- Aggressive hot tack rapidly achieves handling strength.
- Short open time allows for fast assembly lines.
- Securely bonds difficult to seal substrates such as lightly waxed surfaces.
- Low viscosity prevents stringing even at fast production speeds.
- Assembly, assembling joining, attaching, securing, repairing, potting, panel bonding, wire tacking, bundling, sealing, encapsulating, rigidizing, foam bonding, gluing, packaging, adhering, and closing.
- Aggressive hot tack rapidly achieves handling strength for packaging and other applications.
- Medium open time allows for positioning and fit adjustment.
- Virtually invisible when bonded, eliminating unattractive mechanical fasteners and tape products.
- Bonds to corrugated or paperboard cartons, wood, particle board, chipboard and cushioning foams.
Product Description
-------------------
3M Hot Melt Adhesive 3762 is a 100% solids, fast-setting hot
melt adhesive designed for packaging and shipping applications.
It is ideal for bonding corrugated fiberboard cartons, wood,
particle board, chipboard and foam.
From the Manufacturer
---------------------
Keep Production Flowing
3M Hot Melt Adhesive 3762 is formulated to grab and seal quickly
to meet the demands of high-volume production settings such as
packing, woodworking and assembly. These features increase the
speed of carton closures and provide adhesion to wood,
paperboard, corrugated and other fibrous substrates. It provides
strong shear strength and low peel strength, which means your
packages stay sealed and components stay bonded under most
conditions.
Economical and Safe
A 30 second open time, along a 1/8" bead, is sufficient for
positioning and adjusting for fit and supports high-tempo
productivity for packaging, woodworking, and applications that
involve fibrous materials. We manufacture this product using 100%
solids, thermoplastic resin for use with our 3M Hot Melt
Applicators. As a low-volatile- (VOC) compound, this
adhesive produces minimal odor when heated and helps support a
comfortable work environment.

The Hot Melt Advantage
Hot-melt adhesive applicators, commonly called “glue s” are
tools used to apply liquefied thermoplastic adhesives and are
available in low and high-temperature versions. Low-temperature
adhesive applicators operate at approximately 250°F/ 121°C and
are beneficial when bonding heat sensitive materials such as
electronics, plastics, and cloth. High-temperature applicators
operate at a minimal temperature of approximately 380°F/ 193°C.
The applicator creates a flow of adhesive when a solidified
adhesive stick is fed into the heat chamber, where it is melted
using a fixed-temperature heating element. The molten adhesive is
then extruded through a nozzle by either pneumatic pressure, a
mechanical trigger mechanism, or with pressure applied directly
on the stick. Nozzles can be changed to dispense adhesive in a
manner that meets various requirements; from a thin, wide strip
for carton sealing, to a narrow, thicker bead for bonding wood,
composites, or metal. Nozzles are typically metal and become
extremely hot during use, which can quickly burn skin. Once
dispensed from the applicator, the adhesive generally sets
quickly, in most cases just a few seconds. Hot-melt applicators
are widely used in industry, crafts, home, and work with
materials ranging from paper and lace to wood and some metals.
