Araldite^® Super Strength

Uses

The high strength achieved by Araldite Super Strength is ideal for tasks that require excellent strength and durability. Araldite Super Strength has excellent adhesion to a broad range of surfaces such as ceramics, glass, most rigid plastics, metals, most timber and fabric.

Technical Features

• Bonds a variety of surfaces in common use
• High shear and peel strength
• Dries Clear
• Very high water and weather resistance
• Forms a rigid, durable bond
• Gap filling
• Good chemical resistance
• Heat Resistant

Application Tips

For faster bond time or excellent clarity use Araldite Ultra Clear adhesive.

Heating the bond to between 40ºC and 100ºC while curing can increase the cure rate and final strength of Araldite Super Strength.

• Not suitable for bonding plastics such as Polypropylene and Polyethylene or for use on polystyrene
  Note: Polypropylene and polyethylene are used in many household articles, e.g. toys.

*To identify these plastics: Cut a sliver from an inconspicuous part. Hold with tweezers and burn sliver. Thermoplastics burn with a blue flame and emit an odour like a candle.

• Bond strength weakens above 100ºC but strength is regained when temperature drops
