Huntsman Araldite AV 170 GB One-Component Epoxy Adhesive, 1 kg

Description

Araldite AV 170 GB is a one-component, heat-curing epoxy paste for high-strength bonding of metals, heat-resistant plastics, and other prepared materials. The 1 kg package suits controlled production work where the adhesive can be applied, fixtured, and cured at controlled high temperature.

Araldite AV 170 Benefits

• One-component format removes mix-ratio checks and pot-life pressure from the bench.
• Thixotropic paste helps bridge gaps up to 3 mm without running out of the joint.
• Heat cure at 140 to 180 C supports strong, repeatable bonds in controlled production.
• Resilient cured adhesive gives useful peel strength on compatible assemblies.
• Good chemical resistance and service heat resistance to 120 C fit demanding shop environments.

This adhesive is a fit when the process can include heat cure and the bonded parts need strength, toughness, and paste placement. It is commonly considered for metal assemblies, temperature-resistant plastics, and mixed-material parts that can tolerate the cure schedule.

Araldite AV 170 Applications

• Metal-to-metal bonding where an oven or heat fixture is already part of production.
• Heat-resistant plastic assemblies that need a controlled epoxy bond line.
• Rail, transportation, and industrial parts exposed to vibration or heat.
• Gap-filling adhesive placement on formed, stamped, or machined parts.
• Shop repairs where a one-part epoxy simplifies setup before heat cure.

Surface Preparation And Cure Planning

Remove oil, grease, dust, release agent, and oxidation from the bond area before applying adhesive. Abrade metals and hard plastics where the drawing or customer specification allows, then clean again so loose grit does not stay in the joint.

Apply an even bead or film, close the joint, and fixture the parts before moving into the heat cycle. Confirm that the assembly can tolerate the selected cure temperature before production release.

Technical Details And Documentation

Published references describe this grade as a thixotropic, resilient, one-component epoxy adhesive with high mechanical strength, cure at 140 to 180 C, heat resistance to 120 C, and gap filling to 3 mm. Review current product-family information from Huntsman before setting a cure schedule.
