1. Product Overview

Araldite® AV 4600 is a one-component, heat-curing, thixotropic epoxy paste adhesive characterized by exceptional impact resistance (down to –40 °C), high peel strength, and chemical resistance. It cures between 150–200 °C, is gap-filling up to 3 mm, and remains stable under heat up to 120 °C. Designed for tough structural bonding, it eliminates the need for mixing and ensures reliable performance under demanding conditions.


2. Applications

  • Structural bonding of metals and a wide variety of other rigid substrates.

  • Suitable for transportation, aerospace, and industrial applications requiring impact and peel resistance.

  • Joints subject to dynamic loading, vibration, and subzero conditions.

  • Gap filling for assemblies with irregular joint surfaces.
