1. Product Overview

3M™ Scotch-Weld™ DP460 Off-White and DP460NS are two-part epoxy adhesives designed for high performance structural bonding. They provide excellent shear and peel strength, long work life, and durability under environmental stress. DP460NS is a non-sag version, making it suitable for vertical or overhead applications.

Key Features:

  • High shear and peel strength

  • 60-minute work life at 23 °C

  • Excellent durability and environmental resistance

  • Easy mixing and application with 3M EPX system

  • DP460NS: thixotropic, non-sag consistency


2. Applications

  • Structural bonding of metals, plastics, composites, rubbers, and wood

  • Aerospace, automotive, industrial, and electronics assembly

  • Applications requiring long work time, strong environmental resistance, and reliable durability

  • Vertical or gap-filling bonds (DP460NS)
