Huntsman Araldite AW 2104 Epoxy Resin, 25 kg Pail

Description

Araldite AW 2104 is the resin side of a Huntsman two-component epoxy adhesive system used with Hardener HW 2934. The 25 kg pail supports production bonding work that needs a high-viscosity, room-temperature-curing adhesive for metals, ceramics, glass, rubber, rigid plastics, and common industrial materials.

Araldite AW 2104 Benefits

• Rapid room-temperature cure helps shorten fixture time compared with slower industrial epoxies.
• High-viscosity liquid consistency supports controlled placement on joints that need body and gap control.
• Low shrinkage helps reduce stress as the adhesive cures between prepared parts.
• Tough, resilient cured bond supports mixed-material assemblies exposed to handling and vibration.
• 25 kg pail packaging fits production cells, refill programs, and larger batch adhesive operations.

This resin is ordered when a shop already uses the AW 2104 and HW 2934 system or needs to match an approved Huntsman process. Confirm the hardener, mix ratio, dispensing method, and shelf-life requirements before release to production.

Araldite AW 2104 Applications

• Bonding metals, ceramics, glass, and rigid plastics in industrial assemblies.
• Rubber-to-rigid-substrate bonding where the approved process uses the matching hardener.
• Aerospace, transportation, and general manufacturing adhesive work.
• Manual or robotic application to pretreated, dry joint surfaces.
• Production bonding where a 0.05 to 0.10 mm adhesive layer is targeted for lap shear performance.

Surface Preparation And Use

Clean joint surfaces with an approved degreasing method before applying adhesive. Huntsman guidance notes that low grade alcohol, gasoline, and paint thinners should not be used for surface cleaning.

For stronger and more durable joints, mechanically abrade or chemically etch after degreasing, then degrease again. Assemble and secure parts soon after adhesive application so the bond line stays aligned during cure.

Technical Details And Documentation

Huntsman product information identifies the system as a two-component epoxy adhesive mixed 100:100 by weight or volume with Hardener HW 2934. Published data describes fast curing, good shear strength, high peel strength, high toughness, high viscosity, low shrinkage, and resilient performance. Review current manufacturer information from Huntsman before qualifying a bonding process.
