Demand for energy efficient buildings, temperature controlled environments and fire performance products which are aesthetically pleasing and cost effective is increasing dramatically. Some key reasons for this are:

- Energy efficiency demands from society, governing bodies and end users increase
- More temperature controlled food (cold) chain distribution
- Trend towards industrialised building construction (steel space frame and insulated panel)
- Fire regulations increase, and therefore demands for fire performance panels

As a result, designers and manufacturers must continually find improved solutions which have enhanced environmental and technical performance and at the same time are increasingly efficient to produce.
For 25 years Sika has pioneered the use of adhesives for sandwich panel bonding, offering high quality solutions for a wide range of applications in building components production.
Bonding, sealing and laminating operations can be carried out using Sika products through the various stages of production.
