Aerospace Adhesives
Araldite®
1570 FST A/B is an halogen-free two-component epoxy adhesive. It is
designed for aerospace applications which require flame retardant properties, its
first application being PE foam to phenolic GRP bonding in cargo areas.
Araldite®
1570 FST A/B is qualified to AIMS 10-04-006 and meets following FST
(Flame Smoke Toxicity) standards: FAR 25.853 (a), FAR 25.853 (a-1) and
AITM 3.0005.
Properties :
Two component epoxy adhesive.
- Flame retardant.
- Room temperature curing
.
Application :
The resin/hardener mix may be applied manually or robotically to the pretreated and
dry joint surfaces. Huntsman's technical support group can assist the user in the
selection of an suitable application method as well as suggest a variety of reputable
companies that manufacture and service adhesive dispensing equipment.
A layer of addhesive 0.05 to 0.10 mm thick will normally impart the greatest lap
shear strength to the joint. Huntsman stresses that proper adhesive joint design is
also critical for a durable bond. The joint components should be assembled and
secured in a fixed position as soon as the adhesive has been applied.
