Description
ARALDITE 2053 adhesive ensures durable, reliable bonding for most common substrates even in the harshest conditions. The resulting bond resists aging and fatigue, with an elongation rate of more than 50% and a high resistance to hot and wet environments. By distributing stress uniformly over bonded areas, ARALDITE 2053 adhesive helps maintain physical integrity while enabling lightweight design. With an optimal open time, and virtually no need for pre-treatment, you can achieve faster production cycles and increased throughout. This all-in-one solution can also help you simplify your inventory and processes, including worker training.
