SikaPower 880 epoxy structural adhesive for metals and composites

      Description of the two-component epoxy adhesive SikaPower 880

SikaPower 880 is a thixotropic two-component epoxy adhesive designed for structural bonding requiring high mechanical strength, excellent impact resistance, and long-term durability.

It is ideal for assembling metal, aluminum, and composite materials (GFRP / CFRP).

It cures at room temperature, making it easy to use in workshops without special equipment.

      Key benefits of this high-strength structural adhesive

• High mechanical strength and robustness

• Fatigue resistance

• Strong adhesion on steel, aluminum, and composites

• Glass beads for controlled thickness

• Durable performance in demanding industrial conditions

• Solvent-free and PVC-free formulation

• Easy application in a 1:1 two-component cartridge

      Industrial applications for metal and composite bonding

SikaPower 880 is suited for:

• metal-to-metal bonding

• metal-to-composite bonding

• composite-to-composite bonding

Used in the automotive industry, metal fabrication, marine applications, special vehicles, and all environments requiring high-performance structural bonding.

      Méthode d’application pour un assemblage structurel fiable

• Clean the surfaces (e.g., Sika Remover 208)

• Abrasive preparation if needed

• Clean again to remove residues

• Purge components A/B before installing the mixer

• Install the static mixer

• Apply regular adhesive beads

• Assemble parts with brief pressure

• Adjust during the 45-minute open time

The glass beads ensure a controlled bond thickness, essential for structural reliability.

      Room-temperature curing and final performance

SikaPower 880 cures fully at room temperature, enabling efficient workshop application.

Once cured, the bond offers strength comparable to a welded joint, resisting impacts, vibrations, and mechanical loads.
