OFFSET to AF-163-2 by 3M™
3M™ AF-163-2 was designed as a 250F cure adhesive film with versatile cure cycles from 180F to 300F. It is used for both laminate and honeycomb core structures. The original formula has good adaptability to many bonding procedures and materials, and has thus found its way into a wide range of qualified applications. Mako’s updated formulation carries many of the same traits to allow for wide adoption – yet is PFAS-free, with more benign chemistry, lower MOQ, shorter lead time, and easy procurement.
Mako Advanced Materials can share test data, Technical Data Sheet, SDS, and samples with companies interested in learning more about a short lead time, low MOQ replacement for HT424® film adhesive. Contact us today!
