Product Introduction of 3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive EC-460
3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive EC-460 is a toughened, two-part, room-temperature curing epoxy adhesive that delivers exceptional shear and peel strength, making it ideal for the most demanding aerospace applications. It maintains reliable bond strength across high and low temperatures and resists challenging environmental conditions.
This high-performance adhesive can replace mechanical fasteners, screws, rivets, and spot welds, offering a lightweight and streamlined bonding solution. It bonds effectively to a wide variety of substrates including metals, woods, ceramics, many plastics, and glass. With a convenient 2:1 mix ratio, it is available in bulk or in duo-pak cartridges for use with the 3M™ EPX™ Applicator System, allowing precise dispensing with minimal waste.
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive EC 460 provides a generous 60-minute work time, allowing ample opportunity to position and adjust components before setting. It reaches handling strength in approximately 5 hours and fully cures in 24 hours at room temperature (72°F / 22°C).
