Product Description
ARALDITE® 2013-1 is a two-component, room-temperature-curing epoxy paste adhesive developed primarily for metal bonding and also suitable for ceramics, glass, rubbers, rigid plastics, and other commonly used materials. Its thixotropic, metal-colored paste supports vertical application and mixes at 100:60 by weight or 1:1 by volume. The mixed adhesive has a pot life of 80–90 minutes for a 100 g mass at 25°C, providing a practical assembly window. A 0.05–0.10 mm adhesive layer is recommended for greatest lap shear strength, with specified lap shear strength above 17 MPa at 23°C. The cured system combines high strength and toughness with documented environmental and chemical resistance.
Key features
- Vertical-application paste: Thixotropic rheology supports application on vertical joint surfaces.
- Controlled mixing and working time: Mixes 1:1 by volume and provides an 80–90 minute pot life for 100 g at 25°C.
- Documented strength and resistance: Specified lap shear strength exceeds 17 MPa at 23°C, with documented environmental and chemical resistance.
Applications / Suitable for
- Metal bonding
- Ceramic and glass bonding
- Rubber and rigid-plastic bonding
