3M™ Scotch-Weld™ AF 3074 FST Structural Core Splice Film Preliminary Technical Data Sheet Product Description 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ AF (Adhesive Film) 3074 FST (Fire Smoke and Toxicity) is an epoxy based, 250°F to 350°F (120°C to 180°C) curable, structural core splice adhesive film which expands during cure. AF 3074 FST was designed for typical aircraft applications in interior and structural areas, e.g. filling mismatch areas or reinforcing and splicing honeycomb core. Key Features
- High and repeatable expansion rate
- Flame retardant acc. FAR/JAR/CS 25.853(a) App F, part I(a)(1)(ii).
- Compatible with 250°F and 350°F (120°C to 180°C) cure cycles
- Wide in- service temperature range from -67°F up to 275°F (-55°C up to 135°C)

3M™ Scotch-Weld™ AF 3074 FST Product Characterization The following product performance data were obtained with the 50 mil version of Scotch -Weld™ AF 3074 FST using two different cure cycles:
- Cure Cycle A: 60 minutes at 257°F (125°C), heat-up rate 5-7°F/min (3-4°C/min), atmospheric pressure
- Cure Cycle B: 30 minutes at 320°F (160°C), hot-in/hot-out, atmospheric pressure Properties of Cured Film Cure Cycle A Cure Cycle B Test Method Expansion during cure ~ 225 % ~ 125 % prEN 2667-3 Vertical slump 0.02 in (0,6 mm) 0.01 in (0,3 mm) prEN 2667-4 Density of cured film(a) < 0.50 g/cm³ ---- ---- (a) free expansion Tube Shear Strength The tube shear strength was determined on ScotchWeld™ AF 3074 FST using the procedu res outlined in prEN 2667-2. 55g ± 0.2g were placed between the walls of two 9in (230mm) long tubes. After curing under atmospheric pressure, the tubes were cut to individual specimens of 0.5in (12.5mm) height. Tube shear resistance was calculated by the following formula: σ [MPa] = F ÷ πdinnerh Outer and inner tubes: 12.5 mm height, aluminum alloy 5052-0 bare. Outer tube: diameter 25.0 mm, thickness 1.25 mm. Inner tube: diameter 12.5 mm, thickness 1.25 mm. Tube shear strength prEN 2667-2 Test temperature Cure Cycle A -67°F (-55°C)

Precautionary Information Refer to product label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for health and safety information before using this product. For SDS visit our website https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/SDS-search/. II. Instructions for Use A. Surface Preparation A thoroughly cleaned, dry, grease-free surface is essential for maximum performance. For repeatable behavior and results the material and the substrates should be in the range of 68-77°F (20-25°C) object temperature. Caution: Use adequate respiratory, eye and skin protection when using etch solutions. B. Film Application Care must be taken when handling AF 3074 FST at low temperatures because it can easily crack. Warm AF 3074 FST to ambient conditions in the sealed package to prevent moisture condensation o n the adhesive surface. 1. Cut portion of film to be used with protective liners in place 2. Remove liner from one side of the film. 3. Place film using the remaining liner as a protective cover. 4. Avoid air entrapments between film and the surface. On metal surfaces, for example, the film can be rolled into position with a rubber roller 5. Remove second protective liner 6. Assemble parts and cure
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ AF 3074 FST C. Suggested Cure Cycle Normally, AF 3074 FST will begin to cure when a temperature of about 230-239°F (110-115°C) is reached. A minimum cure temperature of 248°F (120°C) is suggested to effect a full cure in reasonable time, e.g. 60 minutes. NOTE: The curing cycle will have an influence on the expansion ratio. D. Storage This product has a shelf life of 6 months from date of manufacturing in the sealed protective bag. At least 5 out of these 6 months, the product must be stored at 0°F (-18°C) or below. Accordingly, the maximum shelf life at room temperature is 1 months in the sealed protective bag. Our data i ndicate, that no loss in mechanical properties is obtained after 20 days storage at room temperature outside the protective bag. The liners should be removed immediately before use only, in order to slow down moisture absorption. Additional Information 5714.
