3M 7000046480 Epoxy Adhesive 2216 Translucent 1 Gallon Kit

Product Description

The 3M 7000046480 is a two-part flexible epoxy adhesive sold as a 1-gallon kit containing one gallon of Part B and one gallon of Part A, mixed at a 1:1 ratio. It cures at room temperature and delivers high-strength bonds with strong performance in both shear and peel applications. Work life is approximately 120 minutes, with handling strength reached in approximately 10 hours. The translucent cured finish makes it suitable for assemblies where bond-line appearance matters. Licensed contractors and industrial maintenance technicians working in HVAC, plumbing, and general fabrication environments are the primary installers.

This adhesive is formulated for bonding rubber, metal, wood, most plastics, and masonry products. It is well suited to residential and light commercial service scenarios where a flexible, room-temperature-cure bond with good environmental resistance is required. Typical applications include component assembly, panel bonding, and repair of mixed-material assemblies where rigid adhesives would crack under vibration or thermal cycling.

Key Features

• 1:1 mix ratio simplifies metering and reduces mix errors
• 120-minute work life allows time for fixture alignment before cure sets
• Handling strength achieved in approximately 10 hours at room temperature
• Flexible cured film resists cracking under vibration and thermal cycling
• Bonds rubber, metal, wood, most plastics, and masonry
• Good environmental resistance for indoor and light outdoor service conditions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style two-part epoxy adhesive suitable for bonding dissimilar materials including rubber, metal, wood, most plastics, and masonry in general trade and industrial maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical — clean, dry, and degrease all substrates before applying adhesive. Measure and mix Part A and Part B at a 1:1 ratio by volume and blend thoroughly before application. Keep the adhesive away from open flame during mixing and application, and ensure adequate ventilation per local safety codes. Do not disturb bonded assemblies until handling strength is reached at approximately 10 hours post-application.
