PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive DP100 Plus, Clear, 48.5 mL Duo-Pak used for?
The 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive DP100 Plus is a two-part epoxy adhesive that provides fast cure and strong bond under varying environmental conditions. It's ideal for bonding metal, wood, glass, ceramics and many plastics.
-
How long does it take to cure completely?
The curing time of the adhesive depends on various factors like temperature and surface conditions. However, on average it takes approximately 24 hours at room temperature (72°F/22°C) to attain full strength.
-
How do I use this product?
Squeeze equal amounts of resin and hardener onto a clean disposable surface such as cardboard or scrap paper then mix thoroughly with a spatula until uniform in color. Apply evenly over the surfaces to be bonded within ten minutes before the product begins to thicken.
-
Is this safe for use around food items?
This particular adhesive is not formulated for direct or indirect food contact applications since it doesn't comply with FDA regulations concerning safety requirements in terms of chemical composition. We recommend checking our range of adhesives specifically designed for these types of applications – check out “3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Multi-Material Composite Urethane Adhesive" which meets FDA compliance standards regarding certain materials used in construction or packaging products intended to come into contact with food too!
When using a Duo-Pak (DP) size adhesive, rely on 3M dispensing equipment for convenient and accurate metering, mixing and dispensing.
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive DP100 Plus is a versatile structural epoxy that provides a strong, permanent bond even under vibration and impact. It can be used on a variety of substrates including metals, ceramics and glass, wood, and many plastics. The low viscosity makes it easy to dispense and self-level, making it an effective tool for filleting and potting. It features high shear strength and good peel and impact performance that, when combined with good flexibility, make it ideal for a variety of applications in the transportation, specialty vehicle, electrical, general industrial, sporting goods, construction, and consumer goods industries.
Recommended Applications:- Glass to metal bonding
- Bonding jewelry or other items where appearance is critical
- Bonds many plastics
- General attachment applications in a variety of industries
- Replace 5 minute epoxy for improved performance

The mix ratio for 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive DP100 Plus is 1:1 for quick, precise dispensing, and with a three- to five-minute working time there's some opportunity for repositioning to keep projects on track. The adhesive reaches handling strength in approximately 20 minutes and is fully cured in 48 hours (at 72°F/22°C).
Epoxy adhesives, including 5 minute epoxy, are part of the class of adhesives called "structural adhesives," which include polyurethane, acrylic, cyanoacrylate and others. Epoxies are formulated as liquid reactive polymers that undergo a chemical reaction when mixed and then cure to form a solid plastic material. Once the two parts are mixed in their specified ratio, they begin the curing process and offer a limited working time where the adhesive can be applied and the two surfaces positioned as needed. These structural adhesives provide high shear and peel strengths, depending on the formula, and better heat and chemical resistance than other common adhesives. In general, epoxy adhesives have the highest overall strength and offer the best performance and most resistance to high temperatures, solvents and outdoor weathering.
Epoxy adhesive (often referred to as epoxy glue) is widely used in building and home construction; aircraft and automobile manufacturing; bicycle, boat, golf clubs, ski and snowboard assembly as well as a host of home use and other applications. It is used virtually anywhere high-strength bonds are needed along with resistance to environmental conditions. These adhesives are popular for their ease of use, mechanical strength and chemical resistance. Formulations can be created to make epoxy for plastic flexible or epoxy for metal rigid, epoxy resin transparent or opaque, quick setting or slow setting. The versatility with which these adhesives can be formulated helps meet almost any requirement for bonding wood, metal, glass, stone and various plastics.
