Adhesives For Structural Reinforcement
Adhesives For Structural Reinforcement
Sika India Pvt Ltd offers Adhesives for Structural Reinforcement. During the last few years, customer requirements for vehicle safety in the automotive industry have continuously increased. Therefore the employment of additional structural measures to reinforce the vehicle body structure has become essential. These structural reinforcements embrace measurements, which optimise crash performance, increase torsion stiffness and reduce noise and vibration in the automotive industry. SikaReinforcer is a thermally expandable lightweight structural epoxy reinforcement based technology. SikaReinforcer is cohesively moulded to its 3D SikaStructure to support cavities for vehicle stiffness improvement (safety; durability; and NVH). SikaStructure is a plastic, steel, or hybrid 3D engineered composite design used in conjunction with SikaReinforcer. The moulded combination of SikaReinforcer and SikaStructure is designed to increase stiffness and structural integrity. This engineered, lightweight solution offers potential replacement to high strength steel and other substrates. The moulded, customised SikaReinforcer/SikaStructure part can be robotically or manually inserted into vehicle cavities such as: A, B, C, and D pillars; frame rails; beams; doors.
