditional 1 Component and 2 Component technologies, such as faster strength development and fail-proof curing. It provides the same end performance with or without the booster, unlike 2 Component systems that may suffer performance drops.
Applications
Sikaflex® Booster is suitable for various applications, including high-strength vehicle glass bonding, assembly bonding, and joint sealing. It is compatible with Sika’s black-primerless glass bonding process and offers high chemical resistance and weathering stability.
Added Value and Support
Sika provides comprehensive support, including customer application training, production line audits, and technical documentation. The company aims to enhance productivity, reduce costs, and deliver differentiated end products for customers.
Company Overview
Sika AG is a global leader in specialty chemicals, supplying industries such as automotive, construction, and renewable energy. The company focuses on sealing, bonding, damping, reinforcing, and protecting load-bearing structures.
