Description
Araldite Two-Part Epoxy Adhesive delivers maximum strength bonding for a wide range of materials. The mixed product gels in 2 hours, achieves initial bonding within 6–8 hours, and reaches full strength after 3 days.
Features
- Chemical reaction of the two parts provides superior strength
- Bonds a wide variety of surfaces
- Dries clear for a clean finish
- Extremely strong and durable
- Highly water resistant – suitable for fixing tiles around pools (not below the waterline)
- Forms a rigid, long-lasting bond
- Fills small gaps – surfaces do not need to fit perfectly
- Excellent chemical and heat resistance
- Clamping recommended for a stronger bond
- Not suitable for Polypropylene or Polyethylene plastics
- Bond strength weakens above 80°C but recovers when cooled
Appearance

- Rigid plastic (except Polyethylene and Polypropylene)
- Crystal
- Leather
Directions for Use
- Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of grease, rust, and paint.
- For best results, roughen smooth surfaces after cleaning.
- Dispense equal parts of Part A and Part B onto a clean, disposable surface (e.g. polyethylene or cardboard).
- Mix thoroughly using a spatula, nail, or stick.
- Apply immediately to both surfaces and press together. Clamp for 6–8 hours while the bond sets.
- Remove excess adhesive and clean tools immediately.
- Replace the correct caps on each tube to prevent hardening.
Handy Tips
- Mix in small quantities for maximum working time – larger mixes cure faster.
- Replace caps immediately after use and wipe nozzles with acetone or nail polish remover.
- Do not swap caps between tubes – lids and tubes are colour coded.
- Uncured Araldite can be wiped off with acetone or nail polish remover.
- Once cured, remove mechanically by scraping or sanding – solvents will not dissolve it.
- To reposition a cured bond, heat gradually to 150°C (if the item is heat resistant), reposition, and allow to cool.
- For surface prep: use Selleys Liquid Sugar Soap on porous materials, or Methylated Spirits on non-porous surfaces. Use Selleys Kwik Strip Smart to remove tough residues if needed.
Safety
Tips Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing vapours. Do not use solvents near eyes or open wounds. Non-toxic once fully cured. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full details.
Storage & Reuse
Ensure caps are replaced tightly after use and store in a cool, dry place.
