ARADUR® 224

In combination with suitable resins Aradur 224 shows the following properties:

• Very long pot life
• Flexible coatings
• Good mechanical properties when force cured (2 h at 60 - 80°C)
• Formulated according regulations for food and potable water contact

Aradur 224 has to be combined with fast curing hardeners or to be forece cured to achieve epoxy typical film properties.

Aradur 224 is suitable in combination with liquid epoxy resins such as Araldite GY 250, BY 157 and BY 158 for cold-curing and force curing coatings and adhesives in potable water and food contact applications.

The optimum mix ratio for Araldite GY 250 and Aradur 224 is 100:50 to 100:90 parts by weight, if Aradur 224 in combination with a more reactive hardener is cured under ambient temperatures. In case Aradur 224 is used alone in force cure applications, the prefered mixing ratio with Araldite GY 250 is 100:50 to 100:60 parts by weight resin : hardener. We recommend to check the optimum mixing ratio by practical trials for each type of application.

Aradur 224 should be stored in a dry place, preferably in the sealed original container, at temperatures between 2 and 40°C. The product should not be stored exposed to direct sunlight.
