Product Description
ARALDITE® AW 8595 / HARDENER HW 8595 Epoxy Adhesive System is a two-component epoxy adhesive system from Huntsman Advanced Materials designed for metal bonding and other structural bonding applications. The system combines ARALDITE® AW 8595 resin with HARDENER HW 8595 at a 1:1 mix ratio by volume, providing convenient processing and room-temperature cure capability. Typical mixed material properties include a 60-minute pot life at 25°C and a mixed viscosity of approximately 21,000 cP. After cure, the adhesive develops strong mechanical performance, including typical lap shear strength of 2,600 psi (17.9 MPa), Shore D hardness of 70, and tensile strength of 2,200 psi (15.1 MPa), making it suitable for evaluation in metal assembly and general industrial bonding applications.
Key features
- 1:1 mix ratio by volume: Supports straightforward mixing and application for industrial bonding processes.
- Room-temperature curing: Provides handling strength after approximately 4 hours at 25°C without elevated-temperature cure requirements.
- Strong cured mechanical properties: Develops typical lap shear strength of 2,600 psi (17.9 MPa) and Shore D hardness of 70 after full cure.
Applications / Suitable for
- Metal-to-metal bonding
- Industrial assembly applications
- General structural bonding of metal substrates
- Applications requiring room-temperature cure capability
