Product Information

To extend product life replace caps immediately after use. Ensure you wipe excess from nozzle with a tissue dipped in acetone (or nail polish remover) before replacing cap. H315 Causes skin irritation.H317 May cause an allergic skin reaction.H319 Causes serious eye irritation.H411 Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Highmark Manufacturing uses Araldite epoxy resin in the manufacture of advanced ballistic protection body armour. [6] The Araldite Rapid Steel Tubes is a strong, two-part general purpose adhesive, which provides a long-lasting bond for almost any material. It is ideal for projects like complicated, heavy-duty work on metals, wood, masonry, ceramics, glass, dry concrete, chipboard, leather, card, fabrics, rubber and many plastics.

It is claimed that after curing the bond is impervious to boiling water and to all common organic solvents. Reaction mass of 2,2'-[methylenebis(2,1-phenyleneoxymethylene)]bis(oxirane) and 2,2'[methylenebis(4,1-phenyleneoxymethylene)]bis(oxirane) and 2-({2-[4-(oxiran-2 ylmethoxy)benzyl]phenoxy}methyl)oxirane. Bonds most types of metal including steel, galvanised steel, cast iron, aluminium, iron, copper and brass. Will also bond non-metallic materials, such as ceramic, wood and glass. Schlösser Metallbau, a manufacturer of metal parts for railway carriages, uses Araldite epoxy resin to bond aluminium profiles of cab doorframes on the DBAG Class 423 Siemens Bombardier train.

The Araldite Standard Tubes is a strong, two-part general purpose adhesive, which provides a long-lasting bond for almost any material. It is ideal for projects like complicated, heavy-duty work on metals, wood, masonry, ceramics, glass, dry concrete, chipboard, leather, card, fabrics, rubber and many plastics. When using the tube variant, ensure you replace the correct cap on the correct tube. Placing the wrong cap on the wrong tube will cause the tube to harden.

Clean up uncured Araldite with acetone (nail polish remover). P261 Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/ spray.P264 Wash … thoroughly after handling.P273 Avoid release to the environment.P280 Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.P332 + P313 If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/ attention.P391 Collect spillage. Dispense equal parts of both liquids onto a clean disposable surface and mix both parts together thoroughly. Leave for 5-10 minutes and mix again before applying. The mixed glue will remain usable for 1 hours at 20°C.

It has a strong, long-lasting, solvent-free adhesive which is water-resistant and can be painted or sanded. Features & Benefits:Araldite is a registered trademark of Huntsman Advanced Materials (previously part of Ciba-Geigy) referring to their range of engineering and structural epoxy, acrylic, and polyurethane adhesives. Swiss manufacturers originally launched Araldite DIY adhesive products in 1946. The first batches of Araldite epoxy resins, for which the brand is best known, were made in Duxford, England in 1950. [1] Hayat, M. A. (2000). Principles and Techniques of Electron Microscopy: Biological Applications. Cambridge University Press. p.98. ISBN 0-521-63287-0. The use of Araldite adhesive in architecture to bond thin joints of pre-cast concrete units was pioneered by Ove Arup in Coventry cathedral and the Sydney Opera House. [4] At Coventry cathedral, Araldite adhesive was used to bond its columns and fins, while at Sydney Opera House, Araldite adhesive was used to bond the rib sections of the shells, since a traditional concrete joint would have slowed construction, as it would need 24 hours to cure before stressing. [5] De Trey Frères SA of Switzerland carried out the first production of epoxy resins. They licensed the process to Ciba AG in the early 1940s and Ciba first demonstrated a product under the tradename "Araldite" at the Swiss Industries Fair in 1945. Ciba went on to become [ when?] one of the three major epoxy-resin producers worldwide. Ciba's epoxy business was spun off and later sold in the late 1990s and became the advanced materials business unit of Huntsman Corporation of the US. [3] Notable applications [ edit ]

Araldite adhesive sets by the interaction of an epoxy resin with a hardener. Mixing an epoxy resin and hardener together starts a chemical reaction that produces heat - an exothermic reaction. [2] Do not apply undue strain to bond for 6-8 hours. Hold join in place using tapes or weights if necessary. Maximum strength reached after 24-72 hours. To remove product after cure, mechanical action (scraping or sanding) is recommended. Since the product is chemically resistant solvent will NOT dissolve this product.Aero Research Limited (ARL), founded in the UK in 1934, developed a new synthetic-resin adhesive for bonding metals, glass, porcelain, china and other materials. The name "Araldite" recalls the ARL brand: ARaLdite. For maximum working time, mix in small quantities. Large quantities accelerate the curing process and reduce working time. Armour uses Araldite".
