About Structural Adhesives

Also known as super glue, these adhesives bond quickly. Use an accelerator (sold separately) to shorten the time it takes the adhesive to reach full strength.

240 works especially well on porous materials.

Toughened Instant-Bond Adhesives

Mixed with rubber for better impact resistance than standard instant-bond adhesives, these adhesives form strong, resilient bonds. Also known as super glue. Use an accelerator (sold separately) to shorten the time it takes the adhesive to reach full strength.

435 and 438 work on porous materials such as wood, paper, and fabric.

Low-Odor Instant-Bond Adhesives

Form bonds without the strong odor of other instant-bond adhesives. Also known as super glue. Use an accelerator (sold separately) to shorten the time it takes the adhesive to reach full strength.

Instant-Bond Adhesive Gel for Hard-to-Bond Materials

Quickly adhere hard-to bond surfaces with these adhesives, also known as super glue. These thick gels fill gaps between parts and won't drip on vertical surfaces. Use an accelerator (sold separately) to shorten the time it takes the adhesive to reach full strength.

Dispense adhesives in syringes with a dispensing gun (sold separately).

Dispense adhesives in cartridges with a standard caulk gun.

PR Gel works especially well on plastic and rubber.

454 and 4541 are suitable for porous and dissimilar materials.

Spray Adhesives

Spray a thin, uniform coat of adhesive on one or both surfaces, air dry, and then bring together to form strong bonds.

Adhesives that cannot be sold to California exceed local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

High-Temperature Glue

This high-temperature glue sticks quickly, but can be repositioned for up to 2 hours before it begins to harden. Glue can be applied and allowed to dry, then reactivated with water when ready for bonding. It cannot be sold to Canada due to import regulations.

Hot-Melt Glue Sticks

When heated, these glue sticks melt and quickly begin to harden. Use them to seal packaging and form other low- to medium-strength bonds. 3M glue sticks work only with 3M glue guns.

Adhesives that take longer to harden are suited for applications that require some repositioning, because the longer open times allow for more adjustment. For high-volume applications, adhesives with a lower viscosity flow faster than other hot-melt adhesives.

3750LM, 3762LM, and 3792LM are low-temperature formulations, which work well on delicate or heat-sensitive materials.

3762 and 3762LM are high-tack adhesives; they bond quickly with light pressure.
