1. Product Overview

Araldite® 420 A/B is a two-component epoxy adhesive paste that cures at room temperature with the option of post-curing at elevated temperature to enhance performance. It is characterised by very high lap shear and peel strength, excellent toughness and resilience, and good moisture resistance. Designed for high-strength structural bonding, it is suitable for a wide range of materials including metals, composites, ceramics, and thermoplastics.


2. Applications

  • Bonding metals, composites, ceramics, and thermoplastics in industrial and structural applications.

  • Suitable for aerospace, automotive, and engineering industries requiring strong, durable adhesive joints.

  • Particularly effective where high shear and peel strength are required under varied environmental conditions.
