3M Releases Composite Spray Adhesive

Plastics Decorating

3M, St. Paul, Minnesota, has released 3M™ Hi Tack Composite Spray Adhesive 71. The new spray adhesive features benefits for industrial, marine, transportation and composite manufacturers, including quick-to-tack formula, visual control and little to no intrusion during the resin infusion process.

The specialized formula facilitates effective lay-up of fiber sheets with low soak-in for quick bonding times and turnarounds. The adhesive also is built with high-adhesive solids content, so the product lasts longer and less is required. In addition to clear, the adhesive is available in green, allowing operators to ensure the appropriate amount is applied.

The formula will work with most resin systems, including polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy. It also bonds fiber, fabric, wood, laminate or metal, and its strong tack is ideal for a variety of composite production applications.
