Product catalog summary
Introduction
Spabond™ 345 is a robust epoxy adhesive system tailored for bonding large structures with uneven surfaces. It is characterized by high strength, excellent gap-filling capabilities, and availability in various formats suitable for cartridge and machine dispensing. The system includes three hardener speeds to accommodate different working and clamp times, featuring low exotherm and shrinkage. It holds certifications from Lloyds Register and DNV-GL.

Product Information
The adhesive is offered in multiple formats and is certified by DNV-GL and Lloyds Register. Proper storage conditions are between 10°C and 25°C in a warm, dry environment to prevent crystallization.

Instructions for Use
Optimal application occurs at temperatures between 15-25°C. Surfaces must be clean and prepared according to the material type. Thorough mixing is essential, and cartridges need priming before use. Safety gear is crucial for protection.

Mixing and Handling
The adhesive requires a 2:1 mix ratio by volume, with visual indicators to ensure proper mixing. It is a thixotropic paste, and its viscosity changes with temperature.

Adhesive Performance
Key mechanical properties include cleavage and lap shear strength on steel, along with cured mechanical and thermal properties such as glass transition temperature and volumetric shrinkage.

Health and Safety
Use of protective gloves, clothing, and eye protection is advised. Adequate ventilation is necessary to prevent inhalation of vapors and dust.

Notice
All advice is provided in good faith, but testing under final conditions is recommended to ensure the product's suitability for specific applications. Specifications and prices are subject to change without notice.

SPABOND™ 345-1

Full General Datasheet SPABOND™ 345 TOUGHENED GAP FILLING EPOXY ADHESIVE SYSTEM ¬ High strength and toughness Excellent gap filling properties Designed for cartridge and mixing machine dispense Three hardener speeds give a range of working times / clamp times Lloyds Register & DNV-GL Certified Formats Available INTRODUCTION Spabond™ 345 is a toughened, high performance adhesive system ideal for bonding large structures where substrate surfaces have uneven geometry. The product has a thick, paste-like consistency, and can be applied without sag in thicknesses of over 30mm at 15°C, making it ideal where large, uneven vertical gluelines are required. The product has a 2:1 mix ratio by volume. To aid mixing, the components are pigmented to give visual indication of mix quantity. The Fast hardener is coloured purple, but there is also a black version. This is useful for improving the cosmetic appearance of bondlines involving exposed carbon composites. Spabond™ 345 is available in cartridges and straight-sided pails for machine mixing/dispense.
