Sika Corp., based in Lyndhurst, N.J., is a supplier of specialty chemical products and industrial materials serving construction and industrial markets. Its technologies are focused on solutions for subfloor preparation, moisture mitigation, wood floor adhesives but also in sealing, bonding, damping, reinforcing and protecting.
