3M Scotch-Weld Structural Plastic Adhesive 8010 is a two-part acrylic adhesive specially formulated to bond many low surface energy (LSE) plastics, including many grades of polypropylene, polyethylene, and thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). This adhesive has a medium viscosity for controlled dispensing and spreads easily, creating structural bonds without the need for special surface treatments like chemical etching, plasma, flame, corona treatment, or priming. It offers a mix ratio of 10:1 and provides 8 min
- KEY SUBSTRATES: Joins a variety of low surface energy plastics, including many grades of Polypropylene, Polyethylene, and TPOs without special surface preparation
- RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS: Creates long-lasting bonds across the electronics, transportation, and construction industries
- EXTREMELY STRONG: Can replace mechanical fasteners, screws, rivets, and spot welds in many applications
- LESS PREP TIME: Made to function with little to no surface preparation
- AMPLE OPPORTUNITY FOR REPOSITIONING: Offers up to 10 minutes for project readjustment
- FULL CURE TIME: Fully cured in 48 hours at 73 °F (23 °C)

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is the Bonding Range of 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Plastic Adhesive 8010?
The bonding range for 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Plastic Adhesive 8010 usually varies from a few seconds to several minutes.
-
Can I bond different types of plastics with this adhesive?
Definitely, you can use 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Plastic Adhesive 8010 to bond most plastic parts including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and thermoplastic olefins (TPOs).
-
How long should I wait before handling the bonded assembly?
Although it dries pretty quickly, we suggest giving it at least an hour before handling. The entire cure time is seven days.
-
Are there any storage precautions that come with the product?
You should store the product below -18°C in its original container or packaging due to its sensitivity towards temperature. Always check our certificate of analysis for specific recommendations on process control and quality assurance.
When using a Duo-Pak (DP) size adhesive, rely on 3M dispensing equipment for convenient and accurate metering, mixing and dispensing.
Structural bonds can be achieved without special surface treatments such as chemical etching, plasma, flame, or corona treatment or priming. Simply wipe the surfaces with isopropanol to remove mold release agents, dust dirt, etc. 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Plastic Adhesive DP8010 Blue also bonds metals, ceramics, and wood and most other plastics. It is slightly flexible when cured. This adhesive is formulated with 8 mil spacer beads for bond line spacing.
Recommended Applications:- Joining plastics to metals, such as in the manufacture or repair of appliances
- Bonding low surface energy plastics without priming
- Impact resistance composite bonding
- Manufacture or repair of various sporting goods equipment
- Low surface energy plastics such as polypropylene, polyethylene and thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs)
3M™ Scotch-Weld ™ Acrylic Adhesive DP8010 starts with medium viscosity for controlled dispensing and spreads to sufficiently wet out the surface. The mix ratio is 10:1 and provides a 10 minute work life. The adhesive reaches handling strength in approximately 1 hour and is fully cured in 8-24 hours (at 72°; F /22°; C).
Acrylic adhesives are two-part adhesives that provide excellent bond strength and durability. Often referred to as epoxy adhesives or epoxy glue, acrylics actually belong to a separate chemical family with their own unique characteristics. This very unique adhesive bonds LSE plastics without priming or other surface treatments.
