3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive DP125, Translucent, 48.5 mL Duo-Pak
A low-odor, two-part epoxy structural adhesive designed to create strong and flexible bonds on metal, ceramics, glass, wood, stone and many plastics. Its 25-minute work life provides time to position and adjust components before the adhesive reaches handling strength.
Why choose DP125?
- Strong and flexible: creates structural bonds while helping accommodate expansion, contraction and limited movement.
- Low odor: suitable for industrial bonding work where a lower-odor formulation is preferred.
- Longer positioning time: provides up to 25 minutes of work life for adjustment and repositioning.
- Controlled dispensing: medium viscosity flows smoothly and helps minimize dripping, running and migration.
- Translucent finish: creates a less visually prominent bond than opaque gray or black adhesives.
Designed for demanding bonding
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ DP125 is intended for structural bonding and general attachment applications where both mechanical strength and flexibility are important.
Bonding dissimilar materials
DP125 is especially useful when joining materials with different coefficients of thermal expansion. Its flexible epoxy bond can help maintain adhesion as bonded materials expand, contract or experience limited movement.
Recommended substrates
Common industry applications
Appliance assembly
Useful for general attachment and structural bonding where substrates may experience vibration or thermal movement.
General industrial
Designed for industrial joining, mounting, bonding and small joint assembly applications.
Transportation
Flexible structural bonding can help accommodate limited movement, vibration and differences between joined materials.
Signs and design materials
Suitable for general attachment and bonding work involving metal, plastic, glass, wood and other materials.
Duo-Pak dispensing system
This 48.5 mL package is a 3M Duo-Pak cartridge containing the two adhesive components in a 1:1 ratio. Use a compatible 3M dispensing system recommended for DP-size structural adhesives to meter and mix the components accurately.
Proper dispensing helps maintain the specified mix ratio and supports consistent bond performance from the beginning to the end of the cartridge.
Application guidance
Prepare the surfaces
Surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free from oil, dust, loose material and other contamination.
Dispense and mix
Use compatible Duo-Pak dispensing equipment and a suitable mixing system to maintain the 1:1 ratio.
Position the parts
Apply sufficient adhesive for the joint and use the approximately 25-minute work life to align and reposition the components.
Allow the bond to cure
The adhesive reaches handling strength in approximately 150 minutes and is fully cured in approximately 7 days under stated room-temperature conditions.
Safety information
Read the product label and Safety Data Sheet before use. The SDS identifies skin and eye irritation hazards and the possibility of an allergic skin reaction for the adhesive components.
Avoid breathing vapours or fumes. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Wear suitable protective gloves and eye protection, wash exposed skin after handling, and follow all applicable workplace safety requirements.
For industrial and occupational use only. Not for consumer sale or use.
