3M Scotch-Weld 1300L Yellow Neoprene Rubber and Gasket Adhesive – Gallon for Production Bonding
3M Scotch-Weld 1300L is a high-performance, yellow neoprene contact adhesive available in gallon can format for production-scale bonding of rubber, gaskets, seals, fabric, and foam substrates in aerospace, automotive, and industrial manufacturing. Its neoprene polymer formula provides superior adhesion to vulcanized rubber and neoprene gasket materials — substrates that are notoriously difficult to bond reliably with general-purpose contact adhesives.
The gallon format provides the maximum economical quantity of 1300L for facilities with high daily consumption of rubber and gasket adhesive. Brush, roller, or spray application from the gallon can enables fast, uniform coverage of large gasket bonding areas, reducing application labor compared to smaller container formats that require more frequent refilling during production operations.
The yellow color of 1300L provides excellent contrast on most substrate colors, making adhesive coverage immediately visible during application and quality inspection. The distinctive yellow identification also distinguishes 1300L from other contact adhesives in the production environment, reducing the risk of adhesive mis-selection during assembly operations.

Technical Information
3M Scotch-Weld 1300L is a liquid neoprene contact adhesive with a high solids neoprene polymer content that provides strong, immediate contact bonds and excellent long-term adhesion durability on rubber and flexible substrate combinations. The yellow pigmentation remains stable throughout the shelf life and service life of the adhesive, providing consistent visual identification of adhesive coverage at all stages of the bonding and inspection process.
For spray application from the gallon can, the adhesive should be transferred to a spray pot or applicator compatible with solvent-based contact adhesives. Spray application provides the fastest and most uniform coverage of large gasket and seal bonding areas. Adequate ventilation and personal protective equipment are required for spray application due to the solvent carrier in the adhesive formulation.
The gallon container should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent solvent evaporation that would thicken the adhesive and reduce coverage rate. If thickening occurs, the adhesive can be thinned with the appropriate thinner per the 3M 1300L TDS — do not use water or incompatible solvents that could destabilize the neoprene polymer dispersion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is 3M Scotch-Weld 1300L used for?
A: 1300L is a high-performance neoprene contact adhesive for bonding rubber gaskets, seals, weatherstripping, foam, and fabric to metal and composite substrates in aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications.
Q: What is the MPN for 3M 1300L Gallon Can?
A: MPN is 7000008807.
Q: What is the difference between 3M 1300L and EC-1300?
A: Both are yellow neoprene contact adhesives for rubber and gasket bonding. 1300L (gallon) is the production-scale bulk format, while EC-1300 (5oz tube) is designed for smaller MRO maintenance applications. Both share similar neoprene chemistry.
Q: Can 3M 1300L be spray applied?
A: Yes. 1300L can be brush, roller, or spray applied. Transfer to a compatible spray applicator for large-area production operations. Ensure adequate ventilation during spray application.
Q: How should the 3M 1300L gallon can be stored?
A: Keep the gallon can tightly sealed when not in use to prevent solvent evaporation and adhesive thickening. Store in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
