Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, and
is dedicated to the memory of journalists killed in the line of
work.
Project Requirements
The construction requested a durable, high-strength adhesive
for the save bonding of the curved glass elements onto the
steel skeleton.

Sika Solution
The SikaMembran system consists of a
set of EPDM membranes and an adhesive
suitable for a durable water-/vapour-proofing
in each climate and on many various
substrates. The easy and fast application of
the thin sheet membranes is outstanding.

SikaTack Panel elastic bonding technology
requires no screws or brackets and grants a
timesaving application. Temporarily
held in place using special double-sided
adhesive tape, SikaTack Panel adhesive
bonds the panel firmly but stress free to the
carrier frame (no buckling). Vapour proofing
of the ventilated facade ideally is done with
SikaMembran system.

Project Requirements
In high-performance energy-saving glass
facades the insulating glass units must be
Argon-filled. So far this was a domain of
capped curtain wall systems and standard
windows with PU and PS secondary sealants,
because for structural sealant glazing only
silicone sealants are approved. But silicones
were regarded as not suitable for Argon-filled
IG units.

Sika Solution
With the development of the high-modulus
silicone secondary sealant Sikasil IG-25 HM
Plus Argon loss rates as low as 0.5% per
year are achievable, resulting in a service
life of the IG unit of at least 30 years. For
the projects above Sikasil SG, IG, WS and
even Sika Spacer Tape HD in a particular
shade of grey have been created to meet the
architects expectations.
