The challenge
Bonding add-ons to composite internal structures in wind turbine blades traditionally required MMA or PU adhesives. The strong odor of MMA and the toxicity of PU created significant challenges for worker well-being and health.
The solution
Approved for this specific application, the ARALDITE® 2080 adhesive provides a highly versatile, low-odor and low-toxicity solution for bonding inside wind turbine blades.
With fast snap curing the adhesive enables fast processing while providing reliable long-term bonding to both metal and composite materials. Its exceptionally low odor helps create a safer and healthier working environment inside the blade.
The challenge
Bonding floors, roof parts, and panels on buses with MMA adhesives can be an unpleasant process for workers. The strong odor is particularly challenging in the confined spaces often found during vehicle assembly.
The solution
ARALDITE® 2080 adhesive enables reliable bonding of dissimilar substrates without the strong odor associated with MMA products.
Its limited surface pre-treatment and optimal open time help reduce production cycle times. With an elongation rate of more than 50%, the adhesive also delivers the flexibility needed for durable and reliable bonds in demanding bus applications..
