We formulated 3M Hot Melt Adhesive 3750 Tan to grab and seal quickly and meet the demands of high-volume production settings such as packing, woodworking and assembly. When heated to its specified melt point, this adhesive achieves a low viscosity/ high-flow rate and an aggressive hot tack that bonds to handling strength in seconds to help maintain high-tempo productivity.
- Aggressive hot tack rapidly achieves handling strength for packaging and other applications
- Low viscosity provides high flow rate to support fast-paced production
- Open time allows for positioning and fit adjustment
- Both hot melt and low melt versions for bonding a variety of materials
- Bonds corrugated or paperboard cartons, wood, particle board, chipboard and cushioning foams
- This hot melt adhesive is Tan in color

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3750LM AE?
It is a strong and versatile adhesive that can bond materials like wood, fabric, plastics and some metals very effectively.
-
Will this adhesive work better with certain types of materials compared to others?
Yes, this hot melt adhesive works best for bonding medium to high surface energy substrates like metals, glass or painted surfaces.
-
Is the color important when choosing an adhesive?
The color does not affect its strength or performance but if you want it to blend in with your project's material then we offer this in tan as well as other colors.
-
. How much coverage per unit can I expect from one package?
. A case which contains eleven pounds will give you approximately 82 linear feet of continuous extruded glue bead at a thickness of .045 inch.
-
. Do I need any specialized equipment for use?
. Yes – You'll need a compatible applicator gun that presents uncompressed glue onto the surface being bonded. We recommend our Scotch-Weld™ HOT MELT APPLICATOR PG II LT Q especially designed for Producers using All Electric Surebonder® Applicator Guns (such as those produced by TEC).
3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3750 is a high-quality adhesive that provides strong shear strength and low peel strength, making it ideal for carton closures and bonding wood, paperboard, corrugated, and other fibrous substrates. Its 30-40 second open time, along a 1/8" bead, allows for easy positioning and adjusting for fit, making it perfect for high-tempo productivity in packaging, woodworking, and other applications involving fibrous materials. This adhesive is made using 100% solids, thermoplastic resin and is designed for use with 3M™ Hot Melt Applicators. Additionally, it is a low-volatile-organic (VOC) compound, which means it produces minimal odor when heated, creating a comfortable work environment.
About Hot Melt Adhesives
Hot melt adhesives come in a range of characteristics. Low melt adhesives/hot-glue sticks have a relatively low melting point that ranges between approximately 170 – 250°F/76 – 121°C depending on the formulation. They 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 gauge 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 250-380°F/121-196°C, depending on the formulation. They 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.
