CUSTOMIZED AND INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS

As an innovative formulator SikaAxson is keen to customize systems and formulations to comply with the
exact needs of industrial applications. Based on a solid experience in formulation for over 70 years and
implementing the latest technologies into our adhesives enables us to bring solutions to new material
assembly.
Using unique Nano fillers technologies to enhance simultaneously properties like shear and peel resistance
SikaAxson adhesives combine properties that normally are impossible to combine. The control of chemical
reactions are accurately managed thanks to new catalyst technologies that fully comply with REACH. This
offers extended open times with very short handling time opening the doors of process demanding
industries like automotive and composite.
SikaAxson have been involved in advanced adhesive formulations for decades. This long lasting experience,
in a very demanding field of activities, today results in a strong competence in structural bonding which has
been acquired in tandem to customer specifications and processes. Hereunder some applications list and
recommended materials are listed.

AUTOMOTIVE AND TRANSPORTATION

SikaAxson’s range covers large thermoplastic, laminate composites and metallic assembles that require a wide spectrum of mo-
dulus from flexible to rigid material:

FLEXIBLE PU is preferred for dissimilar assembly with low adhesive thickness: absorb CTE gap, high elongation. Good
energy absorption (crash). Handling in a few minutes with limited activation energy.
