Plastic and metal engineering will be revolutionised by new adhesive range

The Araldite 2000 PLUS range of adhesives is the most comprehensive of its kind available, claims Hunstman, and it says the only product family to offer complete solutions based on three key chemistries - epoxy, methacrylate and polyurethane. The range aligns Huntsman's industrial adhesive offering more closely to the needs of the world's leading industrial designers. To construct the range, Huntsman has re-engineered products from its classic family of Araldite structural adhesives and has also added new solutions that were previously unavailable to the global adhesive market.

Araldite 2000 PLUS adhesives are lightweight and form long lasting durable bonds that are resistant to the most demanding conditions including high sheer and peel, compression, moisture and extreme temperature changes. The global Araldite 2000 PLUS portfolio comprises 14 products. Each product can improve the performance and longevity of the materials they bond and is individually suited for joining a wide variety of substrates including plastics, metals and composite materials. The new range is split into two main areas, dividing products for metal and plastic bonding, which makes it much easier to assess specific performance demands and ultimately find the best solution for customers.
