3M™ 590 is a single-component, fast-curing polyurethane adhesive sealant with high viscosity, specifically developed for structural glazing applications in vehicles and other applications requiring high strength. The product meets the requirements of the FMVSS 212 crash test and allows for drive-away time after just 3 hours. With a 30-minute skinning time, it provides ample time for precise positioning of components before curing.

Benefits and Properties
✅ High bond strength – durable connection of glass components to the structural frame
✅ Fast curing – reduced assembly time, drive-away time after 3 hours
✅ Suitable for structural applications – meets FMVSS 212 safety standards
✅ Excellent adhesion to glass and metal – no need for multiple primers
✅ Ability to precisely position components – 30-minute working window
✅ Ideal for manual or automated application
Application Guidelines
Ensure surfaces are properly prepared – clean, dry, and degreased. Apply evenly using a cartridge gun. After application, you have approximately 30 minutes to position the glass. The adhesive achieves road safety parameters 3 hours after application (FMVSS 212), under standard curing conditions.
