Fast-Curing Structural Adhesive
Aerok® 8010
Aerok 8010 is a two-component structural epoxy adhesive. It is designed for applications that require a clear and very fast curing structural adhesive.
- Clear Formulation
- Cures in less than 15 minutes
- Low viscosity
Overview
Note: Some users may experience skin sensitization; handle accordingly.
Sizes available
Applications
Its low viscosity makes it suitable for bonding small components in electronics, automotive parts, or even miniature constructs.
Ideal for projects where a clear bond line is essential, such as in decorative items, light fixtures, or display units.
Key features
Will not bond to LSE plastics or galv. steel without extensive surface preparation
How to use
- Application temperature:
- Should be between 5°C and 30°C. Higher or lower temperatures can impact cure speed and adhesive performance.
- Surface Preparation:
- It's essential to clean substrates before application. Aerok 8010 will often require abrasion to maximise performance.
- Application:
- Make sure to follow the proper instructions before using Aerok 8010 as it is a two-component adhesive. Watch the 'How-To' video in the media section below.

Faq's
Is Aerok 8010 suitable for larger bonding applications?
If you're bonding larger applications with a large adhesive coverage, ensure that the adhesive can be applied and appropriately positioned within its open time of 4 minutes. If you don't put the substrates in place in those 4 minutes, the adhesive will not form a sufficient bond. Aerok 8010 is not designed for applications that require a very high-strength adhesive. It has a tensile strength of 8MPa. Other structural epoxy adhesives can reach significantly higher strengths like Aerok 8020 which can reach 35MPa."
Are there any safety precautions users should be aware of with Aerok 8010?
Some users might experience skin sensitization. It's always advisable to wear appropriate protective gear and follow the safety guidelines provided on the product label.
Can Aerok 8010 be used on flexible substrates?
Aerok 8010 is primarily designed for metals, most plastics, and composites. However, Aerok 8010 has a tensile elongation score of 150% meaning it is more than flexible enough to withstand movement and impact from flexible substrates.
Given its low viscosity, how does Aerok 8010 perform in vertical applications?
Aerok 8010 is not thixotropic. Therefore in vertical applications, it can run or drip.
How does Aerok 8010 compare in strength to other structural adhesives?
Aerok 8010 is not designed for applications that require a very high-strength adhesive. It has a tensile strength of 8MPa. Other structural epoxy adhesives can reach significantly higher strengths like Aerok 8020 which can reach 35MPa.
