In an interview with 3M, Dr Antonio Pagliuca (3M Adhesive Expert) explained what is so special about the two-part high-performance acrylic adhesive:

"DP 8407 NS has been especially optimized as an adhesive for metals. The product is oil tolerant, elastic and contains a corrosion inhibitor. DP 8407 NS is therefore suitable not only for use on coated metals and unalloyed steels but also for bonding galvanized surfaces. Bonding these materials with conventional may cause corrosion and adhesion issues."

The 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Metal Bonder Acrylic Adhesive DP8407NS bonds to a variety of materials (especially bare metals such as aluminum, cold rolled steel, galvanized steel, copper, brass and bronze) while resisting corrosion. This structural adhesive can even bond slightly oily metal with minimal to no surface preparation. It provides excellent bond strength and impact resistance, even at temperatures down to -40F (-40C).

Typical applications include:

Mounting and Trim Attachment, Steel bonding, Metal Bonding, Structural Bonding, Aluminum bonding, Small Joint Assembly
