3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive DP420 48.5 ml Black

Key Features:

1. High Strength: The adhesive provides excellent shear and peel strength, making it ideal for bonding a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites.
2. Good Durability: Once fully cured, the bond is resistant to high temperatures, moisture, and chemicals, making it suitable for use in demanding environments.
3. Long Work Time: DP420 offers a relatively long working time (open time) of around 90 minutes at room temperature, which allows for more flexibility during application.
4. Fast Curing: After mixing the two components, it cures quickly, typically setting in about 6-8 hours and reaching full strength in 24 hours at room temperature.
5. Toughened Formulation: It is designed to resist impacts and vibrations, which makes it ideal for automotive, aerospace, and structural applications.

Typical Applications:

• Automotive: Bonding metal, plastics, and composites for structural repairs or component assemblies.
• Aerospace: Used for bonding components like metal parts, composites, and honeycomb structures.
• General Industrial: Suitable for bonding materials used in manufacturing, machinery, and equipment.

Application Method:

1. Surface Preparation: Clean and prepare the surfaces to be bonded (removing oil, grease, dirt, etc.).
2. Mixing: The adhesive comes in two parts (resin and hardener) that must be mixed in the correct ratio (typically 1:1 by volume).
3. Application: Once mixed, apply the adhesive to the surfaces to be bonded.
4. Curing: Allow the adhesive to cure at room temperature for the specified amount of time.
