3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Adhesive Primer EW-5000 is our sprayable, heat curing, epoxy based structural adhesive aerospace primer containing a corrosion inhibiting package that provides protection against corrosive environments. We developed this water-borne solution to deliver comparable performance to solvent based products giving customers more choices in their respective processes.
Paired with the 3M™ PPS™ Paint Preparation System, this structural bonding primer provides comparable performance to traditional solvent-based options 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Adhesive Primer EW-5000 meets multiple customer specs in the aerospace industry. It dries evenly in ambient temperatures and can be handled prior to the bake cycle, which improves shop handling over competitive solvent-based systems. Let our technical service and support show you how this water-borne primer can make a difference for you.
In addition to the benefits that EW-5000 provides, it offers these additional features: - Excellent corrosion protection
- Robust mechanical performance
- Impressive hot/wet durability
- Can be used as a stand-alone corrosion resistant coating
- Fewer spray passes save time and lead to faster throughout
Primed for Take-off In general, 3M Scotch-Weld™ structural adhesive primers complement the 3MScotch Weld™ Structural Adhesives portfolio and can be used to protect prepared substrates to be bonded. They facilitate "wet-out" of the primary adhesive film to the substrate, and are cured to enhance chemical resistance. Our adhesive primers help prepare the surfaces for the bonding agents and improve the conditions so that the adhesives are more effective and create stronger, longer lasting bonds.
