PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is 3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive DP100 used for?
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive DP100 Clear is a two-part, low viscosity epoxy resin system designed to bond plastics, metals, ceramics and wood with medium strength. The adhesive offers exceptionally high shear strength that can withstand environmental exposure and great chemical resistance.
-
How long does it take to cure?
Once the two components are mixed together, the adhesive takes only four hours of curing time at room temperature to achieve handling strength and overnight for full cure of its physical properties.
-
Can I use this product on a vertical surface?
Yes! This epoxy adhesive has a non-sag consistency which helps it maintain position while curing. It doesn't easily drip off from surfaces such as walls or overhead application allowing you to have more efficient bonding solutions in different angles.
When using a Duo-Pak (DP) size adhesive, rely on 3M dispensing equipment for convenient and accurate metering, mixing and dispensing.
High Shear Strength Ensures Permanent Bonds
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive DP100 is a versatile structural adhesive with a low viscosity, clear formulation that works on a variety of substrates including metals, ceramics, concrete, and wood. It delivers strong, rigid performance with a high shear strength, making it ideal for multiple applications in the electrical, general industrial, construction, and consumer goods industries.
Recommended Applications
- General attachment applications in a variety of industries
- Attachment of various substrates that require permanency
- Applications that require machining afterwards
- Applications requiring transparent bond lines
Fast 5 Minute Work Life with Handling Strength in 20 Minutes
The mix ratio for 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive DP100 is 1:1 for quick, precise dispensing. With a 5-minute working time, there's some opportunity for repositioning for precise alignment of parts. The adhesive reaches handling strength in approximately 20 minutes and is fully cured in 48 hours (at 72°F/22°C). UL 94 HB certified.
Understanding Epoxy Adhesives
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.
