3M DP 760 epoxy adhesive with high temperature resistance

      What are the specifications of 3M DP760?

The 3M DP760 is a two-component epoxy adhesive of the rigid type belonging to the Scotch-Weld range developed by 3M. Its main feature is its ability to withstand temperatures up to 230°C at peak. Its shear performance remains excellent, even at 200°C.

It is referred to as a structural adhesive because its shear strength after polymerization exceeds 7 MPa at -55°C, 23°C, and 80°C.

The adhesive polymerizes at room temperature, and the curing can be accelerated with moderate heat.

Key characteristics:

• Excellent shear performance.

• High peel resistance.

• Maintains performance even after prolonged exposure to humidity and heat.

• Excellent chemical resistance.

• Thixotropic paste consistency: the mixture does not flow, making it easier to apply.

• Adhesion to many substrates: metal (steel, aluminum), glass, high surface energy plastics, polyamide rubber, and composites.

This adhesive was used on June 21, 2012, to set a Guinness World Record for bonding, establishing that Scotch-Weld DP760 is the strongest adhesive in the world. A 10-ton truck was suspended in the air for one hour at the 3M facility in Germany, thanks to the application of 3M DP760 on a 7 cm diameter surface connecting the truck to the crane.

We advise you to carefully check the condition of the substrates before any bonding: there should be no dust, dirt, or grease. Proper surface preparation is essential!

      How to apply it?

The extrusion and application of DP760 epoxy adhesive are performed using a manual EPX adhesive applicator gun. This system is very easy to use, allowing for quick, precise, and effective application.

Two accessories are required:

• A 2:1 piston for extruding the two components.

• A mixing nozzle for simultaneously mixing the two components.

      What are its industrial applications?

This product can be used, for example, for bonding two carbon pieces in an engine compartment subjected to high temperatures and vibrations during car racing.
