Is a leading global systems of synthetic polymers formulated for customers who require high-performance materials that exceed by far the properties, functionality and durability of traditional materials supplier. Structural bonding techniques Huntsman Araldite ® epoxy adhesives, occupy a key position in the engineering industry. More and more engineers in their own struggle against the clock to develop and market lighter and more durable products, resort to industrial adhesives of Huntsman Araldite to address complex design problems. The security afforded by its 60 years of experience as a pioneer in the technology of epoxy adhesives and industrial adhesives, Huntsman has developed a complete range of adhesives to meet the new challenges of engineering. This range based on three chemicals (epoxy, polyurethane and methacrylate), provides a superior grip and adhesion to plastics, metals and composites under the trade name Araldite®.
Acrylic (PMMA – polymethyl methacrylate) is a transparent, thermoplastic that is commonly known as Plexiglas®. Thermoplastics like Acrylic can be heated to their melting point, cooled and reheated without substantial degradation. This allows them to be easily injection moulded. PMMA has high strength, stiffness, optical clarity and resistance to UV and weathering. These properties make … Read moreWhat is the best adhesive for bonding Acrylic?
Acetal (Polyoxymethylene) is a strong and rigid thermoplastic that has good moisture, heat and chemical resistance. It is commonly used in industries as a replacement for metals, due to its lightweight, low cost and good structural properties. The two basic types of acetal resins are Acetal Copolymer (Celcon®), and Acetal Homopolymer (Delrin®). Acetal Homopolymer offers … Read moreWhat is the best adhesive for bonding Acetal?
Huntsman Advanced Materials have launched two new MMA adhesives; Araldite 2050 and Araldite 2051. Araldite 2050 and Araldite 2051 are rapid curing MMA adhesives designed to speed up bonding operations under cold temperatures, under water, saltwater and humidity. Araldite 2050 can cure at extremely low temperatures from -20°C and Araldite 2051 can cure at temperatures … Read moreIntroducing Araldite 2050 & 2051

Polyurethane, also known as PU is a polymer made from combining an organic compound unit with carbamate (urethane). PU is available in different forms; rigid solid, foam or soft elastomer, making it an extremely versatile material for a range of end-user applications. Some uses include roof insulation, insulated panels, windows and doors in construction (rigid … Read moreWhat are the best adhesives for bonding polyurethane?
Araldite 2015-1 is a thixotropic, gap-filling, two component epoxy adhesive which provides a strong and resilient bond on composites (GRP/SMC, CFRP), metals, wood, ceramic and glass. This adhesive has excellent weather resistance making it suitable for external applications in rail, marine, transportation and aerospace where parts are exposed to the environment. Whilst the high shear … Read moreHuntsman New Product – Araldite 2015-1
Whilst in operation, wind turbines are prone to damage from external forces. The rotor blades on a wind turbine require regular inspection and maintenance to keep them in good condition. Most rotor blades are constructed from glass fibre however a growing number of blades are using a hybrid of glass and carbon fibre to improve … Read moreSolutions for repairing wind turbine blades
