The recommended application temperature for this epoxy adhesive is between 60°F to 90°F.
-
How long does it take for the adhesive to cure once applied?
The curing time for the epoxy adhesive typically ranges from 24 to 72 hours, depending on temperature and humidity levels.
-
Can this adhesive be used on metal surfaces?
Yes, the 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive 460NS is suitable for bonding metal surfaces.
-
Is this product safe to use indoors or in poorly ventilated areas?
It is always recommended to use this product in a well-ventilated area as it may emit vapors during application and curing.
-
How should I store any unused portions of the epoxy adhesive after opening the pail/drum?
After opening, ensure that you tightly reseal the container and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its shelf life.
When using a Duo-Pak (DP) size adhesive, rely on 3M dispensing equipment for convenient and accurate metering, mixing, and dispensing.
Straightforward and Easy to Use
3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive DP460NS is a high-quality adhesive that exhibits excellent shear and peel strength, as well as good impact durability. It is designed to bond to a wide range of surfaces, including ceramics, metals, glass, wood, and some plastics. The preparation and application process for this adhesive is straightforward and easy-to-use. Simply mix the components with a 2:1 by volume mix ratio and apply according to the instructions to achieve a strong and long-lasting bond. The components are easy to mix, and the 60-minute work life allows users ample time to reposition the bonding surfaces before a durable bond is achieved. For even easier mixing and application, we recommend using 3M Scotch-Weld EP Plus II applicators with a duo-pak cartridge.

Understanding Epoxy Adhesives
Epoxy adhesives are a type of structural adhesive that includes polyurethane, acrylic, cyanoacrylate, and other adhesives. These adhesives 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 during which the adhesive can be applied and the surfaces positioned as needed. This work life can range from a few minutes to several hours. Epoxy adhesives provide high shear and peel strengths, depending on the formula, and offer better heat and chemical resistance compared to other common adhesives. They have the highest overall strength and perform exceptionally well in high-temperature, solvent, and outdoor weathering conditions.
Epoxy adhesive, also known as epoxy glue, is widely used in various industries, including building and home construction, aircraft and automobile manufacturing, and the assembly of bicycles, boats, golf clubs, skis, and snowboards. It is also commonly used for home repairs and other applications. These adhesives are favored for their ease of use, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance. Formulations can be tailored to meet specific requirements, such as creating flexible epoxy for plastic or rigid epoxy for metal, transparent or opaque epoxy resin, and quick or slow setting adhesives. The versatility of epoxy adhesives allows for bonding wood, metal, glass, stone, and various plastics, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
