High-Performance Two-Component Adhesive
Würth ESK-50 is a fast-acting, solvent-free epoxy resin adhesive engineered for professional applications requiring high strength, rapid curing, and long-term durability. Its two-component formulation ensures quick reaction and reliable results, making it ideal for both industrial and repair uses.
Fast Curing with Strong Adhesion
The adhesive cures rapidly once the two components are mixed, offering a short open time (approx. 3 minutes) and handling strength within minutes. This allows for efficient application where speed is essential, without compromising long-term bond integrity.
Broad Application Range
Würth ESK-50 is suitable for bonding an extensive variety of substrates including steel, galvanised steel, aluminium, copper, brass, coated or galvanised metals, glass, ceramics, ABS, hard PVC, SMC, fibre-reinforced plastics, polyurethane, concrete, and wood. Its transparent curing makes it especially suitable for precision or visually sophisticated adhesive joints, such as glass bonding, stainless steel panel assembly, or cosmetic repairs.
High Strength and Durability
Once cured, the adhesive achieves a combined tension and shear resistance of 20 N/mm^2 (at 23°C), with excellent resistance to shock, impact, and flaking. Its strength is maintained even under heat, making it suitable for demanding environments.
Resistance to Chemicals and Ageing
The cured epoxy exhibits outstanding chemical resistance, withstanding water, petrol, oil, and various industrial media. It is also resistant to ageing, ensuring long-term reliability of bonded joints.
Finishing and Processing
Once fully hardened, the adhesive can be sanded and finished for smooth, professional results. Its high transparency means joints remain visually discreet.
Limitations
- The adhesive may discolour under prolonged UV exposure.
- Processing requires strict attention to open times and curing conditions for optimal strength.
