We developed 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Adhesive Primer EC-1290 as a sprayable primer to promote long-term durability for joints in metal bonding applications. This solvent-based adhesive primer is especially effective with 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Adhesive Films AF 6, AF 10 and AF 13. Our easy-to-apply formula dries at ambient temperature and can also be heat cured.
The Primer Difference
3M™ Scotch Weld™ Structural Adhesive Primer EC 1290 contains no intentionally added hexavalent chromium. Additionally, this primer provides 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 1290 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 film to the substrate, and 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.
