ARALDITE® LY 3505 / ARADUR® 5003-1

• The system exhibits excellent mechanical properties and good thermal resistance.
• High reactivity enables short cure cycles to be used.
• System achieves good properties with ambient temperature curing.

• Wet lay-up
• Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM)
• Pressure moulding

• 7 days 23°C
• 30 min 80 °C
• or 30 min 80 °C + 30 min 100 °C
• or 30 min 80 °C + 30 min 120 °C

• mixing inaccuracies which can affect the properties of the matrix system. The components should be mixed thoroughly to ensure homogeneity.
• It is important that the side and the bottom of the vessel are incorporated into the mixing process.
• When processing large quantities of mixture, the pot life will decrease due to exothermic reaction. It is advisable to divide large mixes into several smaller containers.

• 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.

• Provided that the products are stored in a dry place in their original, closed containers, the following shelf lives apply:
• ARALDITE® LY 3505 - 6 years from date of manufacture at 2 - 40°C
• ARADUR® 5003-1 – 12 months from date of manufacture at 2 - 40°C Expiry dates are indicated on the product packaging labels.
