We developed 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Core Splice Film AF 3024 as a low density, thermally expanding core splice adhesive film designed for filling mismatched areas or reinforcing and splicing honeycomb core. With its 250% expansion rate this core splice film can effectively join significantly mismatched honeycomb structures.
Ready to Fly
We balance 3M™ Scotch Weld™ Structural Core Splice Film AF 3024 properties to provide excellent performance with easy to use shop handling characteristics. Our heat curing, easy handling film is designed to meet numerous customer specs in aerospace manufacturing and MRO. Its high expansion (250%) allows for successful joining of significantly mismatched honeycomb structures and its low sag during cure helps eliminate the need for rework.
3M™ Scotch Weld™ Structural Core Splice Film AF 3024 will cure at a range of temperatures from 250°F (121°C) to 350°F (176°C). This variable cure rate combined with the film's easy handling gives you flexibility to design efficient processes. Even at slow heat up rates as low as .5°F/minute, AF 3024 still reaches full expansion.
