This adhesive reportedly helps increase end-customer and employee satisfaction, especially in confined working environments, while delivering exceptional bond performance.
Huntsman has launched its ARALDITE® 2080 adhesive, a low-odor, non-flammable (according to CLP, flashpoint > 60°C), and primer-free structural acrylate adhesive that reportedly helps increase end-customer and employee satisfaction, especially in confined working environments, while delivering exceptional bond performance. Huntsman reports that the new adhesive solves many of the long-standing issues manufacturers have experienced when using traditional methyl methacrylate (MMA), polyurethane (PU), and other adhesive products.
For decades, manufacturers across the transportation, wind, and general assembly industries have used traditional MMA and PU-based adhesives for structural bonding applications, experiencing aggressive odors, flammability issues, high toxicity profiles, and added production time for surface preparation. Each of these issues can contribute to high operational costs and lower productivity, while factors such as toxicity and odor can be hazardous to worker health and wellbeing.
