Araldite® in your daily life

Recognized as the strongest and most durable adhesive in the consumer market, Araldite® adhesives can be used on a wide variety of repairs and can bond virtually anything to anything – including glass, ceramic, leather, wood, metal, masonry, most hard plastics, rubber and many more materials.

Long lasting and solvent free, Araldite® creates super strength, water resistant bonds

that can be painted or sanded. Available in tubes and easy-to-use syringe packs, the Araldite® DIY adhesive range is wide enough to meet all a consumer’s needs for repair and assembly. Araldite® adhesives are available in Europe from many retail outlets including DIY stores, hardware, hypermarkets, grocery outlets, trade stores and many others.

In 2012, Huntsman announces a reformulation and new environmentally-friendly packaging for the entire Araldite DIY range.

A new website was launched www.go-Araldite.com which features industry credentials of the brand as depicted in key case studies.

Araldite approved epoxy

Huntsman also offers a comprehensive range of Germanischer Lloyd (GL) approved Araldite® epoxy resin systems which meet stringent processing and performance requirements for wind blades manufacturing. 

Huntsman has adapted its resin systems for a range of processes, including wet lay-up, infusion and pre-impregnation (prepregs). 

Araldite in Automotive

The Araldite® range has a history as one of the most widely used adhesives in the automotive sector because of its structural stability and flexibility and its resilience to vibration. It was used on the car that Donald Campbell drove to break the 1960 world land speed record in the ‘Bluebird 3’.

Every car manufacturer is looking for new materials that will enable them to make lighter weight cars with improved safety features at a lower cost. In the last year Huntsman has developed resin systems suitable for out-of-autoclave processes such as high pressure resin transfer molding (HP-RTM) or compression moulding, meeting growing demand for shorter production cycles mainly for automotive mass production.

The successor to the Murciélago, the Aventador LP700-4, was unveiled in 2011 and is now gaining widespread recognition as an extremely important model, being the first flagship from Automobili Lamborghini SpA to feature a production carbon fibre chassis, made using an Araldite® resin system for Resin Transfer Molding (RTM).

While traditional composites used in the luxury sports car industry have typically utilised aerospace-derived prepreg materials for autoclave cure, out-of-autoclave processes are now believed to provide unparalleled efficiencies in terms of cost and production rate, while leaving performance and quality unaffected.  Among these processes, Lamborghini is focusing on liquid resin processes (VaRTM and RTM), oven-cure prepregs, preforming technologies (braiding, non-crimp fabrics and thermoforming), and advanced compression molding

Araldite and its applications

*In the 1960s, Donald Campbell set the world land speed record in his car, the ‘Bluebird’, whose fuselage was bonded together at Duxford, using Araldite® adhesives.

*Araldite® adhesive was chosen by the designers of the luxury motor cruiser, Neptys, who were looking for a glue to stand the stress of impact and vibrations at high speeds on the water

*Araldite® has played a major part in the development of new manufacturing methods for producing new economic types of clad pipes, the compound liner clad steel (CLC) pipe.

*The construction by Acciona of the world’s longest ever single beam composite bridge saw Araldite® being used in this mass structure over Manzaneres River in Madrid. 

*Recorders were attached to sea lions on the Galapagos Islands with Araldite® to study their dives down to 350 – 500 metres.
