HUNTSMAN Advanced Materials is a leading global material solutions provider with a product portfolio of adhesives, composites and formulation products meeting demanding engineering specifications and customer-specific needs across a wide variety of industrial and consumer applications.
HUNTSMAN 5052 Cold Curing Epoxy System includes Araldite® LY 5052 low-viscosity epoxy resin and Aradur® 5052 hardener (mixture of polyamines) which is sold separately. The Araldite® LY 5052 /Aradur® 5052 system is intended for use in a wide range of applications including aerospace and industrial composites, tooling and aircraft repair. Both Araldite® LY 5052 epoxy resin and Aradur® 5052 hardener are offered in different packaging options as well as bundle packages.
Key features and properties include:
- Low viscosity, easy impregnation of reinforcement materials,
- Long pot life (2 hours for 100 ml at ambient), ample processing time allowing production of big objects,
- High temperature resistance (glass transition temperature) after ambient cure: 60 °C, after post-cure at 100:120 °C,
- Excellent mechanical and dynamic properties after ambient cure with potential for even higher properties after post-cure at elevated temperatures,
- Laminates showing outstanding mechanical and dynamic properties. The system is qualified by the Luftfahrtbundesamt (German Aircraft Authority) for the production of gliders.
Their use requires adequate skin protection (please refer to the attached MSDS).
