3M helps set new Guinness World Record
3M has helped set a new Guinness World Record for the heaviest weight lifted with adhesive.
Rubber Instant Adhesive PR100. Matt Jubb of 3M’s industrial adhesives and tapes division explains: “3M has long been
S
known for its expertise in adhesives and we’re excited that this demonstration proved just how strong and reliable Scotch-Weld Instant Adhesives can be.” The vehicle lift was conducted by engineers Jens Schoene and Dr. Markus Schleser of
RWTH Aachen University, and was featured on the German television programme Terra Xpress. Guinness World Records adjudicator Olaf Kuchenbecker was on hand to witness the lift and certify the new record. The team had to meet several formidable conditions to break the previous record of 8.01 metric tonnes, but succeeded thanks to the exceptional performance of Scotch-Weld Instant Adhesive. 3M says that while the new world record shows the product’s incredible strength in
an extreme application, Scotch-Weld Instant Adhesives are also economical to use in everyday applications. Generally, only a few drops of adhesive are needed to develop
strong bonds to many metals, plastics and rubber. These super fast curing adhesives reach handling strength with hundreds of material combinations in five to ten seconds, and reach 80% of their full strength in an hour. Additional qualities like low odour, high temperature resistance and flexibility to resist vibration make them simple and practical to use for almost unlimited applications. The record breaking Scotch-Weld Plastic & Rubber Instant Adhesive PR100 is part of the full range of Scotch-Weld Instant Adhesives by 3M, which are available in a number of formulations for bonding various substrates.
