Introducing the 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ 8005. This is a two-component acrylic adhesive that's specifically formulated to bond low surface energy (LSE) plastics. However, it will also bond a variety of other materials ranging from metals, rubber, glass, ceramics and glass with limited surface preparation. For general adhesive applications, this 3M solution is versatile and reliable.

The Scotch-Weld™ DP8005 has a medium viscosity, great for precision dispensing and spreads sufficiently out on the surface. With a mix ratio of 10:1 it provides a 3 minutes working time. It reaches its maximum bond by approximately 3 hours and its fully cured in 24 hours (22°C).

Acrylic adhesives are a two-part package that provides excellent bond strength and durability. Is also referred to as epoxy adhesive or epoxy glue, its very unique without priming or surface preparation when bonding LSE plastics.

• Ability to structural bond low surface energy plastics such as polyolefins, polypropylene, polyethylene and TPO's
• Excellent resistance to water and humidity combined with very good chemical resistance results in a bond that can withstand a variety of applications and conditions
• Cures at room temperature without heat or other chemicals to eliminate complex adhesion processes
• One step process results in a strong bond on low surface energy plastics minimizing or eliminating pre-treatment or preparation of the substrates needed prior to bonding
• Requires 3M EPX™ Manual Dispenser (RS - 905-4573) and DP8005 nozzle (RS - 349-3146)

This adhesive has a shelf life of 12 months from the dispatch date from the manufacturer.

3M are a trusted name in tapes and adhesives. With a huge range of versatile and specialist tapes, 3M support dozens of industries and applications, from heavy-duty construction to DIY around the home. Whatever your needs, 3M supplies an adhesive solution that won't let you down.

Make plastic and metal stick together in a jiffy using this adhesive from 3M. It takes the prep work out of joining low-surface energy plastics, as there's no need for etching or priming. The glue gives you the benefit of impact-resistant composite bonding, so you can leave screws and rivets in your toolbox. Thanks to its medium viscosity, it delivers controlled dispensing that spreads out to wet your substrate sufficiently, without excess.

• Resists water, humidity and many chemicals for compatibility with harsh settings
• Fully cures in 8 to 24hrs, so there's minimal waiting time
• Versatile, as it's suitable for indoor or outdoor use

• Construction sites
• Electronics manufacturing
• Commercial signage
• Automotive industry

The glue reaches handling strength after 2 to 3 hours, so it's a fast worker.
