Read more| Toughened and high impact-resistant 2-component structural adhesive SikaPower-1277 is a structural 2-component epoxy adhesive, which cures at room temperature. It is designed for high strength and impact-resistant bonding of metallic substrates, like steel and aluminum, as well as of composite substrates, like GFRP and CFRP laminates. The adhesive has good non-sag properties and contains glass beads of 0.3 mm to ensure an optimal bonding thickness.

PRODUCT BENEFITS
UsageSikaPower-1277 is suitable for structural bonding applications in transportation and general industry. It can also be used for repair applications in combination with spot welding, riveting or clinching. The product is applied as contact adhesive (2-side application). In case of single bead application contact Sika.This product is suitable for professional experienced users only. Test with actual substrates and conditions have to be performed to ensure adhesion and material compatibility. Packaging

Technical Information CURE MECHANISM SikaPower-1277 cures by chemical reaction of the two components at room temperature. The cure rate is accelerated and the final glass transition temperature, as well as the tensile and shear strengths, may be significantly increased at higher curing temperatures. The following table shows typical lap-shear strengths reached after different curing times and temperatures. Temperature Time Strength 23 °C 24 hours 20 MPa 60 °C 60 minutes 10 MPa 80 °C 30 minutes 15 MPa Table 1: Typical lap-shear strength development at different curing conditions (strength tested at 23 °C) CHEMICAL RESISTANCE In view of potential chemical or thermal exposure, it is required to conduct a project related testing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Application Information Surface Preparation Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from grease, oil and dust. Surface treatment depends on the specific nature of the substrates and is crucial for a long lasting bond. All pre-treatment steps must be confirmed by preliminary tests on original substrates considering specific conditions in the assembly process. Application SikaPower-1277 is dispensed from dual cartridges with adequate piston guns or from pails with 2-component equipment. If dispensed out of equipment, the mixer needs to be tailored for the specific application. Cartridge use: Extrude adhesive without mixer to equalize the filling levels. Attach the mixer and dispose the first few cm of the bead prior to the application. Removal Uncured SikaPower-1277 can be removed from tools and equipment with Sika Remover-208 or another suitable solvent. Once cured, the material can only be removed mechanically. Hands and exposed skin have to be washed immediately using hand wipes such as Sika Cleaner-350 H or a suitable industrial hand cleaner and water. Do not use solvents on skin! STORAGE CONDITIONS SikaPower-1277 has to be kept between 10 °C and 30 °C in a dry place. Do not expose to direct sunlight or frost. After opening of the packaging, the contents have to be protected against humidity. |
