The rail industry demands adhesive solutions that offer both strength and flexibility to withstand the vibrations, shocks and temperature variations characteristic of these environments. that offer both strength and flexibility to withstand the vibrations, impacts and temperature variations characteristic of these environments. The 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ DP8610NS structural adhesive is an innovative product that excels in this regard, providing an advanced solution for a wide variety of applications.

Why is 3M™ DP8610 adhesive ideal for the rail industry?

  • Unparalleled flexibility: Its elongation capacity of more than 200% allows it to adapt to the movements and vibrations typical of the railway environment, ensuring durable joints resistant to mechanical stresses.
  • Structural strength: Despite its flexibility, DP8610 offers exceptional mechanical strength, capable of withstanding high loads and extreme conditions. In addition, it relieves stresses caused by different coefficients of thermal expansion.
  • Certified safety: The DP8610NS complies with the fire and smoke standard for trains EN45545, which guarantees its safe behavior in case of fire, contributing to the protection of passengers and equipment.
  • Versatility: Adheres effectively to a wide variety of materials, with minimal surface preparation, including slightly oily surfaces, simplifying manufacturing and repair processes.
  • Aesthetic finish: Minimizes visibility of bond lines and cure shrinkage to allow the use of thinner panels, improving the overall appearance of rail vehicles.

Railway Applications of the 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ DP8610NS

The flexibility and strength of the DP8610 make it ideal for a multitude of applications in the railway sector, among which we can highlight:

  • Noise and Vibration Absorption: DP8610 provides excellent damping capacity, which helps to significantly reduce noise and vibrations generated during train operation. In addition, its high strength and durability ensure a robust and durable bond between components, improving stability and passenger comfort.
  • Panel Joining: In railcar and train manufacturing, DP8610 is used to join panels of different materials, such as steel, aluminum and composites, ensuring a strong and flexible joint.
  • Component Repair: Due to its fast cure and easy application, DP8610 is an effective solution for repairing damaged components such as coatings, structures and ventilation systems.
  • Sound Insulation: The ability of DP8610 to form flexible, airtight joints makes it an excellent choice for the application of sound insulation materials in railcars and trains.
  • Joint Sealing: DP8610 can be used to seal joints and seams, preventing the ingress of moisture, dust and other contaminants.

Additional Benefits

  • Structural Adhesion with the Flexibility of a Sealant: The DP8610 provides the performance of a structural adhesive (fast cure time, high mechanical strength and excellent aging) with the versatility of a sealant (flexibility, watertightness, noise and vibration absorption).
  • Safety and Sustainability: DP8610 is a low volatile organic compound (VOC) emitting product, making it safe for use in enclosed environments and reducing environmental impact.
  • Ease of Use: Its mixing and curing time is fast, which speeds up the production and repair processes.

In summary, 3M DP8610 is a high performance structural adhesive that offers an innovative solution for the diverse needs of the railway industry. Its combination of flexibility, strength and ease of use makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, contributing to the construction of more durable, safer and more efficient vehicles.
