Automix Panel Bond Adhesive

The 3M 08115 Automix Panel Bond Adhesive is a high-performance, two-component epoxy adhesive engineered for robust automotive panel bonding. It effectively bonds a wide range of substrates including steel, aluminum, SMC, and FRP (traditional fiberglass), making it ideal for repairs and replacements of components like quarter panels, roof skins, bedsides, van sides, utility vehicle sides, and door skins. This adhesive offers a continuous bond and seals weld and rivet-bonded areas against corrosion, contributing to the longevity of repairs. Its formulation includes corrosion inhibitors and glass bead technology to ensure optimal bond line thickness, preventing excessive squeeze-out and facilitating consistent application. The adhesive provides an extended work-time of up to two hours, with the option for heat-assisted curing for on-demand hardening. It is designed for application using specific 3M applicator guns, such as the 3M 8117 manual gun or the 3M 8571 cartridge applicator gun for 200 mL cartridges. When used as specified, this automotive panel bond adhesive is reported to be stronger than a weld. 3M backs this product with a lifetime warranty for performance as advertised. It is important to note that this product is intended for industrial/occupational use only and is not for consumer sale or use.
