Description
Huntsman Araldite AW 8680/HW 8685 urethane adhesive is an Araldite 8680 two-part black polyurethane system for bonding plastics and prepared industrial substrates. It bonds polycarbonate, ABS, nylon, Telene, FRP, SMC, and painted metals where impact resistance and environmental stability matter.
Araldite 8680 Benefits
- Two-part polyurethane chemistry gives a flexible bond line compared with many rigid epoxy systems.
- Black mixed color suits dark plastics, composite parts, and assemblies where the bond line may show.
- Designed for plastics such as polycarbonate, ABS, nylon, and Telene with proper preparation.
- Useful on FRP, SMC, and painted metals when the joint needs impact and vibration resistance.
- Cartridge packaging supports controlled two-component dispensing with the correct static mixer.
This adhesive fits assembly and repair work where dissimilar materials expand, flex, or see handling shock. Clean surfaces, confirm compatibility on production materials, dispense through a fresh mixer, and fixture the parts until the bond can carry handling loads.
Common Applications for Araldite 8680
- Plastic-to-plastic bonding on housings, guards, covers, and molded parts.
- Composite and SMC repair where a urethane adhesive is preferred.
- Painted metal-to-plastic assemblies in transportation and specialty equipment.
- FRP, nylon, ABS, and polycarbonate joints that need a tougher bond line.
- Maintenance repairs where a cartridge system helps reduce hand-mix variation.
Compatible Materials and Process Notes
- Polycarbonate, ABS, nylon, Telene, FRP, SMC, and painted metals with proper preparation.
- Prepared bond surfaces that are clean, dry, and free of oil or loose coating.
- Two-part cartridge dispensing through a static mixer matched to the package.
- Parts that can be held in alignment while the polyurethane cure develops.
