Sikadur®-30 LP IN

Thixotropic epoxy structural adhesive for bonding reinforcement

Sikadur®-30 LP IN is a 2-part epoxy based thixotropic structural adhesive which bonds to most construction materials and especially designed for use at higher temperatures between +25 °C and +55 °C. It has high mechanical strength and is used for bonding structural reinforcement and structural strengthening using steel or Sika® CarboDur® plates.

  • High temperature resistance at elevated curing temperatures
  • Easy to mix and apply
  • No primer needed
  • High creep resistance under permanent load
  • Very good adhesion to concrete, masonry, stonework, steel, cast iron, aluminium, timber and Sika® CarboDur® plates

Product temperature

Sikadur®-30 LP IN must be applied at temperatures between +20 °C and +40 °C.

Ambient air temperature

+25 °C min. / +55 °C max.

Dew point

Beware of condensation.
Substrate temperature during application must be at least +3 °C above dew point.

Substrate temperature

+25 °C min. / +55 °C max.

Substrate moisture content

≤ 4 % parts by weight
The following test methods can be used: Sika®-Tramex meter, CM-measurement or Oven-dry-method. No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet).

Pot life

Temperature

Pot life

+25 °C

~60 minutes (100 g mass)

+55 °C

~30 minutes (100 g mass)

The potlife begins when the resin and hardener are mixed. It is shorter at high temperatures and longer at low temperatures. The greater the quantity mixed, the shorter the potlife. To obtain longer workability at high temperatures, the mixed adhesive may be divided into portions. Another method is to chill parts A+B before mixing them (not below +5 °C).

Consumption

Consumption

Consumption will depend on the roughness of the substrate and the type of reinforcement to be bonded. See respective Sika® CarboDur® Product Data Sheet and also refer to:

  • Method Statement: Sika® CarboDur® Externally Bonded Reinforcement - Ref 850 41 05
  • Method Statement: Sika® CarboDur® Near Surface Mounted Reinforcement - Ref 850 41 07
Application steps

SUBSTRATE QUALITY

Substrates must be structurally sound and of sufficient tensile strength to provide a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm2 or as required in the design specification.

Reference must be made to the Sika Method Statements:

  • Method Statement: Sika® CarboDur® Externally Bonded Reinforcement - Ref 850 41 05
  • Method Statement: Sika® CarboDur® Near Surface Mounted Reinforcement - Ref 850 41 07

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Reference must be made to the Sika Method Statements:

  • Method Statement: Sika® CarboDur® Externally Bonded Reinforcement - Ref 850 41 05
  • Method Statement: Sika® CarboDur® Near Surface Mounted Reinforcement - Ref 850 41 07

MIXING

IMPORTANT

Mix full units only.

IMPORTANT

Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment.

Note: Always use a mixing spindle attached to a slow speed electric drill (< 300 rpm).

  

  1. Add Part B (hardener) to Part A (resin).
  2. Mix Parts A+B continuously for ~3 minutes until a uniformly coloured mix is achieved.
  3. To ensure thorough mixing, pour materials into a clean container and mix again for approximately 1 minute.

APPLICATION

Reference must be made to the Sika Method Statements:

  • Method Statement: Sika® CarboDur® Externally Bonded Reinforcement - Ref 850 41 05
  • Method Statement: Sika® CarboDur® Near Surface Mounted Reinforcement - Ref 850 41 07
 

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools and application equipment immediately after use with Sika® Colma Cleaner. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
