PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive CA40?

    3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive CA40 is a clear, medium viscosity instant adhesive that bonds quickly and securely to a variety of surfaces.

  2. What type of bond does it create?

    It creates a strong, permanent bond between the surfaces being bonded.

  3. How can I best apply the adhesive for optimal performance?

    Apply only enough adhesive to coat one surface and then press the two surfaces together immediately after. Work quickly because it sets in seconds once contacted with air.

  4. Can it be used on any materials?

    Yes! This instant adhesive will bond metal, rubber, plastic, wood, ceramic and more!

Pinch for a Precise Drop or Squeeze for a Steady Bead

3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive CA40 is a glue that is easily applied with a thin bond line from a squeeze bottle and cures quickly. This cyanoacrylate adhesive is dispensed from a flexible container; pinch a precise drop or squeeze for a steady bead.

Recommended Applications
  • Gasket attachment
  • Small joint assembly
  • Jewelry assembly
  • Orthopedics and footwear
Creates a Strong, Durable, Long-Lasting Bond

Once applied, 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive CA40 typically reaches handling strength in under 20 seconds, with a full cure achieved in 24 hours. This keeps jobs moving quickly and may help improve workplace productivity. Once a full cure is achieved, the glue achieves a strong, durable and lasting bond, with overlap shear strength over 2,000 psi.

Understanding Instant Adhesives

Instant adhesives are cyanoacrylate based formulas that are strong, fast-acting glues used in industrial and household applications. In general, they are an acrylic resin that rapidly polymerizes in the presence of moisture, forming long, strong chains, joining the bonded surfaces together.

Cyanoacrylate adhesives should be applied thinly, with pressure put on the bond for a few seconds, to ensure that the reaction proceeds rapidly and a strong bond is formed within a reasonable time.

3M instant adhesives apply right from the container and rapidly reach handling strength at room temperature. Commonly referred to as a super glue, a single drop per square inch can bond many plastics, rubbers, metals, wood and more. An instant adhesive from 3M set a Guinness World Record in 2012 for the strongest glue by lifting an 8.1 metric ton forklift in the air for one hour.
