Product Description
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesives are single component, high strength
cyanoacrylate adhesives.
Features
• One component, high strength adhesives that cure at room temperature.
• Products provide varying cure times, bond strengths, and viscosities.
• Can be used to bond a variety of substrates including many rubbers, plastics, and
metals.
• Economical to use as it requires only drops of adhesive to provide strong bonds to
many metals, plastics, and rubbers.
Description
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive CA4
is a high-strength, very fast setting,
multi-purpose cyanoacrylate adhesive that cures at room temperature with very low
bonding pressures. It has particularly good adhesion to most cured rubbers.
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive CA5
is a high-strength, slow setting
cyanoacrylate adhesive that cures at room temperature. Its relatively high viscosity
is especially useful where some gap filling is desired for bonding rough or uneven
surfaces. The longer set rate allows more time for proper alignment of parts to be
bonded. Meets CID A-A-3097, Type II, Class 3.
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive CA7
is a high-strength, extremely fast
setting cyanoacrylate adhesive that cures quickly at room temperature. It has
excellent adhesion to many metals, plastics and rubbers, and produces bonds with
more shock and impact resistance than many typical cyanoacrylate adhesives.
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive CA8
is a high-strength, rapid-setting
cyanoacrylate adhesive that cures at room temperature. It has excellent adhesion to
many metals, plastics and rubbers, and produces bonds with more shock resistance
than many typical cyanoacrylate adhesives. Meets CID A-A-3097, Type II, Class 2.

3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive CA9
is a high-strength cyanoacrylate
adhesive that cures slower than many cyanoacrylates at room temperature. The
longer set rate allows more time for proper alignment of parts before bonding takes
place. It has excellent adhesion to many metals, plastics and rubbers, and produces
bonds with more shock and impact resistance than many typical cyanoacrylate
adhesives. Meets CID A-A-3097, Type II, Class 3.
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive CA40
is a high-strength, very fast-setting
cyanoacrylate adhesive that cures at room temperature with very low bonding
pressures. It has particularly good adhesion to many difficult to bond substrates
such as EPDM rubber, aluminum and flexible vinyl.
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive CA40H
is a high-strength cyanoacrylate
adhesive. It is a higher viscosity, slightly slower setting version of Scotch-Weld
CA40. It has particularly good adhesion to many difficult to bond substrates, such
as aluminum, EPDM rubber, and flexible vinyl. Scotch-Weld CA40H exhibits good
resistance to soap solutions and isopropyl alcohol. Its high viscosity helps prevent
run off during application, and its slower set time allows additional time for proper
alignment of parts.
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive Gel CA50
is a high-strength, surface
insensitive, gel cyanoacrylate adhesive. Its gel consistency allows it to be used in
many non-sag vertical applications, and to fill gaps up to .020 inches. The very
slow cure rate allows plenty of time to reposition parts. Meets CID A-A-3097,
Type II, Class 5.
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive CA100
is a high-strength cyanoacrylate
adhesive. Its relatively high viscosity (approximately 3000 cps) allows gap-filling
capability up to .020 inches. It has high T-Peel strength, thermal shock resistance,
impact resistance, and excellent metal bonding capabilities. Meets CID A-A-3097,
Type II, Class 3.

Surface Preparation
For optimum strength structural bonds, paint, oxide films, oils, dust, mold release
agents and all other surface contaminants must be completely removed. However,
the amount of surface preparation depends on the required bond strength and the
environmental aging resistance desired by the user.
Metals (Steel and Aluminum):
1. Wipe free of dust with oil-free solvent such as acetone or isopropyl alcohol.*
2. Sandblast or abrade using clean fine grit abrasives.
3. Wipe again with solvent to remove loose particles.
Aluminum Etching:
1. Alkaline Degrease: Oakite 164 solution (9-11 oz./gallon water) at 190°F ± 10°F
(88°C ± 5°C) for 10-20 minutes. Rinse immediately in large quantities of cold
running water.
2. Acid Etch: Place panels in the following solution for 10 minutes at 150°F ± 5°F
(66°C ± 2°C).
Sodium Dichromate
4.1 - 4.9 oz./gallon
Sulfuric Acid, 66°Be
38.5 - 41.5 oz./gallon
2024-T3 aluminum (dissolved)
0.2 oz./gallon minimum
Tap water as needed to balance
3. Rinse: Rinse panels in clear running tap water.
4. Dry: Air dry 15 minutes; force dry 10 minutes at 150°F ± 10°F (66°C ± 5°C).
5. If primer is to be used, it should be applied within 4 hours after surface preparation.
Plastics/Rubber:
1. Wipe with Isopropyl Alcohol.*
2. Abrade using clean fine grit abrasives.
3. Wipe with Isopropyl Alcohol.*
*Note:
When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot lights,
and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.
Handling
For short term storage (30 days), keep adhesive in a cool, dry place 60 to 80°F
(16-27°C). For long term storage, refrigeration (40°F [4°C] or below) is suggested.
Keep containers tightly covered and free of moisture. Polymerization is accelerated
by sunlight, so avoid direct exposure to sun.
One Ounce Bottles:
At end of day, clear
tip of dispensing nozzle by inserting a needle to prevent clogging. Wipe outside of
nozzle to remove excess adhesive with a folded non-cotton cloth or tissue. Replace
cap.
One Pound Bottles:
At end of day, remove cap-stem assembly and place
overnight in nitromethane or methyl ethyl ketone.* Seal bottle with shipping cap.
*Note:
When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot lights,
and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.

Storage
Store in original containers at or below 80°F (27°C).
Shelf Life
These products can be expected to have at least nine months shelf life. At lower
temperature, the shelf life will be longer. Lower temperatures cause increased
viscosity of a temporary nature and also will cause water to condense on the
container. Therefore, containers stored at low temperatures should be allowed to
return to room temperature before opening so that water does not come in contact
with the adhesive and cause adhesive gelation.
