3M Neoprene High Performance Contact Adhesive 1357L is a versatile, solvent based adhesive. It offers high immediate handling strength and good heat resistance, and is commonly used for bonding most metals and plastics. It is also suitable for large surface panel or composite lamination.

The 3M Scotch-Weld Composite Surfacing Film AF 163-2 encompasses a family of thermosetting modified epoxy adhesives in film form that provides long-term durability and meets specific challenges for metal and composite solid panel and honeycomb sandwich construction, where high fracture toughness and peel strength is required.

3M Dry Layup Adhesive 1.0 is a sprayable, synthetic elastomer-based adhesive and is designed to reduce the amount of time required for dry layup of fiberglass. Ideal for robotic application. It also helps to reduce wrinkles, which can be a major source of failures. Red colour allows control of the application level

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.
