Technical Data
Product Description
July, 2016
3M™ Hot Melt Adhesives are heat applied, 100% solids adhesives. 3M™ Hot Melt
3747, 3779, 3789 and 3797 are thermoplastic adhesives to bond to wide variety of
substrates such as wood, plastic, vinyl, metal and glass.
3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3747
General purpose adhesive for bonding dissimilar
substrates such as wood to plastic, fabric to metal.
3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3779
High strength bonding with excellent
environmental stability including very high heat
resistance. Fast set time.
3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3789
High performance for plastic with good fuel, oil
and plasticizer resistance. Long open time.
3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3797
Low viscosity for fast flow rates, good high
temperature resistance, and fast set. Good for
electrical potting.
100% solids, no VOCs
Easy to use
Long open times allow for easy use on large assemblies and large surfaces
Adhesive sets and obtains strength in seconds
Creates high performance bonds
Ideal for woodworking and general industrial applications.

1. Surface Preparation:
Surfaces must be clean, dry and dust free. Wipe with a solvent
such as isopropyl alcohol for plastic, metal and glass substrates to remove oil and dirt.*
*Note:
When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot lights, and
follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.
2. Application:
3M™ Hot Melt Adhesives are designed for application with a 3M™ Hot
Melt Applicators. Read and follow the precautions and directions for use in the user’s
manual before operating the applicator. 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesives are applied at 350-
385°F. Adhesives yield approximately 430 linear feet per pound of adhesive when
extruded as a 1/8” diameter semi-circular bead. Extruded bead sizes can be customized
using 3M™ applicator tips.

3. Coverage:
3M™ Hot Melt Adhesives yield approximately 430 linear feet per pound
of adhesive when extruded as a 1/8” diameter semi-circular bead.
4. Set up time:
After the bond is made, 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesives immediately build
strength and no clamping is necessary. Set will occur faster on cold or metallic
substrates.

(1) Recommended application temperature range. Temperature can be adjusted to regulate desired
viscosity, delivery rate and pot life.
(2) Brookfield Thermocel Viscometer in Centipoise using a #27 Spindle @ 10 RPM.
(3) Open time is the maximu m time between the application of the adhesive and when the parts
must be joined together. Data based on 1/8" semicircular bead on non-metallic substrates at 75°F.
Higher environmental temperatures and/or larger beads will lengthen open times.
(4) Extrusion time for one 1”x3” PG cartridge.
