ARALDITE LY5052

Main features

  • Low-Viscosity Composite Processing
  • Multiple Composite Process Routes
  • Tooling and Repair System Fit

Product Description

ARALDITE LY 5052 Epoxy Resin is a low-viscosity epoxy resin component for composite laminating and infusion systems used with ARADUR 5052 hardener. The resin supports wet lay-up, resin-transfer molding, pressure molding, filament winding, tooling, and composite repair within the specified two-part system. Its component role provides the resin base for controlled mix ratios and processing windows defined for the complete formulation. LY 5052 is sold separately, so cure behavior and final composite properties remain tied to ARADUR 5052, the selected ratio, the manufacturing process, and the stated cure schedule. This distinction keeps component handling separate from cured-system performance.

Key features

  • Low-viscosity resin processing: The LY 5052 component is specified for laminating and infusion workflows.
  • Multiple composite process routes: The complete system supports wet lay-up, RTM, pressure molding, and filament winding.
  • Tooling and repair system: LY 5052 with ARADUR 5052 is used for composite tooling and repair.

Applications

Wet lay-up, resin-transfer molding, pressure molding, filament winding, tooling, and composite repair within the LY 5052/ARADUR 5052 system.

Physical Properties
Viscosity
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
1000-1500 mPa.s
Thermal Properties
Flash Point
The flashpoint of a solvent is the lowest possible temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable vapor. Flashpoint is often confused with “autoignition temperature”, which is the temperature at which a solvent ignites without an ignition source.
