-
The adhesive is specifically designed for bonding certain plastics commonly used in automotive and industrial applications.
Does the Blue color of this adhesive serve any specific purpose?
-
The Blue color helps with easy identification and ensures proper mixing for accurate bond strength.
Can I use this adhesive to bond other materials besides plastic?
-
This particular product is formulated for bonding selected plastics only. For other material types, we recommend exploring our wide range of adhesives suitable for various substrates.
How should I store the 1 Gallon Can drum of this adhesive when not in use?
-
It's best to store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to maintain its shelf life and effectiveness.
Is there a recommended shelf life for this product once opened?
-
Once opened, we recommend using the adhesive within six months to ensure optimal performance.
When using a Duo-Pak (DP) size adhesive, rely on 3M dispensing equipment for convenient and accurate metering, mixing, and dispensing.
Creates a Strong Bond on Low Surface Energy Plastics
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, 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).
Easy Adhesion with Acrylic
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.
