Hot Melt Adhesives
and Applicators are advanced hand-held
systems to help you improve productivity,
lower cost, and minimize waste.
Adhesives are 100% solids thermoplastic
resins that become fluid when heated and
quickly wet the bonding surface. They
cool, harden, and reach bond strength in
seconds. You can move assemblies
immediately to keep production flowing.
This helps eliminate clamps, fixturing and
drying, and saves time, energy, and space.
Each adhesive is designed and precisely
manufactured for efficient use in one of
the portable 3M
