Also, how long does it take for the different versions of Araldite to set or to reach full strength? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.212.188 (talk) 13:42, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Araldite origins

Actually, Araldite was invented at this "ARL":

Aero Research Ltd. Founded in 1934 by Dr. Norman de Bruyne, a physicist/engineer and don at Cambridge University, Aero Research Ltd. (Duxford, England) pioneers new applications in aircraft adhesives and impregnated fabrics. Among the company's many advances are its Aerolite, Araldite and Redux® adhesives, its Aeroweb honeycomb core, its Fiberdux glass fiber epoxy Prepregs and its Fibrelam® panels. Aero Research Ltd. is acquired by Ciba in 1947.

BTW, that's also how it got its name; ARaLdite —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.40.250.209 (talk) 09:22, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

The History section is extremely confusing at present. Most of the article documents the two part epoxy resin adhesive which is what most people understand by the term 'Araldite'. However there is mention in the History section of a single part adhesive called Araldite with no obvious link to the Ciba-Geigy product, which I suspect is actually Aerolite. The text seems to suggest that Araldite was developed by both Aero Research and Ciba-Geigy, whereas both can't be right. Could somebody who knows their way around this subject clarify matters? --Ef80 (talk) 13:44, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

ARL was sold to Ciba-Geigy in 1947 so I suspect the Araldite 'whetted CG's appetite' in 1945 and they then bought the company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.82.103 (talk) 11:14, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm lost with the history here(in spite of the above explanation). Will somebody who knows please sort out the timeline and who did what when. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ytongs (talk • contribs) 16:37, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

There's a picture of a 1945 carton and tubes of Araldite resin and hardener, here: [2] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.84.240 (talk) 16:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the view! I liked it: two tubes. Alas, we I don't think we can use that pic here, because of commercial rights and so. Or is it you want to improve the first-date-thing? It must be around 1945 for sure. -DePiep (talk)

I am hoping to update the content once i understand why it isn't allowing me to save changes.Allaboutglue (talk) 14:40, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Need properties - Strengths, hardness etc

eg Strengths, hardness, viscosity before curing, max temp ... ? - Rod57 (talk) 05:34, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
