3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Adhesives Primer EC-2174

3M™ Scotch Weld™ Structural Adhesive Primer EC 2174 helps ensure complete wetting of the film adhesive system to bonding surfaces and improves durability of the film adhesive. The EC 2174 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 31. When cured with a 350°F adhesive film, it helps promote long term durability for bonded metal joints. EC 2174 retains high shear strength to 500°F (260°C) on 17 17PH stainless steel when used with Scotch Weld AF 31.

Promoting Corrosion Control
Our formula provides corrosion protection inside the bondline. And to make matters easier, EC 2174 heat cures to form a protective coating against corrosion. When cured at 250°F, EC 2174 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 2174 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 2174 also offers these benefits:

• Excellent corrosion protection


• Robust mechanical performance


• Impressive hot/wet durability


• Serves 350°F co cure requirements


• Sprayable, brush or roller application for a variety of process options

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.
