Works on a Wide Variety of Similar and Dissimilar Substrates 3M™ Polyurethane Adhesive Sealant 550 Fast Cure (PDF, 371.52 Kb) is part of 3M 500 Series one-component, moisture-curing, urethane adhesives. These adhesives create a permanently elastic bond and bond strongly a variety of substrates such as wood, fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) and many other plastics to themselves, to metal and to glass. 3M moisture-curing formula cures by reacting with moisture in the air or the substrate. In addition to spraying, they can also be extruded from hand held or bench mounted applicators and are primarily dispensed with bulk application equipment. 3M one-part polyurethane adhesives work well for bonding a wide variety of plastics including polystyrene and polyacrylic. They are also effective on a wide variety of other substrates - from aluminum and glass to plastic and wood.

Paintable after Skin Forms for Improved Appearance 3M™ Polyurethane Adhesive Sealant 550 offers an alternative to mechanical fasteners and can replace rivets in some applications. It will bond dissimilar substrates and a wide selection of materials. This adhesive will perform in temperatures ranging from -40°F/-40°C to 194°F/90°C. Once skin forms (60-90 minutes), the sealant can be painted to improve the final finish.
