| Specific gravity | 1.2 | 1.6 | 1.4 |
| Viscosity at 77°F (cP) | thixotropic | Appr. 18,000 | thixotropic |
| Pot Life (100 gm at 77°F) | - | - | 45 - 60 mins |
Araldite® 2055 is a two-component, cold-curing polyurethane structural adhesive specifically designed for gap-filling applications. It consists of a white resin (Component A) and a beige-colored hardener (Component B), with a flashpoint above 212°F (100°C). Key features include excellent resistance to weathering and humidity, low shrinkage, and suitability for bonding a wide range of metal and plastic substrates. This adhesive is ideal for industrial use where durability and long open time (45-60 minutes at 77°F) are critical.
Building on the basic properties, Araldite® 2055 exhibits exceptional performance in demanding conditions. It cures at ambient temperatures, with pot life optimized for precise application (e.g., 45-60 minutes for 100g at 77°F). Key strength data includes lap shear strengths exceeding 1450 psi (10 MPa) after curing, as validated by ISO 4587 testing. For instance, aluminum joints achieve an average lap shear strength of 1784 psi when cured at 104°F (40°C) and tested at 73°F (23°C). The adhesive also shows robust resistance to environmental factors, such as thermal cycling (100 cycles from -22°F to 158°F) and immersion in chemicals like water, fuel, and acids, with strength retention demonstrated in long-term tests (e.g., 1784 psi as-made value maintained after 90 days in water at 73°F).
Araldite® 2055 is widely used in industries requiring strong, durable bonds with gap-filling capabilities, based on verified data from Huntsman Advanced Materials and external sources. Common applications include automotive manufacturing for bonding metal components (e.g., body panels and chassis parts) to withstand vibrations and thermal cycles, as well as in aerospace for assembling composite structures like carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) components. In electronics, it bonds plastic enclosures (e.g., ABS and polycarbonate) for devices exposed to humidity and temperature fluctuations. Construction sectors utilize it for structural joints in metal and plastic facades, ensuring long-term weather resistance. These scenarios leverage the adhesive's properties such as long open time for precision assembly and resistance to environmental stressors.
