Araldite HW 8595 Hardener for AW 8595 Epoxy, 35 lb

Description

The Araldite HW 8595 hardener is the Part B component that cures with AW 8595 resin to form a tough, flexible two-part epoxy. Mixed 1:1 with the resin, it builds a bond that holds on metals, including lightly oiled surfaces that defeat many structural adhesives. The 35 lb container suits production lines and shops that run the AW 8595 system in volume.

Where the Araldite HW 8595 hardener is used

The cured system bonds steel, aluminum, and dissimilar metals in automotive, appliance, and general manufacturing assembly. Its flexibility absorbs peel and impact loads better than a rigid epoxy, so it holds on panels and joints that flex or see vibration. Good gap-filling lets it bridge uneven fit-up, and a working time near 100 minutes at room temperature leaves room to position larger parts before cure.

How the Araldite HW 8595 hardener handles

Hardener viscosity runs near 25,000 cP, so it pumps and meters predictably in two-part equipment. Sealed in its original container between roughly 2 and 40 degrees C, the system carries about a three-year shelf life. Pair this hardener only with AW 8595 resin and hold the specified ratio to reach full mechanical properties. Warm storage shortens the usable window, so keep stock in a cool, dry area and let cold material warm to room temperature before dispensing for a smooth, even flow.
