PowerCure Adhesives for the Transportation Industry
For the transportation industry, Sika is providing product systems. Those are available as 1C, bulk booster solution, and also for the PowerCure system. These products reach the same final performance, regardless of cured by air moisture or SikaBooster®. In use, the combination of such products is beneficial. For example, Sikaflex®-268 + Booster, out of bulk, is most economical for large volume applications. Sikaflex®-268 PowerCure, however, is ideal for line applications where less consumption is required. Pump equipment is often not financially justified.

PowerCure Adhesives for structural glass bonding in residential windows with high burglary resistance
PowerCure technology isn’t limited to STP and PUR adhesives. Sika also offers “boosted” one-component silicones compatible with the PowerCure dispensing system. Boosted silicones combine the benefits of both one- and two-component adhesives: Climate-independent and quick-curing along with the utmost ease in manual application. There is almost no limit to how the products can be used, including working in harsh outdoor conditions typical for window repair.
Sikasil® WT-66
Sikasil® WT-66 is a boosted silicone adhesive for structural window bonding and for other bonding applications where superior resistance to UV radiation, weathering, and high temperatures is required. Sikasil® WT-66 provides a durable and robust bond between the insulating glass unit and the sash frame. This makes it much more difficult for a would-be opportunist burglar to lever out the insulating glass unit compared to conventionally assembled sashes.
