1. Product Overview
3M™ Neoprene Contact Adhesive 5 is a high-performance, solvent-based contact adhesive designed for laminating large surfaces. With a low viscosity that enables spray application, it offers fast tack development, high initial handling strength, and excellent resistance to heat and moisture. Its ability to bond sheet metals, plastics, foams, and composites has made it a trusted solution for over 60 years across multiple industries requiring durability under demanding conditions.
2. Applications
This adhesive is widely used for composite panel construction, woodworking, and general contact bonding. It is especially effective in laminating sheet metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and cold-rolled steel to plastics, wood, or other substrates. It is also applied in transportation, specialty vehicle construction, furniture, and aerospace interior assemblies, where strong adhesion and resistance to environmental stress are required.
3. Typical Properties
3M™ Neoprene Contact Adhesive 5 combines fast application, reliable adhesion, and long-term durability. Its open time of up to 30 minutes provides flexibility in assembly, while its performance at elevated temperatures (up to 110°C / 230°F) ensures reliable service in demanding environments. The product is GREENGUARD® certified, flammable, and available in bulk packaging, making it suitable for large-scale industrial use.
