3 min read

When you think of industrial-grade adhesives, chances are the first brand to come to your mind is Araldite. If you have ever needed to stick something together permanently, one of the best glues on the market is Araldite. It is versatile, immensely strong, and commonly found in most stationery and hardware stores. For years now, Araldite has been the go-to household adhesive, and its popularity has only increased with time. In order to understand what makes Araldite special, we need to break it down and take into consideration some of its key features.

Araldite 2013 Features 

Araldite 2013 is a two-part epoxy gel adhesive that is very strong and can last a long time. This semi-clear liquid epoxy cures at room temperature and its thixotropic (thick gel) can easily be used to fill small holes, cracks, and crevices. This adhesive can be used to seal a wide variety of materials and products with each other, such as different metals, ceramic objects, glass, rubber, plastic materials, normal everyday household items, and even home project items.

Araldite works exceptionally well in bonding two different types of materials together as well. This adhesive epoxy contains chemical etch-ants that give it the capability to strongly bond PTFE/Teflon. Araldite is usually found on the market in two components, which, when mixed with the other, creates a bonding chemical that starts holing within thirty minutes. Araldite can withstand temperatures up to 284°F (140°C). The standard work time for Araldite 2013 is 60 minutes, with a handling strength of 2 hours.

You can find many different variants of Araldite on websites online that have different types of cartridges, different uses, and even different quantities. You can choose a 50ml cartridge, a 50 ml cartridge with a hand plunger, an entire 50ml dispenser kit, a 200 ml cartridge, and even a 50ml caulk-gun adapter kit. It is important to note that with this type of epoxy, you need to be careful not to get any of the mixture on your fingers as it can stick them together.
