From the Manufacturer 3M™ Hot Melt Wood Bonding Adhesive AE effectively bonds wood and wood products and other materials to wood such as upholstery. This adhesive is also beneficial for product assembly and applications that include corrugated and lightweight substrates on furniture and fabrics. The 12" stick will produce up to 20 linear feet of 1/8" bead. Its 45 second open time provides ample opportunity for positioning and adjusting for fit and supports efficient production for assembly, assembling joining, attaching, securing, repairing, potting, panel bonding, bundling, sealing, encapsulating, rigidizing, gluing, packaging, adhering and closing.Product Information Viscosity (cps) 5250@375°F/190°C Melt Point 175°F/79°C Open Time 45 sec Heat Resistance 135 F/57°C Peel Strength 12 PIW (lbs Per Inch of Width, on canvas) Shear Strength 245 PSI (Douglas Fir) About Hot Melt Adhesives Hot melt adhesives encompass a range of characteristics. Low melt adhesives/ hot-glue sticks have a relatively low melting point that ranges between approximately 170 – 2500F/76 – 1210C, depending on the formulation, and are applied with low-temperature applicators, commonly referred to as hot-glue guns. Low-melt adhesives are beneficial in that they can be used to bond heat sensitive materials such as foam and a range of plastics. They provide a nearly instant bond but when the bond is reheated, some varieties will soften, allowing the bonded surfaces to be separated. The aggressive hot tack nature of low-melt adhesives speeds up production and assembly operations that involve light gage metals, some plastics, and other non-fibrous materials in addition to building display boards, floral displays, and hobby projects. These adhesives are also used in manufacturing, assembly and packaging processes, window, door, construction, transportation, electronics, and other industries, as well as in woodworking, assembling building store displays, convention sample boards, trophies, novelties, upholstery, furniture, audio components, and cabinets.Hot melt adhesives/hot-glue sticks have a relatively hot melting point that ranges between approximately 250-3800F/121-1960C, depending on the formulation, and are applied with hot-melt applicators, commonly referred to as hot-glue guns. Hot-melt glues provide a nearly instant bond between many plastics, paper and wood, but when the bond is reheated, some varieties will soften, allowing the bonded surfaces to be separated. The quick-stick nature of hot-melt adhesives speeds up operations in packaging and production.About 3M Industrial Adhesives and Tapes For more than a century, 3M has applied innovation and technology to improving our customers’ lives and supporting their business goals.
