Hot Melt Adhesive Systems by 3M™ from Adept Industrial Solutions

3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Hot Melt Adhesives liquify when heated and quickly fill gaps and wet the bonding surface. Applied to only one surface, the cool, harden , and reach bond strength in seconds. You can move assemblies immediately and eliminate clamps, drying time and energy. Each adhesive is engineered for efficient applications with an easy-to-use 3M portable applicator. Minimal operator training.

Unlike mechanical fasteners and sealing tapes, hot melt adhesive is virtually invisible between the mating surfaces.

Hot melts are 100% solids thermoplastic resins that can re-melt after bonding if exposed to high enough temperature. There are many options for selecting melt point and heat resistance for your specific application.
