AL90 twin-pack aluminium adhesive

Introduction

AL90 twin-pack aluminium adhesive is a two-part, epoxy-based product containing aluminium powder. The metal-containing formulation of this adhesive makes it suitable for applications that require gap filling, surface repairs and strong adhesion to metals (especially aluminium).

The very thick consistency of this product after mixing allows easy and precise use on all kinds of metal surfaces (horizontal and vertical).

Once fully dry, this product forms a hard, uniform surface, without shrinkage or cracking, that can be machined, turned, milled and painted, and that is resistant to moisture, heat, vibration and many common chemicals. Its suitable working time also allows easy application for technical, industrial and repair users, and in some applications it can be a suitable substitute for surface welding or soldering in localised repairs.

Applications

AL90 twin-pack aluminium adhesive has wide application in projects and localised repairs in industrial, workshop and technical environments, including:

• Repair and restoration of metal parts that require a strong, resistant bond.
• Filling joints, gaps and surface irregularities in aluminium structures and parts.
• Rebuilding damaged surfaces to create a uniform surface ready for finishing processes.
• Carrying out industrial repairs in moisture and heat conditions (within the product's defined range of use).
• Creating suitable adhesion and strength against vibration for repairs of equipment and parts.
• Use as a practical solution, in some cases, instead of welding or soldering in localised repairs.
• Preparing the surface for painting thanks to its paintability after drying.

If your project needs a material with high strength, filling ability and the possibility of shaping after drying, AL90 twin-pack aluminium adhesive can be one of the suitable options for metal repairs.

Main features

1. Ghaffari-brand AL90 adhesive; two-part, epoxy-based:

The formulation of this product is two-part and epoxy-based, and it is designed for bonding and repair.

2. Contains aluminium powder:

The aluminium powder in the structure of this adhesive makes it more suitable for applications that require gap filling and repair of metal surfaces.

3. Very thick, non-sagging consistency:

After mixing, AL90 twin-pack aluminium adhesive takes on a very thick consistency so that the user can apply it to the surface with more precision and control.

4. Strong adhesion to metals (especially aluminium):

This product is designed for repair applications on metals, and its performance on aluminium surfaces has been given particular attention.

5. Forms a hard, uniform surface after drying:

After full drying, a hard, uniform surface is formed.

6. Can be machined, turned and milled:

One of the strengths of AL90 twin-pack aluminium adhesive is that, once it has reached its final strength, it allows mechanical operations such as machining, turning and milling.

7. Paintable:

The paintability of the final surface means your project can be finished in the colour you want.

8. Resistance to moisture, heat, vibration and many common chemicals:

After full drying, AL90 twin-pack aluminium adhesive provides suitable resistance in various conditions.

9. Suitable working time:

The working time of this product allows you to carry out technical and repair work step by step and without rushing.

Directions for use

1. The surfaces must be completely dry, clean and free of oil, dust and rust. (Use solvents such as alcohol or petrol for this.)
2. For metals and smooth surfaces, roughening with sandpaper or a wire brush is recommended.
3. Dispense equal amounts of resin and hardener and mix them on a clean surface. Mixing must be done carefully for at least 30 seconds to 1 minute to obtain a uniform reaction.
4. Within less than 20 minutes, apply the adhesive to the desired surface and join the parts together.
5. Hold the parts in place for 1:30 to 2 hours so that the initial set is achieved.
6. Final strength will be achieved after about 24 hours.
7. If machining, turning, milling or painting is required, proceed after full curing.

Note: close each tin with the lid belonging to that component (orange on the orange tin and black on the black tin).

Storage and warnings

• Keep out of the reach of children.
• Wear gloves, a mask and goggles when working.
• Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct light.

Summary

If you are looking for a reliable solution for surface repairs, gap filling and creating a very strong bond on metals, AL90, the Ghaffari-brand twin-pack aluminium adhesive with a two-part, epoxy-based structure and aluminium particles, is designed for exactly this need.

After full drying, AL90 twin-pack aluminium adhesive forms a hard, uniform surface that can be machined, turned, milled and painted, and provides reliable performance against moisture, heat, vibration and many common chemicals.

This product is used in applications such as sealing, bonding metal castings (especially aluminium), engine housings, gearbox casings, radiators, industrial equipment, automotive parts and plumbing lines without the need for welding. It is also a suitable option for repairing wear and correcting irregular surfaces on profiles, moulds, tanks and metal pipes.

As a result, AL90 twin-pack aluminium adhesive can be a suitable replacement for traditional methods such as welding or soldering in localised repairs.
