Araldite Standard Epoxy Adhesive is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require a high-strength, permanent bond for demanding repair projects. This two-part system provides an exceptional, long-lasting hold across a wide variety of materials, though it is important to note that its extended 80-minute working time requires patience as the adhesive cures slowly to reach maximum strength.

While the working time is 80 minutes, the adhesive usually requires several hours to reach initial handling strength and up to 24 hours for a full, permanent cure.
Yes, it is resistant to temperature extremes from -30°C to 80°C, making it suitable for many outdoor applications provided it is not constantly submerged in water.
No, Araldite Standard sets to a yellow finish, so it is best used in applications where the bond line will be hidden.
Wash the affected area immediately with warm soapy water. Do not use solvents on the skin.
Yes, once the adhesive is fully cured, it can be sanded and painted to match the surrounding material.
This is usually caused by incorrect mixing ratios. Ensure an equal length of resin and hardener is used and mixed thoroughly until the color is consistent.
Some plastics like polyethylene or polypropylene are difficult to bond with standard epoxy. Verify the material type; if it is a low-energy plastic, you may need a specialized primer.
To begin, squeeze equal lengths of resin and hardener from the twin tubes onto a clean, non-porous surface. Mix thoroughly until the mixture reaches a uniform yellow consistency. Apply the adhesive to one or both surfaces being joined, press them together, and clamp if necessary.
