3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive CA8 is a cyanoacrylate adhesive that can be easily applied with a thin bond line from a squeeze bottle and cures quickly. The adhesive is dispensed from a flexible container, allowing for precise application by either pinching a precise drop or squeezing for a steady bead.
Recommended Applications- Gasket attachment
- Small joint assembly
- Jewelry assembly
- Orthopedics and footwear
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive CA8 typically reaches handling strength in under 40 seconds and achieves a full cure in 24 hours. This quick curing time helps improve workplace productivity. Once fully cured, the adhesive creates a strong, durable, and long-lasting bond with overlap shear strength over 2,000 psi.
Understanding Instant AdhesivesInstant adhesives are fast-acting, cyanoacrylate-based formulas used in industrial and household applications. They are an acrylic resin that rapidly polymerizes in the presence of moisture, forming long, strong chains that join the bonded surfaces together. To ensure a strong bond is formed within a reasonable time, cyanoacrylate adhesives should be applied thinly with pressure put on the bond for a few seconds.
3M instant adhesives apply right from the container and rapidly reach handling strength at room temperature. A single drop per square inch can bond many plastics, rubbers, metals, wood, and more. In 2012, an instant adhesive from 3M set a Guinness World Record for the strongest glue by lifting an 8.1 metric ton forklift in the air for one hour.
