Research & Development
Sika Werke GmbH uses for the development of new products diverse co-operations with research institutions and universities in Saxony
State-of-the-art test equipment is used at the R&D department both in order to establish the physical as well as chemical parameters of the raw materials used and in the course of product development. For example, Sika Werke GmbH has two tensile load measurement devices at its disposal which can establish the mechanical parameters of the composite foils produced e.g. extension, tensile strength and composite bond strength. For the purpose of research and testing of new composites, the R&D department has, among other equipment, an IR spectrometer and a climate chamber as well as a large number of foil testing devices and methods for the determination of specific foil and adhesive parameter at its disposal.
