Product Introduction
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Adhesive Film AF 32 is a yellow-colored, thermosetting modified epoxy film adhesive formulated for long-term durability in metal-to-metal bonded structures. Available in multiple thicknesses, this film offers excellent peel strength and maintains high bond strength across a wide service temperature range of -67°F to 350°F (-55°C to 175°C). Its low-flow characteristics minimize post-bonding flash removal, ensuring a clean finish. Compatible with 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Adhesives Primer EC-1660, 3M™ AF 32 provides reliable performance and allows designers to create lighter structures by reducing the need for rivets in various aerospace and industrial applications.
3M™ AF 32 Features:
- Designed for a 350°F (175°C) cure cycle.
- Maintains good flexibility and shear strength at service temperatures from -67°F to 350°F (-55°C to 175°C).
- Easy to apply in film form, which can be pressure, heat, or solvent tacked into position.
- Exhibits excellent retention of strength after aging in many demanding environments.
- Distinctive yellow color for easy identification.
- Specifically formulated for high-performance metal-to-metal bonding.
- Low flow properties reduce post-bonding flash cleanup.
3M™ AF 32 Applications:
- Structural metal-to-metal bonding for aerospace and demanding industrial applications.
- Component bonding in high-temperature service environments.
- Applications that require minimal adhesive flow for clean bond lines and finishes.
- Use in structures needing high peel strength and tensile strength across temperature extremes.
- Monolithic bonding and honeycomb sandwich structures.
