Pretreatment
The strength and durability of a bonded joint are dependent on proper treatment of the surfaces to be
bonded. At the very least, joint surfaces should be cleaned with a good degreasing agent such as
acetone, iso-propanol (for plastics) or other proprietary degreasing agents in order to remove all traces
of oil, grease and dirt. Low-grade alcohol, gasoline, or paint thinners should never be used. The
strongest and most durable joints are obtained by either mechanically abrading or chemically etching
(“pickling”) the degreased surfaces. Abrading should be followed by a second degreasing treatment.

ARALDITE® 2022-1 structural adhesive is available in cartridges designed for use with disposable 18-
21 elements mixing nozzles and can be applied as a ready-to-use adhesive.

Application of adhesive
The resin/hardener mix may be applied manually or with an automated dispensing equipment to the
pretreated and dry joint surfaces. A 0.002 to 0.004 in (0.05 to 0.10 mm) thick adhesive layer will
normally impart the greatest lap shear strength to the joint. A proper adhesive joint design is also
critical for a durable bond. The joint components should be assembled and maintained in a secure
position as soon as the adhesive has been applied. For more detailed explanations regarding surface
preparation and pretreatment, adhesive joint design, and the dual syringe dispensing system, visit
www.araldite2000plus.com.

Equipment Maintenance
All tools should be cleaned with hot soapy water before the adhesive residue have had time to cure.
The removal of cured residue is a difficult and time-consuming operation. If solvents such as acetone
are used for cleaning, operators should take the appropriate precautions to avoid skin and eye contact.

Typical Physical Properties

Unless otherwise stated, the data were determined with typical production batches using standard test
methods. They are typical values only, and do not constitute a product specification.

The figures below were all determined by testing standard specimens made by lap-jointing 4.5 x 1.0 x
0.063 in (114 x 25 x 1.6 mm) strips. The bond area was 0.5 x 1.0 in (12.5 x 25 mm) in each case.

Storage
ARALDITE® 2022-1 may be stored for 24 months at 2°C to 8°C provided the components are stored in
the original sealed containers. The expiration date is indicated on the packaging.

The product may be placed at room temperature before use, the total time at room temperature should
not exceed 6 months. Long term exposure above 25°C will reduce the shelf life of the product.
