3M SCOTCH-WELD^TM STRUCTURAL ADHESIVES

Load-Bearing Formulations For Metals, Rubber, Glass and More

As an alternative to mechanical or fusion fastening, the reasons for Scotch-Weld Adhesives are many:

Greater design latitude
Cleaner lines
Material substitution
Less machining
Lighter weight
More durability
Less Cost

To meet application and end-use requirements you can select from one-part heat-curing epoxies and two-part room temperature-curing epoxies, acrylics and urethanes. There are formulations for bonding steel, aluminum, copper, low surface energy plastics, rubber, glass, wood, masonry and more.

Whatever properties you need - durable adhesion, flexibility, creep resistance, heat and environmental resistance, void-filling - you'll likely find a Scotch-Weld product to meet your requirements and expectations.

3M has long been recognized as a pioneer in structural strength adhesives. But to meet end use performance requirements doesn't just mean providing the right chemical formula. Which is why 3M also develops dispensing systems to facilitate production in low and high volume assembly. Many two-part 3M formulations are available in Duo-Pak cartridges for dispensing with a manual or pneumatic 3M EPX Applicator.

Porch Railing - 3M Scotch-Weld Structural Plastic Adhesive DP-8004 bonds unique thermoplastic composite in assembly of hollow railings that are stiffer than wood.

Refrigerant Coil - 3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive 2214 bonds and seals coils with overlap shear strength of 4500 psi. One part eliminates metering and mixing.

Retail Store Display Columns - To maintain the quality wood-like appearance, 3M Scotch-Weld Structural Plastic Adhesive DP-8005 eliminates screws, nails and related surface finishing in assembly of plastic composite components.

Aircraft Entry Steps - Brush-applied 2-part 3< Scotch-Weld Adhesive 2216 B/A provides a tough, flexible bond between honeycomb and the framework in entry step panels of commuter aircraft.

Bicycle Frame Assembly - 3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive DP-420 bonds steel couplings into aluminum tubing of the frame. Couplings are threaded for easy assembly and disassembly. The toughened epoxy bonds for the long run in high stress areas.

Bonding Magnets To Steel Rotor - Bonds made with 2-part 3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive DP-460 cure at room temperature and reach 4500 psi in overlap shear strength. Void-filling properties secure loose fitting surfaces.
