High-Performance Structural Adhesive

Aerok® 8020

Aerok 8020 is a high-performance structural epoxy adhesive. It has very high strength and is impact-toughened. Aerok 8020 is ideal for applications that require a very high-strength structural adhesive to withstand light impact and small vibrations.

• Very High Tensile Strength

• Good Chemical and Weathering Resistance

• Impact Toughened

Datasheet

Cartridge

Overview

Aerok 8020 delivers very high strength in the realm of epoxy adhesives. Compatible with metals, plastics, and composites, this adhesive ensures robust bonding across a wide spectrum of materials. A notable attribute is its fast strength build-up, reaching handling strength in a span of 3 hours. Its formula also exhibits good resistance to chemicals and environmental factors. It's worth highlighting the need for careful handling, as skin sensitization can occur in certain individuals.

How to use

Application temperature:

Should be between 5°C and 30°C. Higher or lower temperatures can impact cure speed and adhesive performance.

Surface Preparation:

It's essential to clean substrates before application. Aerok 8020 will often require abrasion to maximize performance.

Application:

Make sure to follow the proper instructions before using Aerok 8020 as it is a two-component adhesive. Watch the 'How-To' video in the media section below.

Its very high strength and impact toughening make it unique, ensuring optimal performance in demanding structural applications.

Aerok 8020 can be put into light operation after 3 hours. Full cure can take up to 24 hours.

Surface preparation can significantly influence bond performance. Generally, clean, dry, and slightly abraded surfaces ensure optimal adhesion. You will not need to use a specialist primer or surface preparation method unless you are bonding LSE plastics or materials that have low surface energy.

The adhesive exhibits good chemical resistance. However, for applications involving prolonged exposure to specific chemicals, it's recommended to conduct a compatibility test.

Aerok 8020 effectively bonds most metals, plastics, and composite materials. It will not bond to LSE plastics like PP, PE, or PTFE as well as galv. steel and powder-coated materials unless you have used a specialist surface preparation method.
