The 3M 7100010680 is a high-performance two-part epoxy adhesive with a unique formula made for demanding small-joint and mounting assemblies where durability matters. Packaged as a 13.52 fl oz cartridge, this 3M DP420NS scotch-weld epoxy adhesive offers a non-sag, flowable consistency suitable for vertical and edge bonding applications. With a 20 minute open time at 72°F (22°C), technicians retain sufficient positioning time before the set begins while handling complex assemblies. Typical handling strength is achieved in approximately two hours, and full cure is reached in 24 hours at 72°F, enabling predictable production schedules. DP420NS exhibits a nominal hardness of 75–80 Shore D, delivering a rigid bond that resists deformation under load and impact over time. The adhesive attains a high shear strength rated at 4500 psi, making it appropriate for load-bearing joints between metal, aluminum, and wood substrates. Rated for continuous service temperatures up to 350°F, this black 3M 7100010680 epoxy supports high-temperature-resistant epoxy applications in many assemblies. The UL94 HB flame retardant classification increases safety margins in applications where flame performance is an evaluation criterion. Non-sag rheology ensures the material remains where applied during cure, minimizing waste and improving joint consistency on complex surfaces. 3M two-part epoxy can be used indoors or outdoors when cured, offering environmental versatility for field repairs and manufacturing environments. Its specific gravity (1.13) and measured viscosity make the cartridge suitable for time-pressure dispensing systems and manual application. The product’s shock- and impact-toughened formulation improves fatigue resistance in assemblies subject to vibration and intermittent loading. Service technicians frequently ask for 3M 7100010680 when replacing mechanical fasteners with bonded joints to reduce stress concentrations and weight. Design engineers value the adhesive for bonding dissimilar substrates such as metals to composites while maintaining good dimensional stability. Storage recommendations preserve shelf life and ensure the cartridge dispenses reliably when placed into production workflows. The black color of 3M DP420NS can aid visual inspection of bead placement and coverage in assembly verification processes. As a two-part epoxy, it provides superior mechanical and chemical resistance compared with many single-part adhesives used for similar assemblies. Overall, 3M 7100010680 scotch-weld epoxy adhesive is positioned for high-performance bonding tasks that require heat tolerance, impact resistance, and predictable cure.
