{{Unreferenced|date=May 2008}}'''Araldite''' is a registered [[trademark]] of [[Huntsman Advanced Materials]] (previously part of [[Ciba]]) referring to their range of engineering and structural [[epoxy resin|epoxy]], acrylic, and polyurethane [[adhesive]]s. The name was first used in 1946 for a two-tube epoxy adhesive.
The name is derived from A. R. L., the initials of Adhesives Research Laboratory.
(The part of Ciba which developed the adhesive was Ciba (A.R.L.) Ltd)
The adhesive is commonly used in alpine repairs for snowboards and skis, if they are damaged.
This is frequently used by the 'workshop cowboys' to ensure the quality of their workmanship is perfect.
