Straightforward and Easy to Use
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive DP460NS exhibits excellent shear and peel strength along with good impact
durability. It bonds to many surfaces, such as ceramics, metals, glass, wood and some plastics. When it comes to
preparation and application, 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive DP460NS is straightforward and easy-to-use.
Simply mix the components with a 2:1 by volume mix ratio and then apply according to the instructions to achieve a
strong, long-lasting bond. The components are easy to mix and the 60 minute work life means users have ample time
to reposition to the bonding surfaces before a durable, long-lasting bond is achieved. For easier mixing and application,
use 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ EP Plus II applicators with a duo-pak cartridge.

Understanding Epoxy Adhesives
Epoxy adhesives are part of the class of adhesives called "structural adhesives," which include polyurethane, acrylic,
cyanoacrylate and others. Epoxies are formulated as liquid reactive polymers that undergo a chemical reaction when
mixed and then cure to form a solid plastic material. Once the two parts are mixed in their specified ratio, they begin
the curing process and offer a limited working time where the adhesive can be applied and the two surfaces positioned
as needed. This work life lasts anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. These structural adhesives provide high
shear and peel strengths, depending on the formula, and better heat and chemical resistance than other common
adhesives. In general, epoxy adhesives have the highest overall strength and offer the best performance and most
resistance to high temperatures, solvents and outdoor weathering.
Epoxy adhesive (often referred to as epoxy glue) is widely used in building and home construction; aircraft and
automobile manufacturing; bicycle, boat, golf clubs, ski and snowboard assembly as well as a host of home use and
other applications. It is used virtually anywhere high-strength bonds are needed along with resistance to environmental
conditions. These adhesives are popular for their ease of use, mechanical strength and chemical resistance.
Formulations can be created to make epoxy for plastic flexible or epoxy for metal rigid, epoxy resin transparent or
opaque, quick setting or slow setting. The versatility with which these adhesives can be formulated helps meet almost
any requirement for bonding wood, metal, glass, stone and various plastics.
