Product Description 3M? Scotch-Weld? Epoxy Adhesive 2216 B/A is a flexible, two-part, room
temperature curing epoxy with high peel and shear strength. Scotch-Weld epoxy
adhesive 2216 B/A is identical to 3M? Scotch-Weld? Epoxy Adhesive EC-2216
B/A in chemical composition. Scotch-Weld epoxy adhesive EC-2216 B/A has been
labeled, packaged, tested, and certified for aircraft and aerospace applications.
Scotch-Weld epoxy adhesive 2216 B/A may be used for aircraft and aerospace
applications if proper Certificates of Test have been issued and material meets all
aircraft manufacturer’s specification requirements.
Features ? Excellent for bonding many metals, woods, plastics, rubbers, and masonry products.
? Base and Accelerator are contrasting colors.
? Good retention of strength after environmental aging.
? Resistant to extreme shock, vibration, and flexing.
? Excellent for cryogenic bonding applications.
? The tan NS Adhesive is non-sag for greater bondline control.
? The translucent can be injected.
? Meets DOD-A-82720.
