Sika innovations support eco-industrial performance

This reaffirmed the role of Sika - part of Swiss chemical giant Sika AG - as a strategic partner in the construction industry, advancing the development of green-certified factories.

At the summit, Nguyen Vinh Thao, TM waterproofing supervisor at Sika Vietnam, noted that building a landmark sustainable industrial building takes more than certified materials - it requires the combination of advanced technologies, technical expertise, and perfect execution.

“We are committed to working alongside developers and investors to create eco-industrial facilities that are not only efficient and durable but also future-ready,” said Thao.

With a comprehensive portfolio of sustainable solutions, ranging from build to repair or protection in new construction and renovation projects, Sika empowers industrial investors to meet stringent environmental, social, and governance requirements and achieve long-term operational efficiency.

To support enterprises in meeting green building standards for eco-industrial parks (eco-IPs), Sika introduces an integrated construction technology system that satisfies high technical demands while minimising environmental impact and lifecycle costs.

This system is built on three core pillars: state-of-the-art solutions from basement to roof tailored for both new construction and retrofit projects; expert technical consulting supporting projects at all stages; and certified contractor training schemes to ensure consistent quality and performance throughout the construction lifecycle.

As a core pillar of Sika’s solutions from basement to roof, green technology is engineered to support sustainable development goals and ensure compliance with leading green building certifications.

From complying with diverse standards such as EPD, BREEAM, LOTUS, LEED v4, ISO 14644, GMP, FDA, and HACCP, to reducing VOC emissions; from adopting ReCO₂ver concrete recycling technology and recyclable waterproofing membranes that support a circular economy in construction, to implementing Sarnafil® energy-efficient roofing systems that help lower energy consumption and extend building lifespan to over 40 years.

Every area within an industrial facility has specific technical demands, requiring tailored solutions for each functional area.

To meet the needs of high-performance industrial flooring, Sika offers Sikafloor-2350 ESD, an advanced electrostatic discharge control system with stable conductivity, effectively dissipating static electricity, minimising damage risks to sensitive components, and ensuring a safe working environment. Certified to LEED v4 and ISO Class 4, this is an ideal solution for green electronics manufacturing.

Meanwhile, Sikafloor's Multidur ESD and Ucrete are designed for food, chemical, and pharmaceutical factories, offering high load-bearing capacity, excellent chemical resistance, thermal durability, and hygienic properties.

To protect wastewater infrastructure, Sika provides Sikagard-7000 CR, a high-performance concrete coating system developed with Xolutec technology.

The coating system delivers outstanding chemical resistance, both static and dynamic crack-bridging, and biological corrosion protection - ensuring long-term durability and making it a trusted choice among industrial owners.

In addition, Sika’s waterproofing and building envelope solutions, as well as fire protection systems, further enhance operational performance, durability, weather resistance, and compliance with strict safety and construction standards in industrial environments.

More than a supplier, Sika Vietnam is a trusted long-term partner throughout the project lifecycle. With in-depth technical expertise, Sika supports solution selection based on local soil and environmental conditions - from design and construction to certified contractor training.

To date, Sika has established a network of over 90 certified contractors and a nationwide team of technical experts ready to meet the diverse demands of industrial projects across Vietnam’s various regions.

Through a robust support system - including free technical assessments, in-depth consulting, feasibility studies, and on-site supervision - Sika ensures each project achieves optimal quality tailored to their local context. This integrated value chain tightly links product quality and execution excellence, unlocking the full potential of advanced technologies.

Sika Vietnam’s comprehensive solutions have been widely adopted in key industrial projects, notably the Pepperl + Fuchs Vietnam factory. There, Sika supplied over 8,000sq.m of electrostatic discharge control flooring and provided end-to-end technical support from design to implementation, ensuring timeline, quality, and long-term performance across the entire flooring system.

Sika Vietnam is a wholly Swiss-owned subsidiary of Sika AG, officially serving the Vietnamese market since 1993.

The company operates three production facilities located in Nhon Trach, Bac Ninh, and Binh Duong, alongside a nationwide distribution network of over 200 distributors and dealers.

Sika Vietnam specialises in manufacturing and supplying products and solutions for a wide range of applications in the construction and industrial sectors.

Thanks to their high-quality products and professional services, the company is a trusted partner for architects, consultants, developers, and construction companies across the country.
