Features
3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive 2214 is a high-strength, fast-curing epoxy adhesive made to create a dense, void-free bond line in high-temperature applications involving aluminum, fiberglass, reinforced plastic, polyester, and phenolics. Its high-performance formula is designed to provide long-lasting results in demanding conditions where extreme temperatures, particularly environmental elements, such as expansion, flexing, and vibration, are a factor. This product is especially ideal for aluminum applications falling within a temperature range of -67 F (-55 C) to 250 F (121 C) and additionally is suitable for masonry and ceramics. Offering a fast-setting cure, 3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive 2214 reaches a fully-cured state when heat is applied for 40 minutes at 250 F (121 C). There are many industries where this product can be used, including metalworking, construction, specialty vehicle, electronics, appliance repair, and more.
Pliable Paste Consistency Goes Where Needed with No Sagging
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive 2214 Hi-Density is an aluminum-filled general purpose product for use in applications where high strength bonds are needed in a temperature range of -67°F to 250°F (-53°C to 121°C). 3M™ Scotch-Weld&trade
Recommended Applications
- Bonding metals especially when high temperature strength is required
Understanding One-Part Epoxy Adhesives
Epoxy adhesives are part of the class of adhesives called structural adhesives, which include polyurethane, acrylic, cyanoacrylate and other adhesive families. While most epoxies are two-part formulations that undergo a chemical reaction when mixed, there are also one-part epoxy adhesives in which the chemical reaction begins when they are subjected to high temperatures for specified periods. These one-part formulations do not require measuring or mixing and can generally be reworked until heat is applied. They also exhibit higher temperature resistance than two-part epoxy adhesives.
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.
