Brief Description

Hardman Epoweld 47020-53655 is a two-component, room temperature cure epoxy adhesive specifically engineered for high impact and strength applications. It offers excellent cohesive strength, pull-out strength, and torque resistance, making it ideal for demanding repairs and bonding of striking tools and golf club components.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Bonding golf club heads to shafts- Repairing striking tools such as hammers, axes, and sledgehammers- Bonding grinding wheel hubs- General-purpose adhesive and casting applications requiring high shock and impact resistance- Bonding metal doors and windows

Industries that Commonly Use It

- Automotive Service/Repair (for tool maintenance and repair)- Construction/Building Services (for repairing and assembling tools)- Fabrication (for strong, impact-resistant bonding of various materials)- General Manufacturing (for assembly and repair of high-impact components)- Industrial Supply (as a key adhesive product for diverse industrial needs)- Metal Fabrication (for bonding and repairing metal tools and components)- Government & Military (e.g., for wildland firefighting hand tools)

Special and Unique Features

- Slow-setting formulation provides an extended work time, allowing for precise positioning and assembly (approximately 90 minutes gel time)- Exhibits high impact and shock resistance, crucial for dynamic load applications- Offers excellent cohesive strength, pull-out strength, and torque resistance- Cures at room temperature, simplifying application without the need for heat curing- Classified as a toughened epoxy, providing a balance of high strength and flexibility to withstand repeated impacts- Maintains effectiveness across a wide range of temperatures

Comparison Note

Hardman Epoweld 47020-53655 stands out as a toughened epoxy, specifically formulated to provide both high strength and the necessary flexibility to absorb dynamic loads and impacts, which is critical for the longevity of striking tools and golf clubs. Its slow-setting characteristic offers a significant advantage by providing ample working time for precise assembly and repositioning, a feature often lacking in faster-setting epoxies that may become brittle under impact. This product has been an industry standard for golf club head to shaft bonding for over 30 years.
