Sikadur-30 LP IN
Long-pot-life thixotropic epoxy adhesive for bonding CFRP plates in warm and hot conditions
Product Overview
Sikadur-30 LP IN is a two-component, thixotropic epoxy structural adhesive used to bond Sika® CarboDur® carbon-fibre (CFRP) plates and steel plates to concrete, brickwork, timber and steel for structural strengthening. The LP grade carries an extended pot life and high temperature resistance, making it suitable for warm and hot conditions where ambient and substrate temperatures fall between roughly +25C and +55C. Its non-sag consistency holds on soffits and vertical faces, it cures without shrinkage, and it offers high creep resistance for long-term load transfer into bonded reinforcement. Strengthening applications include uprating beams, slabs and columns to carry higher loads or to address deterioration. Space Arc Engineering, an authorized Sika distributor in India, supplies Sikadur-30 LP IN in pre-batched packs to support reliable site mixing.
Features & Benefits
- Long pot life with high temperature resistance for CFRP bonding in hot climates
- Strong adhesion to concrete, steel, brickwork and timber substrates
- Thixotropic, non-sag body suited to soffit, beam and vertical plate bonding
- High creep resistance for durable, sustained load transfer into reinforcement
- Hardens without shrinkage and is impermeable to liquids and water vapour
- Easy mixing with no separate primer required for plate bonding
Technical Highlights
| Coverage | Consumption varies with plate width and adhesive bead profile; refer to the CarboDur method statement and TDS. |
| Strength | Compressive strength of approx. 85 N/mm2 at +25C and 90 N/mm2 at +55C (7 days); tensile strength around 15 to 25 N/mm2. |
| Performance | Tensile adhesion to concrete above 2.5 N/mm2 at 1 day with concrete failure, confirming a sound bond. |
| Application Conditions | For ambient and substrate temperatures of roughly +25C to +55C; pot life about 60 minutes at +25C and 30 minutes at +55C per 100 g. |
| Packaging | Supplied in 6 kg pre-batched units (Part A 4.5 kg, Part B 1.5 kg), mixed at a 3:1 ratio by weight. |
Applications
- Flexural and shear strengthening of bridge beams with CFRP plates
- Uprating industrial floor slabs and transfer beams for higher loads
- Seismic and load-upgrade retrofits of commercial building frames
- Steel plate bonding to concrete for repair of deteriorated members
- Strengthening of car-park, warehouse and parking-structure decks

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sikadur-30 LP IN used for?
It is a thixotropic epoxy adhesive used to bond Sika CarboDur CFRP plates and steel plates to concrete, brickwork, timber and steel for structural strengthening of beams, slabs and columns.
Why is it called the LP grade?
LP indicates a long pot life. The product is formulated for warm and hot conditions, with an ambient and substrate temperature range of roughly +25C to +55C, and gives a longer working time in heat.
How strong is the bond to concrete?
Tensile adhesion to concrete exceeds 2.5 N/mm2 within 1 day with failure occurring in the concrete itself, and 7-day compressive strength reaches about 85 to 90 N/mm2.
What is the pot life at high temperature?
Pot life is about 60 minutes per 100 g at +25C, reducing to around 30 minutes at +55C. Mix only what can be applied within the working time.
