30 years ago, we introduced our first innovative primer-less to glass and paint systems at BMW and since that time, we’ve continued to advance the industry’s understanding of the bonding process and PUR chemistry. Today, we provide OEM and Tier customers with a variety of innovative high-performance solutions – including our Sikaflex® one-component polyurethane adhesives. These versatile adhesives are applied to a wide variety of substrates in direct glazing, mixed material bonding and trim part bonding applications.
