Epoxy adhesive Spabond™ 445

for metaltwo-componentfor bonding

¬ High Tg, strength and toughness ¬ Excellent gap filling, low exotherm and low shrinkage properties ¬ Designed for cartridge and mixing machine dispense ¬ Two hardener speeds give a full range of working times / clamp times ¬ Hardeners compatible with Spabond™ 435 and Spabond™ 440 ¬ Optional black cured colour option is ideal for cosmetic carbon applications ¬ Lloyds Register Approved & DNV-GL certification pending ¬ Low Toxicity Hardener Formulations Spabond™ 445 is a toughened, high performance adhesive system ideal for bonding large structures where substrate surfaces have uneven geometry. Developed from the proven performance of its predecessors, whilst sharing the same hardener components as Spabond™ 435 and 440 to deliver a complete adhesive system. The product has a thick, paste-like consistency, and can be applied without sag in thicknesses of over 30mm at 15°C, making it ideal where large, uneven vertical gluelines are required. Available with a choice of two hardeners, improved cure progression chemistry eliminates the need for an extra-slow hardener. The unique formulation offers improved health & safety through the careful selection of low toxicity raw materials. The product has a 3:1 mix ratio by volume. To aid mixing, the hardener components are pigmented to give visual indication of mix quality. A black resin option is also available, which is useful for improving the cosmetic appearance of bondlines involving exposed carbon composites. Spabond™ 445 is available in cartridges and straight-sided pails & drums for machine mixing/dispense.
