Product Description
ARALDITE 2023-10 A/B is a two-component, room-temperature-curing flexible methacrylate structural adhesive supplied as a thixotropic paste. Its open time is 10 minutes at room temperature, and the adhesive can fill gaps up to 30 mm. Cured performance includes 15.5 MPa lap shear strength under ISO 4587 at 23 deg C on sandblasted aluminum 5754 and 22 MPa tensile strength under ISO 527 at 23 deg C. The product is used for composite bonding in large structures and for industrial assembly and marine applications.
