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.
