3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive DP460 is a high-performance, two-component epoxy.
It is formulated for industrial applications requiring high mechanical strength, durability, and chemical and environmental resistance.
Its off-white, medium-to-high viscosity formulation provides a good balance of stiffness and toughness, ideal for bonding metals, composites, and rigid substrates.
DP460 is designed for manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance environments where dynamic stress, vibration, and thermal variations are present.
Recommended for:
- Structural metal assemblies such as stainless steel, aluminum (etched or sandblasted), cold-rolled steel, copper, and brass.
- Bonding composite materials such as fiberglass (GRP), ABS, polycarbonate, rigid PVC, and acrylic.
- Machinery frames where toughness and high strength are required
- Industrial equipment
- Automotive structural bonding
When to choose it
3M™ DP460 is ideal for OEMs, mechanical engineers, MRO personnel, and industrial procurement teams evaluating structural adhesive solutions for metals and composites.
It's ideal when you need:
- High static and dynamic load capacity
- Vibration and impact resistance
- Reliable long-term bonds in industrial environments
- A structural alternative to rivets, screws, and welds
Technical features and benefits for industrial applications
- High structural strength for mechanical and load-bearing joints
- Excellent impact and fatigue resistance
