Huntsman Advanced Materials introduces Araldite EP100 A/B epoxy adhesive. The two-part, thixotropic paste has a 2:1 mix ratio and low viscosity for easy handling.
The epoxy comes in a dual-barrel cartridge mixing kit, providing a waste-free application, and the structural adhesive cures at temperatures ranging from ambient to 212° F.
It does not require autoclave cycling and is reported to have high lap shear and good peel strengths once cured. The epoxy can maintain more than 90% of its shear strength after exposure to aviation fuels and hydraulic fluids, as well as 25% to 30% of its physical properties at temperatures up to 300° F.
