3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3731 is a 100% solids, high heat resistant thermoplastic adhesive that liquefies to bond to a variety of substrates, including polyethylene, polypropylene, and other plastics.Engineered to deliver excellent results, 3M Scotch-Weld Hot Melt Adhesive 3731 provides high heat resistance up to 2265F/129C without lifting or deformation. This hot melt adhesive bonds well to a variety of substrates and is an ideal adhesive for bonding polyolefin based plastics, including polyethylene and polypropylene. In addition, it is fast setting, with an open bead time of 30 seconds, for applications requiring quick bond times. Designed to provide good peel strength, 3M Scotch-Weld Hot Melt Adhesive 3731 creates a resilient bond that is long-lasting, offering confidence and peace of mind for a wide range of applications. For use with the 3M Scotch-Weld Hot Melt Applicator EC or 3M Scotch-Weld Hot Melt Applicator TC. Applied with 3M Adhesive Applicators, hot melt adhesives extrude as liquefied thermoplastic to fill gaps and wet entire bonding surfaces before setting. As a result, they often exceed 100 psi shear strength for quick, convenient strength. Hot melt adhesives are used for bonding a wide variety of materials ranging from wood to corrugated cardboard, heat-sensitive foam, plastics, and metals. Unlike mechanical fasteners or sealing tapes, hot melt adhesives are virtually invisible between mating surfaces. These 100% solids thermoplastic resins are available in a variety of strengths, temperatures, and pen time/bonding ranges to meet your specific application demands.
