| Pot Life (100 gm at 77°F) | - | - | 45 - 60 mins |
Araldite® 2055 is a two-component, cold-curing polyurethane structural adhesive specifically designed for gap-filling applications. It consists of:
- White resin (Component A)
- Beige-colored hardener (Component B)
With a flashpoint above 212°F (100°C), key features include:
- Excellent resistance to weathering and humidity
- Low shrinkage
- Suitable for bonding a wide range of metal and plastic substrates
- Long open time (45-60 minutes at 77°F)
Araldite® 2055 exhibits exceptional performance in demanding conditions:
- Cures at ambient temperatures with optimized pot life (45-60 minutes for 100g at 77°F)
- Lap shear strengths exceeding 1450 psi (10 MPa) after curing (ISO 4587 tested)
- Aluminum joints achieve average lap shear strength of 1784 psi when cured at 104°F (40°C)
- Robust resistance to thermal cycling (-22°F to 158°F for 100 cycles)
- Maintains strength after immersion in water, fuel, and acids (1784 psi after 90 days in water at 73°F)
Ideal for industries requiring strong, durable bonds with gap-filling capabilities:
- Automotive: Bonding metal components (body panels, chassis parts) to withstand vibrations and thermal cycles
- Aerospace: Assembling composite structures like carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) components
- Electronics: Bonding plastic enclosures (ABS, polycarbonate) for devices exposed to humidity and temperature fluctuations
- Construction: Structural joints in metal and plastic facades for long-term weather resistance
