ARALDITE AV4600
Harmonization Code : 3403.19 | Lubricating Preparations (With 70% or More Petroleum Oils) For Automotive and Other Uses
Main features
- One-Component Heat-Cure Epoxy
- Thixotropic Gap-Filling Paste
- High Peel Strength
Product Description
ARALDITE AV 4600 is a one-component, thixotropic epoxy paste adhesive for multipurpose structural bonding, especially metals. It cures with heat in the 150 to 200 deg C range and combines gap-filling capability with impact resistance, high peel strength, and chemical resistance.
Key features
- Heat-cure one-component format: One-part epoxy paste is activated by heat, with cure identified in the 150 to 200 deg C range.
- Thixotropic gap filling: Paste rheology and exact-grade positioning include gap-filling capability for structural adhesive application.
- Impact, peel and chemical performance: The grade combines impact resistance, high peel strength, and chemical resistance.
Applications
Multipurpose metal bonding and other structural adhesive applications.

Specific Gravity
ca. 1.2
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume.
For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.
Physical Properties
Viscosity
Thixotropic paste mPa.s
Viscosity is a measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow.
Viscosity is commonly measured in centiPoise (cP). One cP is defined as
the viscosity of water and all other viscosities are derived from this base. MPa is another common unit with a 1:1 conversion to cP.
A product like honey would have a much higher viscosity -around 10,000 cPs-
compared to water. As a result, honey would flow much slower out of a tipped glass than
water would.
The viscosity of a material can be decreased with an increase in temperature in
order to better suit an application
Mechanical Properties
Elongation
5 %
Elongation is the process of lengthening something.
It is a percentage that measures the initial, unstressed, length compared to the length of the material right before it breaks.
It is commonly referred to as Ultimate Elongation or Tensile Elongation at break.
