Applications

• The use of Araldite in architecture to bond thin joints of pre-cast concrete units was pioneered by Ove Arup in Coventry cathedral and the Sydney Opera House. At Coventry cathedral, Araldite was used to bond its columns and fins, while at Sydney Opera House, Araldite was used to bond the rib sections of the shells, since a traditional concrete joint would have slowed construction, as it would need 24 hours to cure before stressing.
• Highmark Manufacturing uses Araldite in the manufacture of advanced ballistic protection body armour.
• Schlösser Metallbau, a manufacturer of metal parts for railway carriages, uses Araldite 2015 to bond aluminium profiles of cab doorframes on the BR 423 Siemens Bombardier tram.
• Fischer Composite Technology GmbH uses the Araldite RTM System to produce carbon composite side blades for the Audi R8.
• Araldite is commonly used as an embedding medium for electron microscopy.
