Trends

TRUCK TRENDS

The global truck industry is a dynamic and challenging environment. Truck operators demand

ever-lower vehicle operating and repair costs combined with improved reliability and durability.

Government legislation is regulating lower vehicle emissions and improved safety.

4

Modern vehicles must comply with ever increasing legislative

requirements for reduced emissions. At the same time, more

and more electronic driving aid systems must be incorporated

into trucks to ensure increased driving safety. Furthermore, fleet

operators demand the lowest possible operating cost. These

combined requisites have given truck manufacturers the daunting

task of producing lighter vehicles with lower fuel consumption.

Sika offers technologies which help to reduce vehicle weight

substantially by the use of lighter and dissimilar substrates

New regulations and broad implementation of more stringent

crash standards strongly impact the transport industry. This is a

challenge for truck manufacturers since the required crash tests

and redesign of vehicles in order to comply with these tough

regulations can be quite costly. Sika offers custom-made solutions

which are easy to implement and require limited or even no

re-design of the truck body.

TRUCK

Trends

The global chemical industry is constantly evolving with technology

playing a greater role helping companies ensure compliance,

drive profitability, reduce risks, and improve environmental and

social performance. At the same time new legislation, harsher

classification, and higher demands on worker safety are problematic

for everyone involved with chemical substances. Sika is dedicated

to sustainable development and provides innovative solutions like

water-based pretreatments, phthalate- and tin-free sealants and

adhesives, as well as products which allow for reduced consumption

and considerable weight saving.

>>

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

In a fierce market environment, quality plays a key role. However,

costs are of equal importance to truck manufacturers in order to

maintain competitiveness and success. Therefore, focus is put on

process simplification in order to reduce the risk of mistakes and on

shorter cycle times to increase capacity and remove bottlenecks.

Sika provides advice and solutions on how to achieve these

goals with our accelerated and two-component systems –

simple products which require neither heat for curing nor a lot of

pretreatments.

Body and Paint Shop

BODY AND PAINT SHOP

Truck manufacturers use a wide range of materials and processes in the assembly

of the ‘body in white’ structure within the body shop.

To safe weight, dissimilar material will get more and more common and cost

reduction is asking for low temperature solutions. Sika provides a range of material

technologies ideally suited to this challenging environment.

SikaPower® structural adhesives and sealants are easy to

combine with other joining technologies. Flexibility, durability

and a reduction in the number of spot welding points are just

some of the advantages provided by these products.

Sikaflex® sealing solutions are easy to use one-component,

humidity curing formulations which provide excellent tooling

properties and help substantially reduce the risk of corrosion,

water ingress and standing water.

\"OEM are driving the need for durable body shop

adhesives which improve stiffness, crash resistance

and fatigue performance and are contributing

significantly to reduce overall weight. Sika provides

a broad range of high performance solutions.\"

Noise, Vibration and Harshness Systems

NOISE, VIBRATION AND

HARSHNESS SYSTEMS

Truck operators and government bodies are demanding ever lower standards of

interior and exterior vehicle noise. Sika has formulated technology solutions to

facilitate significant reductions in vehicle noise by absorption of vibration within

the vehicle body.

SikaBaffle® solutions use lightweight, preshaped, molded,

extruded and die-cut parts within the primary body structure

to effectively block common noise transmission paths.

SikaBaffle® product families include thermoplastic and

elastomeric-based formulations. They are designed to be heat

activated and expanded inside vehicle body cavities.

Sikagard® spray on technology is a unique, spray applied

damping and protecting solution designed to minimize

interior noise. It exhibit excellent sound deadening and

stone chip resistance together with outstanding workability

characteristics.

SikaReinforcer® technologies use lightweight, pre-shaped,

injection molded parts within the primary body structure

sections to effectively control the dynamic or static stiffness

in torsion or bending of the vehicle body, without adding

significant mass.

\"Comfortable rides with improved driving capabilities

and body stiffness. Vehicle manufacturers make use

of Sika's vast experience in this field to produce best in

class trucks.\"

Direct Glazing

\"Significant cost reduction and simplification of

production processes can be achieved through the use

of Sika adhesives. Manual or automated pretreatment

without the use of black primer is possible.\"

DIRECT GLAZING

For over 30 years, Sika has been providing Truck assembly lines with adhesives and

sealants for direct glazing applications. The solutions vary from standard products

to innovative systems with high initial strength and accelerated curing speed. Sika

offers a wide range of adhesive to suit various needs for direct glazing applications.

Sikaflex® materials are capable of retaining the glass in

position following installation, allowing for elimination of

secondary clips, fixings and tape. Our products can also provide

low electrically conductive properties for elimination

of galvanic corrosion/antenna signal loss.

The Sikaflex® Booster and PowerCure range offers ultimate

solutions for OEMs seeking excellent mechanical properties

with the shortest possible full cure time and provides the

opportunity to have the same system accelerated from line

application to repair.

High Roof and Exterior Parts Bonding

\"Truck end users demand maximum durability from

their vehicles to overcome the day-to-day challanges

on the road. Sika offers products which supports their

demand.\"

HIGH ROOF AND EXTERIOR

PARTS BONDING

Truck designers and manufacturers increasingly use thermoplastic and thermoset composite materials

to construct exterior components. Improved interior space, lower noise, greater insulation and increased

interior stowage space have facilitated development of high roof sleeper cab trucks capable of providing

maximum comfort for protracted journeys. Sika provides a complete range of specific structural

adhesives to fulfill highest demands in terms of quality, performance and service.

Sikaflex® provides high performance elastic assembly within

an easy to use one component formulation. Sikaflex® can

also be combined with Sika’s proprietary SikaBooster®

and PowerCure® technologies to provide rapid full cure for

applications requiring fast assembly speeds.

SikaFast® Acrylic adhesives are two-part adhesives that

provide excellent bond strength and durability.

SikaPower® Epoxy adhesives come in two-part adhesives and

cure upon mixing the two components. They generally have

the highest strength and overall performance.

SikaForce® two component Polyurethane adhesives are

relatively flexible when cured, and therefore tend to have

excellent impact resistance and good adhesion to most

plastics.

Interior Trim

\"Aspects like operational temperature range and

ecology in conjunction with lowest cost and limited

cycle times were considered in Sika's development

of products for the manufacturing process of

interior trims.\"

INTERIOR TRIM

OEM's made a significant enhancement in interior comfort and functionality in recent years due to

the demands from fleet operaters and drivers. Performance requirements for interior components

have increased, with higher operational temperature requirements, improved emissions and

environmental performance needs and reduced component cost and cycle time in production.

Attractive interiors for better travel comfort require the use

of different materials. Sika has developed several hot melt,

solvent-based and water-based solutions to create strong

adhesion to many substrates.

SikaMelt®, SikaSense® and SikaTherm® technologies are

used in the lamination and bonding of a variety of interior

applications including instrument panels, interior door trims,

carpets, pillar trims, headliners, center consoles, stowage bins

and seat assemblies.
