MADISON HEIGHTS, Michigan, 5 sept. 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sika Automotive is proud to announce that it has been selected as a finalist for the 2025 Automotive News PACE (Premier Automotive Suppliers’ Contribution to Excellence) Awards for Innovation.
For nearly 30 years, the Automotive News PACE Awards have recognized innovations in the global automotive supply chain. For the 2025 edition, the SikaSeal solution®-832 from Sika Automotive for a pumpable deflector in small cavities was selected as a finalist. This innovative adhesive, which is part of the SikaSeal family of automotive products® delivers superior noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) performance, significantly improving vehicle comfort and durability. Its pump-on application process allows for precise, automated installation, reducing labor costs and making it a cost-effective and reliable choice for manufacturers.
SikaSeal®-832 also demonstrates remarkable adaptability to complex geometries, ensuring optimal sealing in various structural cavities. In addition, its formulation is environmentally friendly, adhering to strict VOC regulations and promoting manufacturing sustainability. Its development demonstrates Sika’s commitment to advancing automotive technologies and strengthening its leadership position in innovative solutions.
“Sika continues to be a provider of innovative solutions to the automotive industry. We are proud that our automotive innovation has been selected as a finalist by the PACE Awards. The pumpable baffle has been designed specifically for sealing small cavities in a vehicle where hand-applied tapes and small parts are predominantly used. The pumpable baffle solution eliminates the need for hand application, and as vehicle cavities become smaller, it is becoming almost impossible to apply parts in these areas. Sika’s pumpable baffle solution enables customers to build lighter, greener, stronger and quieter vehicles,” said Scott HenryPresident of Sika for the Americas in the automotive and industrial sector.
