Product Description
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Plastic Adhesive DP8005 is a two-part acrylic-
based adhesive (10:1 ratio by volume) that can bond many low surface energy
plastics, including many grades of polypropylene, polyethylene, and TPO’s
without
special surface preparation.
3M™ Scotch-Weld Adhesive DP8005 can replace screws, rivets, plastic welding,
and two-step processes which include chemical etchants, priming or surface
treatments in many applications.

(2) Mechanical properties obtained using a Sintech 5GL Mechanical Tester. Approximate dimensions of the test
specimen was 1.5" x 0.5" x 0.3". Elongation was determined by crosshead displacement. The crosshead velocity
was 0.5"/min.
(3) Tg and CTE determined by TMA -40°F to 249°F (-40°C to 120°C) at 10°F (5°C)/min. (after 2 heat cycles).

Overlap Shear Test Method: Overlap shear test for adhesion determined in accordance to ASTM D1002. Sampe dimenions
were 1" x 4" x 1/8" (unless other thicknesses indicated) with an overlap area of 1" x 1/2". Plastics and glass substrates were
cleansed with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) wipes; metal substrates were abraded with 150-grit sandpaper and cleansed with methyl
ethyl ketone (MEK) wipes. All bonds were allowed to cure for a minimum of 48 hours at 73°F (23°C) before tested. Data were
collected using a Sintech 5GL Mechanical Tester with the 2000-lb or 5000-lb load cells. Test rate was 2"/min. for plastic bonds,
and 0.1"/min. for metal and glass bonds at 73°F (23°C).
