Main features

  • Low-Viscosity Surface Wetting
  • Quick-Drying One-Component Application
  • Improved Metal Corrosion Protection

Product Description

3M Scotch-Weld Metal Primer 3901 is a red, low-viscosity, one-component liquid primer for preparing metal and glass before bonding with compatible 3M Scotch-Weld film and liquid structural adhesives. It wets treated surfaces thoroughly and dries quickly, simplifying application before adhesive placement. The primer helps maintain cleaned surfaces in a relatively oxidation-free condition until bonding is completed. In the bonded interface, it improves adhesion and resistance to environmental exposure while adding corrosion protection on metal. The 3 to 8 cP viscosity supports thin, even coverage for glass and metal assemblies that require controlled primer application and dependable structural-adhesive preparation.

Key features

  • Low-Viscosity Surface Wetting: The 3 to 8 cP liquid spreads readily for complete wetting before adhesive placement.
  • Quick-Drying One-Component Application: The ready-to-use primer simplifies surface preparation without component mixing.
  • Metal Corrosion Protection: The dried primer improves resistance to corrosion and environmental exposure on metal.

Applications

Suitable for priming metal and glass before compatible 3M Scotch-Weld film and liquid structural adhesives.
