Details
Our 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ General Purpose Instant Adhesives are single component, high-strength ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesives designed to bond to a variety of substrates. These products are also available in a wide variety of viscosities. The 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ General Purpose Instant Adhesive ECIGEL provides a number of benefits to the end user; it can be applied to vertical surfaces without dripping and provides a strong, enduring bond that is shock and impact resistant. As the name suggests, this adhesive has a fast setting time for instant adhesion and provides an aesthetically superior closure than mechanical fasteners. Recommended Applications Plastics Rubbers Metals Ceramic General purpose applications What are Instant Adhesives? Instant adhesives are Cyanoacrylate based formulas that are strong, fast-acting adhesives used in industrial, and household applications. In general, they are an acrylic or other chemical resin that rapidly polymerizes in the presence of water (specifically hydroxide ions), forming long, strong chains, joining the bonded surfaces together. Cyanoacrylates typically have a short shelf life. As a liquid, cyanoacrylate consists of monomers of cyanoacrylate molecules. Depending on the intended application or to facilitate easy handling, a cyanoacrylate adhesive may be formulated with an ingredient such as fumed silica to make it more viscous or gel-like. Because the presence of moisture causes the glue to set, exposure to normal levels of humidity in the air causes a thin skin to form within seconds, which greatly slows the reactive curing process. Cyanoacrylate should be applied thinly, to ensure that the reaction proceeds rapidly and a strong bond is formed within a reasonable time. Instant adhesives from 3M apply right from the container and rapidly reach handling strength at room temperature.
