3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Low Odor Acrylic Adhesives are two-part, 1:1 mix ratio, toughened structural adhesives with less odor than most acrylic adhesives. These adhesives have excellent shear and peel strength along with good impact resistance and durability. They can quickly bond to most metals, ceramics, rubbers, plastics and wood with minimal surface preparation.

Handling/Application Information

Directions for Use

N/A Apply adhesive to clean, dry substrates, which are free of paint, oxide films, oils, dust, mold release agents and all other surface contaminants. See the Surface Preparation section for specific substrate preparation method.
48.5 ml cartridge:.
Place Duo-Pak cartridge in 3M™ EPX™ Applicator. Remove cap. Dispense and discard a small amount of adhesive to assure even ratio and free flow. Clear orifice if necessary. Attach mixing nozzle. Apply adhesive to clean surfaces, join parts, secure until adhesive sets.
200/400 ml cartridge
While holding Duo-Pak cartridge in an upright position, remove and discard the insert from the cartridge by unscrewing plastic nut and removing metal washer. Place cartridge in a 1:1 200/400 ml EPX applicator. Dispense and discard a small amount of adhesive to ensure even ratio and free flow. Attach mixing and nozzle and secure with plastic retaining nut. Apply adhesive to clean surfaces, join parts, secure until adhesive sets.
Clean-up:
Excess adhesive can be removed with solvent such as MEK (Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.). part or bond line can be removed with isopropyl alcohol. (Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.) Edge tack on a finished
Heat Cure:
Full cure can be attained by raising the bondline temperature to 120ºF (49ºC) for 30 minutes or to 150ºF (66ºC) for 10 minutes.

Surface Preparation

N/A 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Low Odor Acrylic Adhesives can bond oily metal, plastic and other substrates with very little surface preparation. However, for the most consistent results and environmental resistance, all substrates should be clean, dry and free of paint, oxide films, dust, mold release agents and all other surface contaminants. The amount of surface preparation directly depends on the bond strength and environmental resistance desired by the user.
The following cleaning methods are suggested for common surfaces.
Steel and Aluminum
  1. Wipe free of dust with oil-free solvent such as acetone or isopropyl alcohol. (Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.)
  2. Sandblast or abrade using clean fine grit abrasives (180 grit or finer).
  3. Wipe again with solvent to remove loose particles. (Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.)
  4. If a primer is used, it should be applied within 4 hours after surface preparation (or see instructions pertinent to a specific primer).
Note: Aluminum may also be acid etched. Follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for this procedure.Plastic/Rubber
  1. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol. (Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.)
  2. Abrade using fine grit abrasives (180 grit or finer).
  3. Remove residue by wiping again with isopropyl alcohol.(Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.)
