#### Overview

 Aerok 8020 delivers very high strength in the realm of epoxy adhesives. Compatible with metals, plastics, and composites, this adhesive ensures robust bonding across a wide spectrum of materials. A notable attribute is its fast strength build-up, reaching handling strength in a span of 3 hours. Its formula also exhibits good resistance to chemicals and environmental factors. It's worth highlighting the need for careful handling, as skin sensitization can occur in certain individuals.

 What sets Aerok 8020 apart from other adhesives? **

 Its very high strength and impact toughening make it unique, ensuring optimal performance in demanding structural applications.

 How long does Aerok 8020 take to cure? **

 Aerok 8020 can be put into light operation after 3 hours. Full cure can take up to 24 hours.

 What's the recommended surface preparation for Aerok 8020? **

 Surface preparation can significantly influence bond performance. Generally, clean, dry, and slightly abraded surfaces ensure optimal adhesion. You will not need to use a specialist primer or surface preparation method unless you are bonding LSE plastics or materials that have low surface energy.

 Is Aerok 8020 resistant to solvents and chemicals? **

 The adhesive exhibits good chemical resistance. However, for applications involving prolonged exposure to specific chemicals, it's recommended to conduct a compatibility test.

 Which substrates can Aerok 8020 bond? **

 Aerok 8020 effectively bonds most metals, plastics, and composite materials. It will not bond to LSE plastics like PP, PE, or PTFE as well as galv. steel and powder-coated materials unless you have used a specialist surface preparation method.
