3M™ Impact Resistant Structural Adhesive is a two-part epoxy adhesive which provides an extended work time, but can be rapidly cured with heat. 3M™ Impact Resistant Structural Adhesive has excellent adhesion to a wide variety of properly prepared automotive substrates including steel and aluminum.
This adhesive is intended for true structural bonding applications when specified by automotive OEMs, and is recommended for all weld-bonded and rivet-bonded joints.
By applying its advanced science to the challenge and through close working relationships with several OEMs, 3M was able to develop the innovative 3M™ Impact Resistant Structural Adhesive which can address several of the issues vehicles encounter today during collision repairs.
“We worked closely with General Motors Service Engineers and Materials Engineering for about three years to develop this adhesive – a solution engineered to meet OEMs performance demands but designed specifically for the collision repair industry,” said Jason Scharton, OEM Business Development Manager for 3M Automotive Aftermarket Division. “We have a long history working with OEMs to develop repair products based on their needs for repair in the aftermarket.”
