Araldite 2031-1 Epoxy Paste Structural Adhesive - 380ml cartridge
Performance Specifications
- Two-component Epoxy Technology
- 60 mins Pot life at RT
- 3 hrs Fixture time at RT
- 10 mm Gap filling
- 100°C / 212°F Maximum continuous operating temperature*
- 23 MPa / 3,335 psi Tensile strength
- 1 000 MPa / 145,038 psi Tensile modulus
- ca. 12% Elongation at break
- * For the maximum continuous operating temperature, we consider the maximum temperature for which the residual lap shear strength is 1/3 of the lap shear strength at room temperature or the temperature for which the residual lap shear strength is 5 MPa.
Araldite® 2031-1 is a 1:1 mix ratio, black, toughened, thixotropic (non-slumping up to 10mm thickness) adhesive suitable for metal and composite bonding with good adhesion on Polyamides. It has low shrinkage characteristics and a high chemical resistance.
Embedded with spacers (glass beads) it retains it's integrity well, will not sag/gap or run, and has enhanced bond strength at larger bondlines. It is particularly suitable for GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastics) Polyamide and SMC (Sheet Molded Compounds) bonding.
The 380ml Cartridges are 1:1 ratio, and are designed to work best with a 380ml cartridge Dispenser with a 1:1 ratio plunger. We strongly advise you use a 380ml Dispenser WITH a 1:1 ratio plunger for this cartridges. If you do not have one, please check out our 1:1 ratio Dispensers, all are excellent products and have our 'it's good' seal of approval.
