1. Product Overview
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Neoprene High Performance Contact Adhesive EC-1357 is a fast-acting, solvent-based adhesive designed to deliver rapid bond build-up and excellent initial strength. It offers a long bonding range, allowing time for adjustments and precise positioning, while maintaining high resistance to heat and continuous stress loads. This adhesive is particularly valued in aerospace and interior panel applications where reliability, strength, and heat durability are essential.
2. Applications
EC-1357 is widely used for bonding rubber, foam, fabric, wood veneer, plastic laminate, plastic honeycomb, and metals. It is especially suitable for aircraft interior assemblies, composite bonding, and veneer lamination. Its balance of quick adhesion, durability, and flexibility makes it a trusted solution across aerospace and other high-performance industrial sectors.
3. Typical Properties
This adhesive combines excellent initial tack, long bonding range, and durability under varied temperature conditions. It demonstrates strong peel and shear strengths, withstanding continuous load stress and high temperatures up to 107°C. With a liquid form available in multiple packaging sizes, it provides versatility in brush, spray, or roller applications. Its light yellow or gray appearance, high volatile content, and room temperature curing simplify handling and ensure consistent performance.
