Bond Performance
Bond Strength = Adhesion + Cohesion
Adhesion = attraction between adhesive and substrates
Adhesion affected by substrate:
• Surface energy, surface prep, roughness,
contamination, additives
Adhesion affected by adhesive:
• Chemistry, cure speed, viscosity
Cohesion = internal strength of the adhesive
Cohesion affected by adhesive:
• Chemistry, crosslink density, modulus, tensile
strength, cure profile

10
16 March 2022
Mechanisms of Adhesion
Chemical
• Via molecular contact at the surface of the substrate
• Strongest mechanism of adhesion
• Primary interactions: metallic < covalent ≤ ionic
• Secondary interactions: van der Waals < hydrogen bonding < Lewis acid/base
Mechanical Interlocking
• Adhesive flows into the pores of the substrate’s surface – creating a “lock and key”
• Physical impediment to crack propagation at the interface
• An increase in the surface area – more contact = more interactions = higher strength
Diffusion
• Polymer in adhesive is capable of entangling with polymer in substrate
• Interface is created with entangled polymer chains (i.e., interpenetrating networks)
• Common with difficult-to-bond low surface energy materials (e.g., polypropylene)
Electrostatic
• Charged surface of the adhesive is drawn towards the oppositely charged substrate
• Most common in tape applications

Key Criteria for Adhesion
❑ Pick an adhesive with a surface tension less than the critical wetting tension
of the adherend
❑ At some time during the bonding operation the adhesive should have a
viscosity that is relatively low
❑ The adhesive and the adherend should be brought together in a rate and
manner that should assist in the displacement of any trapped air
❑ For a proper adhesive bond, weak boundary layers need to be removed
(surface prep)
Kinloch (1987)
The adhesive needs to completely wet out the adherends

Key Structural Terms
Work Life
Also called open time, pot life. The time you have between initially
mixing the adhesive and clamping your bond in place.
Time to
handling strength
Also called clamp time; initial cure time. The time it takes for the
adhesive to reach a minimum of 50 PSI (0.34 MPa) overlap shear
strength. Generally, after this time is reached you can remove the
clamps and proceed to the next manufacturing operation.
Full cure time
Time for adhesive to become fully cured at room temperature. This is
the point at which the parts can be tested.

3M PUR Adhesives
PUR adhesives are one-part moisture-curing formulations that
combine the initial speed of a hot melt adhesive with the strength
of a structural adhesive. Open times can be adjusted to suit your
process, and they have low to no Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOCs).
Material Bonding
Overview:
These adhesives bond well to metals, glass, ceramics,
wood and some plastics such as polystyrene and
polyacrylic.
Solidifies like a hot melt, and continues curing to reach
final structural strength, humidity required.
Performance:
• Rapidly reaches handling strength
• Invisible joints and smooth bond lines
• Prevents the migration of fluids, dust and dirt
PUR adhesives are excellent for
bonding materials such as wood or
plastic to themselves or to glass or
metal
Process Efficiency
Applied as a hot melt, PUR adhesives
rapidly cool down to handling
strength so they can be moved to
the next station
Strength
After cooling, PUR adhesives use
ambient moisture to continue curing
for hours to days while increasing in
strength
• Panel and stiffener bonding for
appliances – due to fast cure and
ability to gap fill
• Woodworking – offers
improvements over traditional
wood glue
• Electronics – due to fast curing
and viscoelasticity

Identifying Opportunities
• “Who is responsible for making design & process changes?”
• “What are the substrates that you are working with? How much surface prep are you able/
willing to do?”
• “Have you experienced production or re-work challenges in the past? Tell me more about that.”
• “What do you wish you could do differently or better about this part or assembly?”
• “Do you have any trouble staffing skilled welding & grinding positions? How much time is spent
finishing parts after welding?”
• “What part of your process do you have the hardest time training your operators on?”

Conclusion
• Adhesives can be a beneficial alternative to welding and mechanical fastening methods.
They can positively impact production efficiency, appearance, and performance.
• There are several markets and application types where structural adhesives can be used.
• 3M has 6 structural adhesive chemistries: epoxies, acrylics, urethanes, PURs, aerobics and
instants.
• There are 9 global Go To Products for structural adhesives.
• Work life, handling time and full cure time are key terms to understand for structural
adhesives
• 3M’s product nomenclature has meaning. For example, in DP420, “DP4xx” represents a
toughened epoxy and “20” is 20-minute work life.
• A framework to use when discussing bonding with customers is ASPEC.
