Product Description

3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive 2158 B/A is a two-part, high-strength epoxy adhesive that chemically cures at room temperature to form a durable gray bond. It provides excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates, including metals, many plastics, wood, and damp concrete. Featuring a convenient 1:1 mix ratio by weight or volume, it is also recognized as meeting UL 94 HB standards for flammability.

Key features

  • Convenient mix ratio: Features a 1:1 mix ratio by weight or volume for simplified dispensing and application.
  • Versatile adhesion: Bonds strongly to multiple substrates, including metals, plastics, wood, and damp concrete.
  • Extended work life: Offers a 120-minute open time at room temperature, allowing ample time for complex assemblies and positioning.

Applications / Suitable for

  • High-strength structural bonding
  • Assembling metals, plastics, and wood
  • Applications requiring bonding to damp concrete
