Foam Adhesive 100
Fast-tacking contact adhesive to hold seams and curves in seconds
• 20-minute bonding range for
repositioning after initial tack to meet
various assembly requirements
• Foam-tearing strength after
complete setting (foam fails before
the bond line)
• High solids for more economical use
of adhesive (up to 4x more coverage
than a typical solvent-based product)
• Non-dimpling, soft bond line for
finished product aesthetics and a
smoother, more comfortable feel
• Spray at low pressure to reduce
misting and overspray
For easy bullnose fabrication in a compound cushion, 3M

bonds a lighter density foam around a higher density core. High tack holds in seconds.
Neoprene-based formulation bonds
leather to foam with foam-tearing

Foam
Adhesive 100 to bond foam to foam
and fiber fill, foam to wood, fiber
fill to fabric, and more in bedding,
furniture, upholstery, and other
applications. Hold foam to foam in 15
seconds or bond immediately when
used with activator.
Basis: Two spray applied knife edge pinch bonds were made with 1.2 lb/cu ft density
polyurethane foam cut into 4 inch cubes, one 4" x 4" face of each foam cube was bonded
to itself 30 seconds after application using approximately 5 seconds of manually applied hand
and finger pressure, the bonded foam cubes were then dried 24 hours at 70°F ambient
conditions, the bonded specimens then placed in a heated oven for a period of 24 hours at
various temperatures. Heat resistance, as indicated here, is the highest temperature measured
at which the seams of both specimens held together and showed no visual evidence of failure
anywhere along the seams.
