Features of ARALDITE 2080

• Low odour – with up to 90% less smell than alternative products, ARALDITE® 2080 adhesive helps to increase end-customer and employee satisfaction, especially in confined working environments.
• Non-flammable classification* – ARALDITE 2080 adhesive helps to minimize costs for safety training, storage, transportation, and equipment. In addition, it eliminates the need for the installation and maintenance of designated flammable storage areas. 
• No primer – ARALDITE 2080 adhesive does not need a primer for surface preparation, which halves production times and reduces costs, while providing the same bonding strength.
• Low toxicity profile – ARALDITE 2080 adhesive has an improved Globally Harmonized System (GHS) classification, which means users will save on personal protective equipment costs and other risk management measures.

Applications

For decades, manufacturers across the transportation, wind, and general assembly industries have used MMA and other traditional adhesives for structural bonding applications. While these products are effective solutions, they offer challenges in the form of high odour, flammability, high toxicity profiles, and surface preparation. 

ARALDITE 2080 adhesive from Huntsman solves these issues, while also providing high bond strength and elongation, better flowability, and faster cure times. Furthermore, the new adhesive helps to reduce costs with no need for primers or designated flammable storage areas, while requiring less need for protective equipment and extensive training.
