Huntsman Araldite EP 200 A/B Flexible Epoxy Cartridge Adhesive

Description

Araldite EP 200 A/B is a two-component flexible epoxy structural adhesive for cartridge dispensing in aerospace, transportation, electronics, and general manufacturing work. It is built for metal, composite, and mixed-material assemblies that need a thixotropic paste, longer work time, and service exposure up to 200 F.

Araldite EP 200 Benefits

• Flexible epoxy chemistry helps bonded joints handle movement, vibration, and mixed substrates.
• 60 to 70 minute working time gives crews more open time for larger parts and fixture setup.
• Thixotropic paste stays where it is placed on vertical seams, edges, and gap-filling joints.
• Room-temperature cure supports production benches without a required oven cycle.
• Cartridge format keeps ratio control cleaner than hand weighing on small and mid-size jobs.

This system fits shops that need controlled dispensing and a bond line with more flex than a rigid epoxy. Use it on prepared metals, composites, and compatible plastics after confirming the adhesive with the part geometry and service conditions.

Araldite EP 200 Applications

• Aerospace interior and secondary bonding work where flexible epoxy behavior is specified.
• Composite brackets, panels, covers, and repairs that need paste placement.
• Metal-to-composite assemblies exposed to vibration or thermal movement.
• Electronics housings, potting-related fixtures, and mixed-material hardware.
• Maintenance repairs where a longer work window helps alignment before cure.

Surface Preparation And Cartridge Setup

Clean both bond surfaces until they are dry and free of oil, release agent, sanding dust, and loose oxidation. For metals and composites, abrade where the process allows, then solvent wipe with an approved cleaner and allow the surface to flash dry before dispensing.

Install the cartridge in the correct dispenser, attach the recommended mixer, and purge until both components flow evenly and the bead is uniform. Do not use the first unmixed material on the part.

Technical Details And Documentation
