3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Retaining Compounds


Retaining Compounds

3M’s Scotch-Weld Retaining Compounds are ideal for bonding parts such as bearings, shafts, hubs and bolts. The result is a high strength bond which prevents fretting and protects against loosening and corrosion. The adhesives can also give additional strength and security to shrink fit joints.

Other benefits of retaining compound products include:

  • Increases the load bearing characteristics of cylindrical joints
  • Reduces assembly stresses
  • Lowers machining costs
  • Range of strengths and viscosities to meet demanding engineering specifications.
