Textile reinforced polymer matrix: SikaRecent Research Landscape

Structural failure and thermal bridging in lightweight panels compromise building safety and energy efficiency. These innovations integrate structural reinforcement directly into a hardened inorganic foam phase to ensure mechanical integrity without sacrificing fire resistance.

What technical problems is Sika addressing in Textile reinforced polymer matrix?

Inadequate building envelope thermal protection

(5)evidences

Standard lightweight thermal insulation materials often lack sufficient fire resistance or structural integrity under thermal stress. Improving these properties prevents catastrophic material failure during fire exposure while maintaining low weight.

Structural substrate debonding

(2)evidences

Non-uniform stress concentration in composite base components leads to premature mechanical failure. Improved load transfer across the bottom plate interface prevents structural deformation under high stress.
