Features & Benefits
- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Product Features
- Araldite® LY 1564 with Aradur® 917 and Accelerator 960-1 exhibits a low mix viscosity at room temperature in combination with a long pot life.
- Nevertheless very short cure cycles can be achieved at cure temperatures above 120 °C for an economical production.
- The system shows good fibre impregnation properties and is easy to process. The cured system has excellent mechanical properties.

- Processing Recommendation
- The temperature where gelation is being carried out should not be higher than necessary.
- A high gelation temperature induces shrinkage and generates internal stress within the part.

Safety & Health
- First Aid Information
- Contamination of the eyes by resin, hardener or mix should be treated immediately by flushing with clean, running water for 10 to 15 minutes.
- A doctor should then be consulted. Material smeared or splashed on the skin should be dabbed off, and the contaminated area then washed and treated with a cleansing cream (see above).
- A doctor should be consulted in the event of severe irritation or burns.
- Contaminated clothing should be changed immediately. Anyone taken ill after inhaling vapours should be moved out of doors immediately. In all cases of doubt call for medical assistance.
Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- Provided that Araldite® LY 1564, Aradur® 917 and Accelerator 960-1 are stored in a dry place in their original, properly closed containers at the storage temperatures mentioned in the MSDS they will have the shelf lives indicated on the labels.
- Partly emptied containers should be closed immediately after use. Because Aradur® 917 is sensitive to moisture, storage containers should be ventilated with dry air only.
