3M™ PANEL BONDING ADHESIVE, 08115, 200 ML CARTRIDGE, 6 PER CASE

Our 3M™ panel bonding adhesive is a cost effective 2-part epoxy adhesive for bonding replacement body panels. From its fast, convenient cartridge system the adhesive seals and bonds steel, aluminum, SMC and FRP securely in a single operation. The result of years of development and testing, our 3M™ panel bonding adhesive bonds and seals plastic and metal substrates including cold roll steel, aluminum, SMC and FRP (traditional fiberglass). It is ideal for bonding quarter panels, roofs skins, box sides, van sides, utility vehicle sides and door skins Anywhere that requires a lasting bond for outer body panels, without the added time and expense of riveting or welding. In fact, adhesive bonding can be a time and money saving replacement for many collision repair jobs that have traditionally required welding or riveting. Many interior or other adjacent parts that must be removed to avoid damage from welding can remain installed when bonding. Unless specified by an OEM, structural components should be welded. 2-part panel bonding adhesive is available from 3M™ in cartridges from 50 mL to 400 mL and works seamlessly with 3M™ manual applicator guns such as 08117 and the 3M™ pneumatic applicator gun 09930 for the 200 mL cartridges. It applies quickly from the cartridge with no pre-mixing or measuring. The adhesive contains glass beads which reduces excessive squeeze out and makes it easy to form consistent bond lines. A work time of up to 2 hr and the added heat assisted on demand curing allows for accurate application, squeeze out sealing and cleanup. The bonding adhesive also has an excellent shelf life even after it's been opened, reducing the cost of replacing unused product. Adhesive maximizes shop time, as it can be used quickly and conveniently for many applications where welding or riveting have traditionally been the best options. Technicians can save time by welding only where adhesive peel failure or ghost lines are a concern and achieve better results by bonding in areas where sheet metal can warp during the welding process. You can even resistance spot weld directly through uncured adhesive for areas where a weld can add stability. The bonding adhesive contains corrosion inhibitors to resists corrosion much better than welds or rivets, helping to extend the life of the body panel repair. Unless specified by an OEM, structural components should be welded. 3M™ panel bonding adhesive is the result of years of laboratory development and field testing. Our scientists pioneered bond line control in the collision repair market, incorporating glass beads into our adhesive formula that work as built-in spacers for optimal bond line thicknesses. Our adhesive cartridges, together with our manual and pneumatic applicator guns and mixing nozzles, form a system that eliminates pre-mixing or measuring of 2-part epoxies. The ability to bond effectively results in a more versatile, cost effective shop.
