SikaFast 3121 Methacrylate Structural Adhesive Drum

More About SikaFast 3121 Part A Drums

SikaFast 3121 drums hold the Part A component of a two-part, fast-curing structural methacrylate adhesive system utilizing methyl methacrylate (MMA) technology. Designed to be combined with SikaFast 3081 N Activator (Part B) in a 10:1 mix ratio, this adhesive is available in a 45-gallon drum for large-scale, high-strength bonding applications.

With an open time of 5 minutes, it is ideal for high-throughput production processes, offering superior adhesion to metals and fiber-reinforced polymers. The thixotropic, non-sagging formulation ensures precise application on vertical and overhead surfaces, providing a reliable alternative to traditional mechanical fasteners like rivets or screws. It is available in Dark Gray and Straw and is made for demanding applications that require durability, flexibility, and impact resistance.

SikaFast 3121 Part A is perfect for large-scale bonding applications in combination with its activator. It can bond metals and reinforced polymers and replaces mechanical fasteners in automotive, industrial, and construction settings.
