Product Description

3M™ Scotch-Weld™ General Purpose Instant Adhesives are single component,

high strength ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesives designed to bond to a variety of

substances including most plastics, rubbers, metals, and other common substrates.

They are available in a wide variety of viscosities.

Specific Features

• 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ General Purpose Instant Adhesive EC5 is a very low

viscosity, cyanoacrylate that is fast bonding. It is recommended for use on

assemblies with very close-fitting parts and smooth, even surfaces. It can be

used to wick into bonding gaps of assembled parts.

• 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ General Purpose Instant Adhesive EC40 is a low viscosity

cyanoacrylate that is fast curing. It is recommended for use on assemblies with

close-fitting parts and smooth, even surfaces.

• 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ General Purpose Instant Adhesive EC100 is a low

viscosity cyanoacrylate that is fast curing and useful for general purpose

bonding.

• 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ General Purpose Instant Adhesive EC600 is a medium

viscosity cyanoacrylate that resists migration from the bond area. It can be

used for wire tacking on printed circuit boards.

• 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ General Purpose Instant Adhesive EC2500 is a high

viscosity liquid cyanoacrylate with an even slower cure rate. It is also used on

assemblies where parts are not close-fitting, surfaces are rough or porous, or where

time is required to align parts before cure.

• 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ General Purpose Instant Adhesive ECI Gel is an industrial

strength thixotropic gel for maximum gap filling. It is suitable for bonding poorly

mating components and for porous substrates such as ceramic and can be used on

vertical surfaces as it will not drip or slump.
