Structural Adhesives

  • Acrylic, epoxy and urethane structural adhesives hold over 1,000 psl in overlap shear strength.
  • Best suited for thinner bondlines, irregular shapes and textured surfaces where load-bearing strength is needed.
  • Provides the highest load-bearing strength and environmental resistance.
  • 3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive bonds and seals components of a pump housing. Adhesive flexibility helps absorb vibration for a secure bond.
  • 3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive bonds steel couplings into aluminum tubing of a bicycle frame. Couplings are threaded for easy assembly and disassembly.
  • 3M Scotch-Weld Low Odor Acrylic Adhesive requires minimal surface prep for bonding metal hinges into awning frames: reaches handling strength in 10 minutes. Great for metal to metal bonding.
  • 3M Scotch-Weld Structural Adhesive DP-8005. With no surface preparation, 3M Scotch-Weld Structural Acrylic Adhesive DP8005 bonds the mitered corners of a simulated-wood composite plastic P.O.P display, eliminating nails that would compromise appearance.
