3M™ Scotch-Weld™ One-Part Epoxy Adhesives 6101 and 6102 help tackle the curing bottleneck with precise, strong bonds and seals that enable ambitious designs.

GERMANTOWN, WI, UNITED STATES, April 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Ellsworth Adhesives, a global distributor of adhesives, specialty chemicals, and dispensing equipment, announced today a collaboration with 3M to support the demand for 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ One-Part Epoxy Adhesives 6101 and 6102. These innovative solutions for bonding and sealing are poised to help expand electronic design capabilities and manufacturing efficiency worldwide.

So far, multiple electronics manufacturers have already seen massive benefits by switching to these new one-parts. One manufacturer has already 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.

These one-part epoxies deliver crucial improvements over their predecessors with key benefits including:

• 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.
