The 3M Mix & Dispense Equipment includes a family of portable electric mixers for proper mixing and dispensing of 3M Sealants. These products ensure correct and accurate mix and application of two-component material for various parts requiring sealing. A proper and consistent machine mix, when compared to mixing by hand, saves time and helps protect against operator fatigue.

3M Hot Melt Applicator Accessories are designed to offer versatility when dispensing 3M Hot Melt Adhesives. Uniquely designed for 3M Hot Melt Applicators, these accessories maximize the use of hot melts by improving productivity, optimizing precision, and reducing waste in your assembly process.

3M Thermal Bonding Film AF42 is an epoxy, thermoset film adhesive developed for structural bonding of metal, glass and other engineering grade substances.

3M Adhesive Sealant 760 UV is a Silane Modified Polymer (SMP) that prioritizes UV resistance, long term durability, and weather resistance. Its ability to fill gaps and bond dissimilar surfaces is ideal for promoting long-lasting bonds and design flexibility. To simplify use in production, this single-component, moisture-curing sealant is paintable when wet, forming skin after 10-30 minutes. SMP sealants such as this are permanently flexible, creating durable, elastomeric bonds that keep moisture out. These innovations paired with excellent UV resistance allow 3M Adhesive Sealant 760 UV to excel in challenging industrial, transportation, and construction applications.

3M Adhesive Sealant 740 UV is a Silane Modified Polymer (SMP) that prioritizes UV resistance, long term durability, and weather resistance. Its ability to fill gaps and bond dissimilar surfaces is ideal for promoting long-lasting bonds and design flexibility. To simplify use in production, this single-component, moisture-curing sealant is paintable when wet, forming skin after 40-60 minutes. SMP sealants such as this are permanently flexible, creating durable, elastomeric bonds that keep moisture out. These innovations paired with excellent UV resistance allow 3M Adhesive Sealant 740 UV to excel in challenging industrial, transportation, and construction applications.

3M Scotch-Weld Composite Surfacing Film AF 325 LS White is a thermosetting epoxy that 3M developed as an excellent product for surfacing composites, where its smooth, void-free surface with minimal pinholes reduces the need for subsequent surface fill or finishing and pre-paint prep. It includes copper mesh for lightning strike protection.

Bondo Self Adhesive Body Patch provides a firm, metal reinforced contour foundation for Bondo Body Filler and Fiberglass Resins when applied directly over the patched area.

3M Polyurethane Adhesive Sealant 550FC is a moisture-curing sealant that forms flexible, weather-resistant bonds. This single-component adhesive bonds dissimilar materials including plastics, sheet molding compound, aluminum, steel, coated metal, stone, and wood in temperatures ranging from -40 °F (-40 °C) to 194 °F (90 °C). Polyurethane sealants perform well in challenging industrial, transportation, and construction settings by creating durable elastomeric bonds that seal against the elements. To keep the job moving, this fast-curing formula forms a paintable skin in only 60-90 minutes. High tensile strength, weather-resistance, and short cure time allow 3M Polyurethane Adhesive Sealant 550FC to excel in applications such as exterior panel bonding, window framing, and marine manufacturing.

3M Polyurethane Adhesive Sealant 560 is a moisture-curing sealant that forms flexible, weather-resistant bonds. This single-component adhesive bonds dissimilar materials including plastics, sheet molding compound, aluminum, steel, coated metal, and wood in temperatures ranging from -40 °F (-40 °C) to 194 °F (90 °C). Polyurethane sealants perform well in challenging industrial, transportation, and construction settings by creating durable elastomeric bonds that seal against the elements. To keep the job moving, this adhesive sealant can be painted over as soon as it is applied, forming a skin after 50-60 minutes. High tensile strength, weather-resistance, and mid-range hardness allow 3M Polyurethane Adhesive Sealant 560 to excel in applications such as exterior panel bonding, vehicle flooring, and transportation manufacturing.
