Huntsman Araldite EP 200 Flexible Thixotropic Gel 60-Min Set Time Epoxy adhesive

EP 200 A/B is an Aerospace-grade Flexible High-Strength Thixotropic Thic Gray Epoxy Gel adhesive. It is an advanced material that offers a service temperature from -67 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, and provides high peel and shear strength. It has good retention of strength after environmental aging and it has no SVHC as defined under REACH. The adhesive is well suited for bonding a wide variety of materials such as composites, metals and many other dissimilar substrates. High strength and flexibility of the material makes it well suited for aerospace and other demanding applications.

EP 200 AB is gray when mixed and cured. The specific gravity is 1.3 per ASTM D-891 and the viscosity at room temperature is a thixotropic paste per ASTM D-2196. Gel time of 100 gm of material at 25 degrees Celsius will be 100 to 105 minutes per test method ASTM D-2471. Mix ratio is 50 parts by weight of the resin to 50 parts by weight of the hardener. When using the recommended mix ratio under normal temperature conditions, EP 200 A/B will provide a working time of approximately 60 to 70 minutes.

EP 200 A/B can be spread with a spatula to the pretreated substrate joint. A layer of 0.004 to 0.012 inches thick is recommended to provide the maximum lap shear strength. Once the material is applied it needs to be clamped together. Even pressure throughout the joint will ensure optimum performance. EP 200 will take approximately 7 days at room temperature to fully cure.

Please Note:  These cartridges are designed to work best with a 50ml or 200ml cartridge Dispenser, respectively.  We advise you use a 50ml or 200ml Dispenser for all respective cartridges.  If you do not have one, please check out our Dispensers, all are excellent products and have our 'it's good' seal of approval.

If you prefer not to use a Dispenser, all 50ml cartridge orders we sell will come with one manual hand plunger, as pictured, that you can use for fast small jobs.  But the 200ml cartridges really need to use a 200ml Dispenser, they're just too big to easily use without the dispenser.
