Structural adhesive film AF 163-2L 030WT 36 in x 50 yards 3M TM Scotch-WeldTM

Structural adhesive film AF 163-2L 030WT 36 in x 50 yards 3M TM Scotch-WeldTM. Our structural adhesive film 3MTM Scotch-WeldTM AF 163-2 encompasses a family of thermosetting modified epoxy adhesives in film form that provides long-term durability and meets the specific challenges for the construction of solid metal and composite panels and honeycomb sandwiches, where high fracture resistance and peeling strength is required.

Supply: 5 to 10 working days

CHARACTERISTICS

• Designed for curing at 250 °F (120 °C)
• The adhesive can be cured from 180 °F (80 °C) to 300 °F (150 °C)
• Excellent handling characteristics in the workshop.
• Excellent moisture performance prior to bonding in composite substrates.
• Not compatible version available for cross-linking.
• High fracture toughness and peeling resistance

BENEFITS

3MTM Scotch-WeldTM Structural Adhesive Film AF 163-2 provides excellent performance with easy to use workshop handling properties. These adhesive films are available in a variety of weights and carriers to meet a variety of needs without imposing excessive material costs. With high fracture toughness and peel resistance, AF 163-2 provides a reliable long-term bond suitable for composite materials, solid panel metals and honeycomb sandwich manufacturing. We also offer a non-compatible version, which can be used for networking. It also supports multiple substrates and prints. In addition, AF 163-2 exhibits excellent moisture performance before bonding in composite substrates.

APPLICATIONS

Our easy-to-use, heat-cured film is designed to meet numerous customer specifications in aerospace manufacturing. AF 163-2 provides high fracture toughness and peel resistance across a spectrum of environmental conditions and is easy to work with. Once cured, it provides a high binding strength of -67 °F to 250 °F (-55 °C to 121 °C) for use in multiple designs across multiple environments.

TECHNICAL DATA

What is structural adhesive film?
The fewer rivets you have on your plane, the better. Structural adhesive films allow the designer to be more innovative with their parts and reduce the total number of rivets needed in their structure. This modified thermosetting epoxy in film form can be used to bond a wide variety of substrates, including metal, honeycomb and composites. Structural adhesive films come in a variety of weights and thicknesses, which minimizes weight and maintains structural integrity.

The films are available in compatible versions, which are usually used for monolithic bonding or honeycomb sandwich. They are also available in unsupported form for honeycomb cross-linking. These films can be cured from temperatures as low as 180 °F to 350 °F. Because these films dirty less and do not require mixing, they offer efficiencies in the design process. They're easier to use than typical paste adhesives.
