Ellsworth Adhesives, a global distributor of adhesives, specialty chemicals, and dispensing equipment, recently announced a collaboration with 3M to support the demand for 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ One-Part Epoxy Adhesives 6101 and 6102. These bonding and sealing solutions are poised to help expand electronic design capabilities and manufacturing efficiency worldwide.

So far, multiple electronics manufacturers have seen the benefits of switching to these new epoxy adhesives, including a manufacturer that has saved millions of dollars by improving throughput and cutting down on work-in-progress materials.

“Manufacturers who recognize that high-performing adhesives can enable new manufacturing strategies may be better poised to thrive in the new electronics landscape,” said Ellsworth Adhesives Vice President of Sales Jay Richardson.

The 3M Scotch-Weld one-part epoxy adhesives 6101 and 6102 offer these key benefits:

• High impact resistance against drops and falls
• Room temperature working life of around four weeks
• Thixotropic viscosity for precision dispensing thin bond lines
• Low-heat curing options to easily bond sensitive components
• Snap-cure options to increase throughput
• Reliable water-resistant sealing capabilities

“In today’s highly competitive electronics manufacturing market, leaders and engineers want to streamline their assembly process without compromising on quality,” Richardson said. “Each minute saved in curing time, each simplification in the bonding process, translates directly to competitive advantage for electronics assembly.”

This collaboration builds on Ellsworth Adhesives’ existing specialty chemical distribution channels across the United States and Canada with investments in additional freezer space to stock these epoxies. Ellsworth’s commitment also includes specification support, validation testing, and other value-added services.
