The brand name Scotch-Weld™ is based on aircraft company conclusions made in the early 1950's that this class of adhesive exhibited structural strength comparable to welding.
Additional Information
Proven strength and durability are why you'll find 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Adhesives being specified today in primary structures subjected to dynamic loading and sonic fatigue.
Since 3M introduced one-part structural paste adhesives in the 1950's and the first tough two-part formulations in the 1960's, 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ paste adhesives have been at work in many aerospace applications.
