Description
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ AF 163-3M 0.03 WT is a thermosetting modified epoxy structural adhesive film designed for demanding aerospace bonding applications. The adhesive film is used for bonding metal and composite structures, including solid-panel and honeycomb sandwich constructions, where high structural performance and durable bonding are required. The 0.03 WT designation identifies the adhesive weight of approximately 0.030 lb/ft². 3M's aerospace specification-support database specifically identifies AF 163-3M 0.03 WT as an aerospace film adhesive and lists it against multiple aerospace material specifications, including BMS 5-101N, Type II, Grade 5. AF 163-3M is used in aircraft and aerospace structural bonding applications where a controlled film adhesive format is preferred over liquid or paste adhesives. It is also referenced for applications involving honeycomb structures and composite assemblies.
