3M Announces Next Generation of 3M Scotch-Weld Structural Acrylic Adhesives

05 October 2021: 3M has launched its next generation of the 3M Scotch-Weld Structural Acrylic Adhesives portfolio, which includes the following new products: 3M Scotch-Weld Low Odor Acrylic Adhesive 8700NS Series, 3M Scotch-Weld Flexible Acrylic Adhesive 8600NS Series, and 3M Scotch-Weld Nylon Bonder Structural Adhesive DP8910NS.

Over the years, structural acrylic adhesives have steadily grown in popularity due to the numerous benefits they provide. Their ability to cure quickly with limited surface preparation, bond to a variety of substrates, while also offering high temperature- and high-impact resistance has made acrylic adhesives a central product used by designers, engineers and manufacturers around the world.

Although there are many advantages to 3M’s current acrylic adhesives, there are always ways to improve upon existing products. Knowing this, 3M’s expert product engineers have continued to develop advanced formulations that alleviate existing assembly challenges and are engineered specifically to allow for greater design flexibility.

Expanded portfolio of products includes the following:
• 3M Scotch-Weld Low Odor Acrylic Adhesive 8700NS Series: this improved acrylic formulation maintains structural strength in cold temperatures, is low odor and has non-flammable classification to help enhance workplace safety.
• 3M Scotch-Weld Flexible Acrylic Adhesive 8600NS Series: this new acrylic adhesive provides the flexibility of a sealant combined with the strength and cure speed of an acrylic adhesive. It also allows thin, flat surfaces to be bonded with limited surface distortion or bond line read-through.
• 3M Scotch-Weld Nylon Bonder Structural Adhesive DP8910NS: the third new acrylic in this series ensures reliable adhesion to nylon (polyamides) substrates without plasma or flame treatment surface preparation, which helps reduce costs and production time.

“At 3M, we are continuously working to identify innovative ways to enhance our products in order to make our customer’s jobs simpler, safer and more efficient,” says Brent White, Global Portfolio Leader, Industrial Adhesives & Tapes Division. “Through this expansion of the 3M Scotch-Weld Structural Acrylic Adhesives portfolio, we’ve specifically made advancements to the existing Low Odor Acrylic Adhesives, along with designing the new Flexible Acrylic Adhesive and Nylon Bonder Structural Adhesives. The new formulations of these products address many gaps that can be associated with acrylic adhesives while improving upon them to make great products even better.”
