Frequently Asked Questions
What gun does the 50ml Araldite 2012 cartridge use?
It uses a 50ml gun set up for a 1:1 mix ratio. Catalog pairings include the Chem-Set PAK-50 and Medmix DMA 51 manual guns and Medmix pneumatic dispensers, all listed above. Call us if you want to confirm fit with your gun before you order.
What mixer does the 50ml Araldite 2012 cartridge use?
Huntsman lists the Araldite 2000 Plus Mixer for its 50ml cartridges, sold in a 50 pack. The static mixer meters the 1:1 ratio as you dispense, so the cartridge needs a mixer fitted before use. The Nordson TAH 295 bayonet mixer is a catalog pairing if you already run it.
What if I need more working time than the 50ml Araldite 2012 gives?
Pot life is only 5 to 8 minutes, so prep the surfaces and stage the parts before you dispense. If you need more time to position parts, Araldite 2011 has a pot life of about 100 minutes. Call us if you are not sure which grade fits your joint.
Is the 50ml cartridge the same adhesive as the 200ml cartridge and the 2kg kit?
Yes. All three sizes are Araldite 2012 A/B. The package changes, but the adhesive does not. The Araldite 2012 A/B composite page has the lap shear data and full specifications for every size.
