Sika Construction Markets

Cement manufacture is a highly technical process in which every part has a decisive impact on the product quality as well as on economical and ecological production parameters. The cement grinding process is the final chance to adjust the cement quality to meet the demands set by relevant standards and cement customers.

Sika is considered to be the industry leader on a worldwide basis in concrete repair and protection. Many years of research and development plus decades of practical experience has enabled Sika to provide systems to restore and rehabilitate concrete structures that have deteriorated due to corrosion, structural damage, water infiltration, freeze/thaw, seismic activity, reactive aggregates, and others. Sika is able to provide you with special admixtures for site batch mortars, pre-bagged repair mortars and a wide range of concrete protective solutions.

System solutions with Sika not only meet high requirements for durability, they fit the trends of modern concrete placing and architecture aspects in combination with ecological requirements. All these advantages are supplemented by a comprehensive range of technical services that can be used individually depending on the specific needs of the customer and project.

Sealing and Bonding in interior Finishing: Sika can provide the optimum bonding and sealing solutions for interior finishing which meet all of the design and performance specifications in full. We work in close collaboration with architects, engineers and specialist contractors to achieve this and bonding is often a better alternative to conventional screwing and nailing for many reasons. With Sika’s extensive product range, the right solution can be provided for almost any bonding and sealing requirement during the finishing phase.

Sika Flooring Systems have been developed for a wide range of markets: - Transport & Infrastructure - Water & Power - Health care, Education & Leisure - Manufacturing. Assembling, Chemcial and Petrochemcial Industry - Residential, Commercial & Administration Building - Precast Concrete Elements Each of these markets have specific requirements in terms of traffic and mechanical wear, chemical resistance, temperature, slip resistance, impact resistance, permeability to liquids, fire resistance, rapid curing, etc.
Our global industrial flooring expertise is directly linked to our high-performance products and customer needs. We have developed systems taking into account design life, operational requirements, construction joints, floor to wall connections, surface design and installation details.

For the function and the durability of the building envelope joint sealing is of key importance despite the fact that it is only a small part of the whole construction. The purpose of joint sealing generally is to prevent passage of media (air, water, chemicals, smoke etc.), to provide thermal and sound insulation, and to enhance the visual appearance of the whole construction. The tightness of buildings and hence, the role of sealants becomes more and more important in order to achieve low energy ratings for buildings. Without proper joint sealing it would be impossible to insulate a building sufficiently. Sikaflex^® and Sikasil^® elastic joint sealants are high-performance products that provide the necessary tightness under any environmental and load conditions. Sika’s elastic joint sealants are able to accommodate thermal and structural movements without breaking or loosing the adhesion to the adjacent building elements.
