Main features

  • Multi-Material Epoxy Bonding
  • Long Adhesive Working Time
  • Electrically Insulating Epoxy

Product Description

ARALDITE® AW 106 Resin / Hardener HV 953U is a two-part, multi-purpose epoxy adhesive for bonding metals, ceramics, wood, vulcanized rubber, foams, and plastics. The viscous system has a 100:80 mix ratio by weight and a long working time for manual application by spatula or stiff brush, as well as mechanical mixing and coating equipment. It cures at temperatures from 20°C to 180°C and develops shear and peel strength for bonded assemblies exposed to static or dynamic loading. The cured adhesive is electrically insulating, supporting bonding applications where electrical isolation is also required.

Key features

  • Multi-material bonding: Suitable for metals, ceramics, wood, rubber, foams, and plastics.
  • Long working time: Provides a typical 2-hour pot life for a 4 fl oz mixed mass at 25°C.
  • Electrically insulating: Combines structural bonding performance with dielectric properties.

Applications / Suitable for

  • General-purpose assembly bonding
  • Metal, ceramic, and wood bonding
  • Plastic, foam, and vulcanized-rubber assemblies
  • Bonded assemblies requiring electrical insulation

Pot Life
Pot life is the amount of time it takes for the viscosity of a material to double (or quadruple for lower viscosity materials) in room temperature after a material is mixed. It is closely related to work life but it is not application dependent, less precise and more of a general indication of how fast a system is going to cure.

Thermal Properties
Glass Transition Temperature (Tg)
The glass transition temperature for organic adhesives is a temperature region where the polymers change from glassy and brittle to soft and rubbery. Increasing the temperature further continues the softening process as the viscosity drops too. Temperatures between the glass transition temperature and below the decomposition point of the adhesive are the best region for bonding. The glass-transition temperature Tg of a material characterizes the range of temperatures over which this glass transition occurs.
63 °C
Thermal Conductivity
Thermal conductivity describes the ability of a material to conduct heat. It is required by power packages in order to dissipate heat and maintain stable electrical performance. Thermal conductivity units are [W/(m K)] in the SI system and [Btu/(hr ft °F)] in the Imperial system.
0.22 W/m.K
Electrical Properties
Dielectric Strength
Dielectric strength is measured in kV per mm and is calculated by the Breakdown voltage divided by the thickness of the tested material. Those two properties go hand in hand and while Breakdown voltage is always thickness dependent, dielectric strength is a general material property. As an example, the dielectric strength of Polyimide is 236 kV/mm. If we place 1mm of Polyimide between two electrodes, it will act as an insulator until the voltage between the electrodes reaches 236 kV. At this point it will start acting as a good conductor, causing sparks, potential punctures and current flow.

Surface Resistivity

Volume Resistivity
Volume resistivity, also called volume resistance, bulk resistance or bulk resistivity is a thickness dependent measurement of the resistivity of a material perpendicular to the plane of the surface.

Mechanical Properties
Elongation
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.
