Astral Bondtite Strong & Clear

Astral Bondtite Strong & Clear – High-Strength 30-Minute Epoxy Adhesive

Astral Bondtite Strong & Clear is a professional-grade, two-component epoxy adhesive designed for applications where ultimate bond strength and a perfectly transparent finish are critical. With a longer pot life and setting time, it allows for more precise and careful assembly of components, making it the ideal choice for larger or more complex projects.

The key difference between Bondtite Fast & Clear (5-minute set time) and Bondtite Strong & Clear is the extended work time. “Strong & Clear” provides a 15-minute working time (pot life) and a 30-minute setting time, which is beneficial for intricate tasks requiring careful positioning.

Key Features:

• Superior Bond Strength: Engineered to create an exceptionally strong, durable, and permanent bond that can withstand heavy loads.
• Crystal-Clear Finish: Cures to a completely transparent and colorless bond line, making it perfect for aesthetic applications and invisible repairs.
• Longer Working Time: Features a 15-minute pot life and a 30-minute setting time, providing ample opportunity for adjustments and proper alignment of parts.
• Odorless Formula: Its low-odor formulation makes it more pleasant to work with in enclosed spaces.
• Multi-Material Adhesion: Provides excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates, including glass, marble, granite, metals, ceramics, wood, and concrete.
• Chemical and Water Resistant: Once fully cured, the bond is resistant to water, mild acids, and alkalis, ensuring long-lasting performance.
• Excellent Insulator: It is a non-toxic and electrically insulating adhesive that does not shrink upon curing.

Primary Applications:

• Stone and Glass Work: Ideal for colorless and transparent glass-to-glass bonding, fixing Italian marble, and granite bonding.
• Automotive Repairs: Suitable for various metal and plastic bonding applications in vehicles.
• Industrial Assembly: Used for medium and large part bonding where a clear, high-strength bond is required.
• Heavy-Duty Household Repairs: Perfect for repairing items that require a stronger, more robust bond than a standard quick-set epoxy.

Technical Specifications:

• Product Type: Two-Component Epoxy Adhesive
• Mixing Ratio (Resin:Hardener): 1:1 by volume
• Pot Life (Working Time): Approximately 15 minutes
• Setting Time: Approximately 30-35 minutes
• Full Cure: 24 hours for maximum strength
• Color: Colorless / Transparent
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C to 90°C

Instructions for Use:

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, and dust. For best results, roughen smooth surfaces with sandpaper.
2. Dispense: Squeeze equal volumes of the Resin (Part A) and Hardener (Part B) onto a clean, disposable surface.
3. Mix: Thoroughly mix the two components for one minute until the mixture is uniform.
4. Apply: Apply a thin layer of the mixed adhesive to both surfaces to be joined.
5. Assemble and Clamp: Join the parts within the 30-minute setting time. Clamp or support the bond and allow it to cure undisturbed for at least 24 hours to achieve full strength.
