3M Assembly Solutions: Epoxy Adhesive Demonstrating Strength

Watch as we demonstrate the strength of 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive by lifting 14,550 pounds of shipping container under extreme conditions for 18+ hours.​ ​It begs the question: "Will it hold?"​ ​Visit 3M.com/assembysolutions for more information and to see how 3M Industrial Adhesives and Tapes can solve your assembly challenge.

This epoxy is I used it to fill in some small imperfections in an aluminum parts inner walls, then machined it. Amazing stuff absolutely recommend it.

holy shit that is some strong ass adhesive

Is it still hanging? Must be a heck of a bill for that rental crane.

From a European and Irish point of view, why do use 14, 550 lbs, why not use 6.5 Ton, you don't buy a car for 2, 000, 000 cents do you, you buy it for 20, 000 Dollars/Euro or sterling, Lowest Common Multiple, learned at age 7-8 in school. Otherwise I like the Video. Thanks

I want to apply on fastners in large quantity. Procedure to apply.

[edbarry]

what about temperature way temp does it have be use on truck fenders

[thtcuns]

Tell me again how thick the layer of adhesive is.

[filipdopirak]

Yes that is static load but how about dinamic load?

[hazelcruz]

Which onwe would be good for body kit for car? I dont want to drill holes in the car is there a 3m one specific for cars or fiberglass? Thanks.

Go stand under it if you trust the product

"Applied a thin layer" to the couplings??
Seriously? Thin? And the Titanic hit a ice cube 🙄

It is only a weight of 14, 400 / 4 and that is 3, 600 per block which looks to be a surface area of 8"(d)x Pi= 25sq/in + 1"x8" flange= 33 full surface adhesion area or only a weight of 42 pounds per sq/inch Not a crazy number. imagine a well supported cross member with a 1 sq/in" glue Big deal. Also remember that aluminum & stainless have a 30% greater adhesion than polymers & glass. even less sometimes for wood. Hi end film adhesives can reach over 3000 pounds tensile per square inch.

This testing strategy is gimmick marketing.
Show us 1million automated test results under different durations, materials, environments. Give us the papers.

wrong ADV:
1) you talk to world you should talk also KG not just LBs
2) you did not describe what this glue :D innovative and amazing will be for what application or industry :D
I gave you valuable smart feedback and also it's free am so kind sometimes :D

[funnymoney]

Can you imagine putting that on someone’s butt checks?

Now let it hang until it actually decouples. How long will it last to failure? No need to lift over 1-2 inches for safety and budget reasons. I guess we were shown hour 18 because at 19 hours it will break free.
