Huntsman Araldite® AV 138 M-2 – Two-component epoxy adhesive

Araldite® AV 138 M-2 is a two-component epoxy adhesive formulated for durable bonds under extreme conditions.

Description

Huntsman Advanced Materials’ Araldite® AV 138 M-2 adhesive is designed for industrial applications requiring robust bonds that withstand high temperatures and harsh environments. Its two-component, BPA-free, CMR-free epoxy formulation ensures operator safety and regulatory compliance. Thanks to its high chemical, thermal, and mechanical resistance, it is ideal for bonding dissimilar materials (metals, ceramics, and rigid plastics). Its thixotropic properties and gap-filling capacity (up to 5 mm) facilitate application on large components or complex geometries.
