Technical Data April, 2016

Product

Description 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesives are designed to give

exceptional performance on difficult-to-bond plastic and rubber substrates. These adhesives

may be bonded to like substrates or in combination with metal or composite substrates.

Superior performance is achieved on materials such as heavily plasticized PVC, EPDM,

ABS, Nylon, Santoprene®

, and Viton®

Specific Features • 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesive PR40 is a low viscosity

cyanoacrylate adhesive which bonds close-fitting plastic or rubber parts quickly and

with high strength.

• 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesive PR100 is a general

purpose, low viscosity bonder for rubber or plastic surfaces.

• 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesive PR600 is a medium viscosity

cyanoacrylate with some gap-filling capability. It will bond many common substrates

including plastics and rubbers.

• 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesive PR1500 is a high viscosity

cyanoacrylate that can be used on plastic or rubber parts that do not fit well together. It

has excellent gap-filling characteristics and will not wick into unwanted areas.

• 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesive PR Gel is a fast curing, very

high viscosity, gap-filling cyanoacrylate. Its gel formulation is suitable for bonding

poorly mating components and for porous substrates and can be used on vertical

surfaces as it will not drip or slump.

Handling Information Surface Preparation

For optimum strength structural bonds, paint, oxide films, oils, dust, mold release

agents, and all other surface contaminants must be completely removed. However,

the amount of surface preparation depends on the required bond strength and the

environmental aging resistance desired by the user. Typical quick surface preparation

would include wiping with a clean solvent (such as isopropyl alcohol*), abrading

the surface with a clean fine abrasive, and then wiping again with a clean solvent to

remove loose particles.

Directions for Use

1. Ensure that parts are clean, dry, and free from oil and grease.

2. An instant adhesive activator may be required if there are bonding gaps

or porous substrate surfaces, if substrates are low surface energy plastics

(e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene) or if substrates have acidic surfaces

(e.g., paper, leather).

3. Bond speed is typically very fast so ensure that parts are properly aligned before

dispensing.

4. Product is normally hand applied from the bottle. Apply sparingly to one surface

and press parts firmly together until handling strength is achieved. As a general

rule, as little cyanoacrylate as possible should be used. Over application will

result in slower cure speed and lower bond strength.

Cured Bond Characteristics

1. Full bond strength will typically be achieved within a 24 hour cure time.

2. Low humidity or low temperature conditions will slow down the cure rate.

3. After curing, 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesive bonds

are suitable for use up to about 180°F (82°C).

4. Cyanoacrylate bond resistance to most oils and solvents is excellent. Long term

humidity, moisture, or water immersion may affect the strength of a cured

cyanoacrylate bond depending on the substrates and the bond gap. Testing is

recommended to evaluate the effect.

*Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot lights,

and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.

Storage For short term storage (<30 days), keep adhesive in a cool (60°F to 80°F [16°C to

27°C]), dry place out of direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly covered and free of

moisture. Refrigeration (40°F [4°C]) gives optimum long term storage stability.

Shelf Life 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesives can be expected to have

a shelf life of one year from the date of shipment from 3M when stored under

refrigerated conditions.
