Systems approach to improving productivity and lowering costs.

Hot melt bonding systems are becoming more important to manufacturers as pressures increase to improve productivity, lower costs, and conserve energy. Hot Melt Bonding Systems from 3M provide effective support in all of these areas.

Jet-melt™Adhesives are 100% solid, solvent-free thermoplastic resins that become fluid when heated. In the molten state, they quickly wet out the surface and upon cooling harden to form a strong bond to many surfaces. Most of the bond strength is usually achieved in seconds often eliminating the need for clamps or fixturing.

Assemblies can be moved immediately to keep production flowing. No space or energy is consumed for drying.

Each adhesive is engineered for use in one of the portable, lightweight Polygun™ Applicators— easy-to-use equipment that has established 3M as the leader and innovator in melt-on-demand technology.

For packaging, special adhesives and applicator accessories provide speed, convenience and economy for a variety of manual carton sealing operations.

 
 

 

 
 

Jet-melt Adhesives bond wood, plastic, foam, fabric, rubber, cardboard and many other surfaces.
