ARALDITE HV 998-1: Thixotropic Grey Paste Hardener
Araldite HV 998-1 is the specific thixotropic hardener component designed for use with structural epoxy resins, primarily Araldite AV 138M-1. As a grey paste, it provides the necessary viscosity to prevent sagging on vertical surfaces and allow for effective gap-filling. This standalone component is ideal for industrial users who require replacement stock or additional hardener for customized bulk-mixing applications.
