ARALDITE®2053 adhesive ensures durable, reliable bonding – even in the harshest conditions.
The resulting bond resists aging and fatigue, with an elongation rate of more than 50% and a high resistance to hot and wet environments.
By distributing stress uniformly over bonded areas, ARALDITE®2053 adhesive helps maintain physical integrity while enabling lightweight design.
Application example
Bonding primary and secondary train structures
Find new possibilities for bonding metallic and composite structures in lightweight designs.
The challenge
Bonding of dissimilar substrates of primary and secondary structures in rail coach construction.
The solution
Formulated to create durable bonds for a wide variety of surfaces, the ARALDITE® 2053 adhesive is perfectly suited for this application.
The adhesive’s load distribution allows for the use of lower-weight panels in rail coach construction with unchanged mechanical properties, which leads to improved energy efficiency.
Application example
Bonding boat fittings
Ensure reliable performance of bonded parts in tough conditions.
The challenge
Reliable bonding of safety fittings that are exposed to the most challenging environmental conditions.
The solution
ARALDITE® 2053 adhesive is highly resistant to hot and wet environments, which ensures long-lasting, reliable bonds on safety-critical components. This adhesive retains more than 85% of performance qualities even after being continuously immersed in water at 70°C. ARALDITE® 2053 cartridges are designed to protect against performance degradation in harsh conditions, making this the perfect adhesive for on-the-go applications.
