Overview

          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.
