ARALDITE® LY 5052 / ARADUR® 5052

• Low viscosity, easy impregnation of reinforcement materials.
• Long pot life (2 hours for 100 ml at ambient), ample processing time allows production of big objects.
• High temperature resistance (glass transition temperature) after ambient cure: 60 °C, after post-cure at 100:120 °C.
• Excellent mechanical and dynamic properties after ambient cure with potential for even higher properties after post-cure at elevated temperatures.
• Also laminates show outstanding mechanical and dynamic properties. This system is qualified by the Luftfahrtbundesamt (German Aircraft Authority) for the production of gliders.

Adequate skin protection is indispensable.

The values shown are for small amounts of pure resin/hardener mix. In practice, fiber content and laminate thickness may modify the gel time to a very significant extent. In composite structures the gel time can differ significantly from the given values depending on the fiber content and the laminate thickness.
