Huntsman Araldite 2085 Acrylic Structural Adhesive

Description

Araldite 2085 is a two-component, room-temperature curing methacrylate adhesive built for rapid assembly work across a wide range of substrates. It reaches high peel strength fast, bonds plastics, composites, and metals without a primer step on most substrates, and holds up in service at temperatures up to 212 degrees F (100 degrees C), which covers most industrial assembly and structural bonding applications. Its room-temperature cure means no oven or heat lamp step, which keeps it in production lines that need a structural joint without adding a cure-oven bottleneck. The same properties that make it fast to handle also make it forgiving of minor gap variation between mating parts, a common issue with molded plastic components.

Where Araldite 2085 Structural Adhesive Is Used

• Rapid assembly operations where the line can’t wait on a slow-cure epoxy to reach handling strength
• Bonding dissimilar substrates, including plastics and composites to metal, in general industrial fabrication
• Structural joints that need high peel strength rather than pure shear strength
• High-volume production runs where a room-temperature cure keeps throughput up without added curing equipment

Araldite 2085 Specifications

Match cartridge size to your dispensing equipment before ordering. The 50ml and 400ml cartridges run through standard two-component guns with the correct static mixing nozzle, while the 396lb size suits high-volume production lines running metered dispense equipment. Substrate prep still matters even on a general-purpose methacrylate. Clean, degrease, and lightly abrade glossy plastics before bonding for the best peel results.
