Product Introduction
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Toughened Epoxy Adhesive LSB360NS is a high-performance, non-sag, two-part toughened epoxy adhesive that provides outstanding shear adhesion and very high durability. It features a 10-hour work life and a 1:1 mix ratio, making it ideal for bulk applications through meter mix dispensing equipment and for the manufacture of large panel products, including honeycomb panels.
This adhesive is toughened for heightened resistance against shock, vibration, and impact loads. It offers a non-sag formulation to ensure the adhesive remains in place during application. The adhesive features excellent long-term holding power and peel strength, allowing for reliable bonding even under demanding conditions.
When using a Duo-Pak (DP) size, users can rely on 3M dispensing equipment for convenient and accurate metering, mixing, and dispensing. The adhesive enables efficient bonding of large structures by distributing stress uniformly across the entire bonded area, preserving the integrity of the surface and physical properties of the panel. It allows for the use of thinner, lighter materials without concerns of distortion, splitting, or crazing, while securing even small or thin bonding edges. It also bonds oily steel and galvanized metal effectively.
This epoxy adhesive dispenses as a medium viscosity product for controlled and easy dispensing. It achieves handling strength in approximately 5 hours and fully cures within 7 days at 73°F (23°C). Its 90-minute work life provides ample time for positioning and adjustment prior to curing, making it ideal for large-scale applications.
What are Epoxy Adhesives?
Epoxy adhesives are a category of structural adhesives, alongside polyurethane, acrylic, cyanoacrylate, and others. These adhesives consist of liquid reactive polymers that undergo a chemical reaction upon mixing, forming a solid plastic material. After mixing in the specified ratio, the adhesive begins curing, offering a limited working time during which it can be applied and adjusted. Depending on the formulation, this work life can last from a few minutes to several hours.
Epoxy adhesives provide high shear and peel strength, excellent heat and chemical resistance, and superior durability compared to many other adhesives. They are widely used in construction, aerospace, automotive, sports equipment, and various other industries where high-strength bonds and environmental resistance are essential. Epoxies are favored for their mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and ease of use. They can be tailored to offer flexibility or rigidity, quick or slow setting times, and either transparent or opaque appearances.
In industrial settings, epoxy adhesives also serve as coatings and composite materials, such as carbon fiber and glass-reinforced composites. Their ability to conform to surfaces, bond strongly, and resist chemicals and heat make them the preferred choice for a wide range of demanding applications.
