PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is the recommended application temperature for 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3789?

    The recommended application temperature for our 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3789 Brown, Pellets, is between 350°F to 400°F (177°C to 204°C).

  2. How much adhesive comes in a case of the product?

    Our product, which consists of brown pellets, typically comes in a box weighing about 22 pounds or approximately ten kilograms.

  3. Can this hot melt adhesive be used on plastic surfaces as well?

    Yes! In fact, it sticks strongly even with low surface energy plastics. It can also bond cardboard and similar materials together without difficulty.

  4. Does this hot melt adhesive have any certifications that proves its safety when using it on food packaging applications?

    A: Absolutely! As you may know already, we take matters related to industrial hygiene extremely seriously. We’re proud to let you know that our formula meets FDA guidelines relevant for indirect incidental contact with food ingredients – yes it’s safe (and effective) for use in packaging designs associated with such types of food products.

Understanding Hot Melt Adhesives

Hot melt adhesives, also known as glue sticks, are liquefied thermoplastic adhesives available in both low and high-temperature versions. Low temperature hot melt adhesives are applied at 250ºF/121ºC temperatures, which makes them ideal for bonding electronics, plastics, cloth and other heat sensitive materials. High temperature hot melt adhesives are applied at 380ºF/193ºC and produce a stronger bond than the low temperature hot melts.

Melted adhesive is extruded through a nozzle using a 3M™ Hot Melt Applicator by either pneumatic pressure, a mechanical trigger mechanism, or with pressure applied directly on the stick. Different nozzles can be used to apply thin, wide strips or narrow, thicker beads. Hot melt adhesive generally sets quickly, ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the adhesive formulation.
