3M 7100315353 Foam Contact Adhesive 5 Gallon Pail

Product Description

The 3M 7100315353 is a water-based synthetic elastomer contact adhesive formulated to bond foam and fabric to a wide range of substrates. Sold in a 5-gallon pail, it is designed for production and service environments where flammability is a concern. The adhesive is non-flammable and low-VOC, meeting California Air Resources Board and SCAQMD requirements. It delivers medium tack with a strong final bond and a transparent, clean appearance after cure. Application is flexible: it can be sprayed or applied by brush or roller. Full cure is reached in 24 hours at 72 degrees F. It is well suited to upholstery fabricators, automotive trim shops, and general industrial assembly operations.

This adhesive is used across automotive, furniture, marine, and general industrial applications. Typical use cases include fastening headliner and ceiling systems, upholstery attachment, and seating fabrication. Its water-based formula and non-flammable classification make it appropriate for shops with ventilation or fire-code restrictions that rule out solvent-based products. The thin liquid physical form allows consistent coverage with standard spray equipment, brushes, or rollers on both porous and semi-porous substrates.
