The 3M Adhesive Mix Monitor Power Cord is a component of the 3M Adhesive Mix Monitor system — an advanced solution that provides manufacturers with real-time data on the mix quality of two-part adhesives, helping to manage the quality and product dispensing ratio that can otherwise result in bond failure and faulty adhesive performance. Whether you are establishing a new workflow or aiming to improve the efficiency of your current process, this system can deliver reliable data to help you avoid common pitfalls in the industry. Discover how the 3M Adhesive Mix Monitor system can transform your mixing and dispensing processes by utilizing real-time data as your guide.

3M Marine Premium Filler repairs defects in fiberglass, wood, aluminum and steel for applications both above and below the waterline. This filler is a unique vinyl ester formula that offers resistance to water absorption.

3M UV Activated Film 82175 is a UV-activated and curable film with semi-structural strength but handles like a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). Delivered between two polyester silicone release liners, this clear, slightly yellow film creates precise bonds with very little shrinkage while ensuring good bond line visual appearance. It also makes use of a polyester film carrier, which helps ensure that the tape is easier to handle during slitting and die cutting. With the added benefits of good shear strength, high modulus, and a thin profile, 3M UV Activated Film 82175 is a robust alternative to traditional bonding methods.

Water-Based adhesion promoter designed specifically for use with 3M VHB Tapes. This innovative product not only maximizes adhesion and enables secure bonds but also offers an improved environmental, health, and safety (EHS) profile. With its water-based formulation, 3M VHB Tape Water-Based Promoter UV significantly reduces the amount of solvents, making it non-hazardous and non-flammable. In addition to its EHS benefits, this adhesion promoter features a UV indicator, making it visible under UV light.

3M Platinum Plus Glaze is two-part premium selfleveling finishing glaze that can repair minor imperfections on properly prepared substrates such as galvanized steel, steel, aluminum, fiberglass, wood, SMC, E-coat, OEM topcoats, cured/sanded epoxy and urethane primers. This finishing glaze cuts the sanding time to as little as 15 minutes.

3M Foam Fast Spray Adhesive 74 Low VOC is a fast-drying adhesive that bonds foam and fabric to a wide range of substrates. While offering an aggressive tack with a high initial grab and foam-tearing strength, this adhesive allows 15-minute open time to position materials properly. It also provides high coverage and helps create soft, non-dimpling glue lines. Additionally, 3M Foam Fast Spray Adhesive 74 Low VOC dispenses easily in a lace-spray pattern and applies directly onto surfaces, making it a quick, ‘go-to’, everyday-use solution. This product meets the applicable 2017 California Air Resource Board VOC limits for web spray adhesives.

Scotch-Weld 6301NS Composite Urethane Adhesive, Part B, when mixed with an equal volume of Part A is a green, non-sag, two-component urethane paste for bonding a variety of materials. This flexible adhesive has good energy absorption and fatigue properties for durable bonding of multi-material assemblies.
