Processing Information
  • ARALDITE® 5864 A/B mix is applied with a spatula to the pre-treated and dry joint surfaces.
  • A layer of adhesive 0.002 to 0.004-inches (0.05 to 0.10-mm) thick will normally impart the greatest lap shear strength to a joint.
  • The joint components should be assembled and clamped as soon as the adhesive has been applied.
  • Even contact throughout suffices to ensure proper cure.

Typical Physical Properties
  • Unless otherwise stated, the data were determined with typical production batches using standard test methods.
  • They are typical values only, and do not constitute a product specification.
  • The values given below were all determined by testing standard specimens made up by lap-jointing 4-inch x 1-inch x 0.06-inch (10-cm x 2.5-cm x 1.5-mm) strips of aluminum, unless otherwise specified.
  • The joint area was 0.5 x 1 inch (12.5 mm x 2.5 cm) in each case.
