42 HSBC Headquarters Annexe, Kuala LumpurHEADLINESubSIKA’S FACADE SOLUTIONSika’s facade products have a long history. Sikaflex PU sealants for concrete walls and SikaMembran EPDM sheet membranes have long been introduced in the facade market. However before 2004 Sikawas not an important player in the structural glazing facades. When Sika acquired the engineeringsilicone business from Wacker-Chemie GmbH in 2004, Wacker’s Elastosil SG-500 and Elastosil -355have already been used for more than 10 years by renowned curtain wall fabricators such as JosefGartner and Shenyang YuanDa. Sika then composed a unique product portfolio around the siliconeproducts, called now Sikasil , and established a sophisticated technical service in the Sika FacadeCompetence in Switzerland and a very efficient on-site service. Thus Sika became THE partner forsealing and bonding in glass facades, for all climatic conditions, from the harsh Siberian winter to thehot and humid equatorial summer.

ARGON-FILLED INSULATING GLASSWITH Sikasil IG-25 HM PLUS6161 Russia Federation Towers, Moscow (2008)Architects: Tschoban & Schwegler (DE)Facade by Shenyang YuanDa (CN)Insulating Glass by SYP (CN)66 Nou Hotel Beijing (2014)Facade by Jangho, (CN)Insulating Glass by SYP (CN)PROJECT REQUIREMENTSIn high-performance energy-saving glass facades the insulatingglass units must be argon-filled, especially in cold climates. Sofar this was the domain of capped wall systems and standardwindows with PU and PS secondary sealants, because forstructural sealant glazing only silicone sealants are approved.But due to the high argon permeability they were regarded as notsuitable for argon-filled IG units.SIKA SOLUTIONSWith the development of the high-modulus silicone secondary sealantSikasil IG-25 HM Plus argon loss rates as low as 0.2% per year are achievable,resulting in a service life of the IG unit of at least 30 years.8SIKA SOLUTIONS FOR FACADES IN ASIA
