We developed 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Adhesive Primer EC-2333 for improved adhesion and to promote long-term durability for joints in metal bonding applications. This solvent-based specialized adhesive primer is especially effective with 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Adhesive AF 130-2 and AF 143-2.
3M™ Scotch Weld™ Structural Adhesive Primer EC 2333 helps ensure complete wetting of the film adhesive system to bonding surfaces and improves durability of the film adhesive. The EC 2333 provides a high degree of protection against corrosive environments, both inside and outside the adhesive bondline, and is designed for optimal performance when used with 3M™ Scotch Weld™ Bonding Films, particularly the nitrile phenolic Scotch Weld AF 130 2 and AF 143 2. When cured with a 350°F adhesive film, it helps promote long term durability for bonded metal joints. EC 2333 retains high shear strength to 400°F 204°C when used with Scotch Weld AF 130 2 and AF 143 2.
Promoting Corrosion Control
Our formula provides corrosion protection inside the bondline. And to make matters easier, EC 2333 heat cures to form a protective coating against corrosion. When dried at 160°F, EC 2333 provides a solvent resistant coating for long term durable protection. The stable coating also protects etched and anodized substrates for long term storage.
The Primer Difference
3M™ Scotch Weld™ Structural Adhesive Primer EC 2333 helps protect surfaces against corrosion. Additionally, this primer can help improve production rates by offering high transfer efficiency for less overspray waste and quick flash off for no wait time between passes. Let our unparalleled technical service and support show you how this primer can make a difference to your primer line. 3M™ Scotch Weld™ Structural Adhesive Primer EC 2333 also offers these benefits:
Primed for Take Off
In general, 3M Scotch Weld™ structural adhesive primers complement the Scotch Weld™ Structural Adhesives portfolio and can be used to protect prepared substrates to be bonded. They facilitate "wet out" of the primary adhesive agent to facilitate the bond between substrate and coating extrudate, and then are cured to enhance chemical resistance. Our adhesive primers help prepare the surfaces for the bonding agents and improve the conditions so that the adhesives are more effective and create stronger, longer lasting bonds.
