3M UV Activated Film 82100 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 82100 is a robust alternative to traditional bonding methods.

3M UV Activated Film 82150 is a UV-activated and curable film with semi-structural strength but handles like a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA).

With the added benefits of good shear strength, high modulus, and a thin profile, 3M UV Activated Film 81025 is a robust alternative to traditional bonding methods.

3M SMC/Fiberglass Repair Adhesives are two-part urethanes or two-part epoxies used to bond backup strips to SMC (sheet molded compound), FRP (traditional fiberglass) and primed metal. These adhesives provide a full range of hardness, flexibility and worktimes for jobs such as reinforcing the backside of plastic components on vehicles. They use automatic mixing and offer excellent sag resistance.

3M Super Fast Repair Adhesive is a high performance, two-component, semi-rigid, urethane adhesive. This fast-setting adhesive produces rapid results and offers excellent wide gap filling capabilities. This repair adhesive can be used for a variety of applications, does not run or sag and withstands a wide range of temperatures.

3M Rigid Parts Repair is a two-part epoxy designed for use as a filler and an adhesive. This product is designed to repair SMC, FRP (traditional fiberglass) and other rigid plastic parts. This adhesive filler is easy to sand and formulated for excellent featheredge.

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 Fillet Putty 16035 is a resilient polyester milled fiberglass reinforced compound designed to be applied between gel coat and laminate to fill corners or sharp transitions helping eliminate air voids.

3M Hot Melt Adhesive 3748 is a tough, flexible hot melt adhesive with exceptional low temperature thermal shock properties that is able to provide optimal adhesion in fluctuating temperatures. As a 100% solids thermoplastic resin, this hot melt adhesive offers excellent durability for a wide variety of applications.

3M Foam Fast Spray Adhesive 74 Low VOC <25% 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 sufficient open time to position materials properly thanks to its high-solids content and low soak-in properties. It also provides high coverage and helps create soft, non-dimpling glue lines. Additionally, 3M Foam Fast Spray Adhesive 74 CA Low VOC <25% 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 mist and web spray adhesives.
