3M Impact Resistant Structural Adhesive
3M Impact Resistant Structural Adhesive is formulated for demanding automotive OEM-specified structural bonding applications. It’s excellent for collision absorption in steel structures and advanced lightweight aluminium alloys. This two-part epoxy adhesive delivers extended worktimes – up to 1 hour – and can be rapidly heat-cured which takes approximately 30 minutes at 80°C. The adhesive also changes from silver to purple as the adhesive cures.
