Creates a Strong Bond on Low Surface Energy Plastics Structural bonds can be achieved without special surface treatments such as chemical etching, plasma, flame, or corona treatment or priming. Simply wipe the surfaces with isopropanol to remove mold release agents, dust dirt, etc. 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Plastic Adhesive 8010FC also bonds metals, ceramics, and wood and most other plastics. It is slightly flexible when cured. 3M formulated this adhesive with 8 mil spacer beads for bond line spacing. Recommended ApplicationsJoining plastics to metals, such as in the manufacture or repair of appliancesBonding low surface energy plastics without primingImpact resistance composite bondingManufacture or repair of various sporting goods equipmentLow surface energy plastics such as polypropylene, polyethylene and thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Plastic Adhesive 8010FC starts with medium viscosity for controlled dispensing and spreads to sufficiently wet out the surface. The mix ratio is 10:1 and provides a 10 minute work life. The adhesive reaches handling strength in approximately 1 hour and is fully cured in 8-24 hours (at 72°F/22°C). Easy Adhesion with AcrylicAcrylic adhesives are two-part adhesives that provide excellent bond strength and durability. Often referred to as epoxy adhesives or epoxy glue, acrylics actually belong to a separate chemical family with their own unique characteristics. This very unique adhesive bonds LSE plastics without priming or other surface treatments.
