Stiffener Bars

Finding trained welders is becoming increasingly difficult. Sika's adhesive solutions will help you streamline some processes and free up your valuable welding resource. Replacing spot-welding on stiffener bar applications is an ideal place to start looking for these efficiencies.             

There are two possibilities here. Bonding stiffener bars before a paint process or after.

Utilising SikaPower® SmartCore technology, you can bond stiffener bars before a low-bake paint process or a powder-coat process. This allows for pre-assembly before a finishing process and will also remove long re-finishing processes like grinding after welding on A-surfaces.

Alternatively, you can have parts painted before assembly and using SikaFast® technology, the wide adhesion range and speed make this product ideal for bonding stiffener bars in final assembly. Stiffener bar assembly is present in many fields of manufacturing, so a good alternative metal joining technique, with Sika's innovative metal adhesives can replace welded joints without compromise.
