Contact Adhesive 30NF
complies with California South Coast
Air Quality Management District
Rule 1168 requirements for contact
adhesives. For that reason and others,
Fastbond
™
Contact Adhesive 30NF
has been chosen for more than 40
years as a fast, powerful replacement
for solvent-based adhesives in a
variety of applications:
• Bond particle board, plywood,
plastic laminate and other rigid
materials in cabinet and
woodworking shops
and elsewhere.
• Bond EPS insulation
inside metal doors and
refrigeration units
• Secure rubber flooring
in buses and headliners
in boats
• Bond fabric to drywall
and felt to wood in
speakers
The fast, high strength water-based pioneer
One-part for spray, roller,
or brush application
For these and other applications, 30NF
combines multiple advantages for
productivity and end use reliability:
• Long bonding range of up to 4 hours
for assembly at your own pace
• High immediate bond strength for fast
throughput
• Ultimate shear strength of 480 psi
for reliability exceeding many
solvent-based adhesives
• High solids for more
economical use of adhesive
(up to 3.5x more coverage
than a typical solvent-based
product)
• Heat-activatable for fast
post forming
• Heat resistance meets the
test standards in the Manual
of Millwork of the
Woodwork Institute of
California
For compliance and productivity, now is
the time to switch from solvent-based
adhesives to water-based.
OSHA, EPA and many local and regional
regulations are increasing the pressure
to reduce solvent use. And fire insurance
rates are increasing.
3M has the track record and powerful
technologies for compliance plus
productivity, bonding performance,
and cost savings.
• No nPB or methylene chloride
solvents, eliminating the time and
work of managing a controlled
substance
• High solids content for cost-effective
high coverage, bonding more
square footage for less money
• Non-flammable in the wet state
for easy storage without fireproof
cabinets
• Dries fast without solvent odor,
helping improve worker comfort
and thus productivity
• Choice of formulations that bond
fast and strong with a wide variety
of substrates
• Choice of spray (including low
maintenance gravity feed), roller,
or brush application to meet
production requirements
