Structural Adhesive Films

Introduction

3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Adhesive Films AF 6, AF 10, AF 13 are

unsupported, thermosetting adhesives in film form developed for the structural

bonding of metals. These products are especially suggested for use where high peel

strengths are required. Some of the advantages of these films are:

• Good flexibility and shear strength at service temperatures from -67°F to 180°F

(-55°C to 82°C).

• Easy application in a dry film which can be pressure, heat or solvent tacked into

position.

• Excellent retention of strength after aging in many environments.

• Qualification to military specification MMM-A-132 Type 1, Class 2,

(Scotch-Weld AF 6 only).
