ARALDITE® LY 3585 / ARADUR® 5003-1

• The system exhibits excellent mechanical properties and good thermal resistance.
• Due to its high reactivity short cure cycles can be realized

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

Processing Guidelines

• We recommend that the components are weighed with an accurate balance to prevent 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 Araldite® LY 1564, Araldite® LY 3585 or Aradur® 5003-1 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.
• Araldite® LY 3585 which has crystallized and looks cloudy can be restored to its original state by heating to 60 - 80°C.
