Description
The 3M 7000000888 is an amber polyamide hot melt that is made to withstand high temperatures, fuel and oil, and impacts. This 3M 3779 hot melt adhesive is available in an 11-pound pack of flowable, 100% solids material suitable for handheld hot melt applicators and industrial potting. The 3M hot melt adhesive, which can withstand temperatures of up to 300°F (149°C), provides a strong bond for electronics, headliner fixturing, wire harness attachment, trim, and appliance assembly. Its open time of 25-35 seconds gives technicians a useful window for part positioning while also allowing for fast cycle assembly. The low-odor formulation contributes to a more pleasant working environment on the production floor. The amber, high-performance compound adheres to a wide range of substrates, including wood, polypropylene, vinyl, and many easy-to-bond plastics.
Product Features and Benefits
Extreme temperature stability to 300°F / 149°C
The 3M 3779 hot melt adhesive, which is rated for prolonged heat exposure, maintains bond strength in high-temperature environments. It is ideal for use in electronics, appliances, and automotive interiors that require thermal stability.
Resistance to fuel, oil and impact
The 3M glue sticks' polyamide chemistry provides chemical and mechanical resistance, reducing bond degradation from oils and incidental fuel exposure. This improves long-term assembly reliability in demanding use cases.
Fast set time with practical open window
Approximately 25–35 seconds of open time allows accurate part placement without sacrificing line speed. The rapid set supports efficient throughput in high-volume assembly processes.
100% solids, flowable formulation for consistent dispensing
The 3M hot melt adhesive is suitable for both handheld and automated hot melt applicators, and its flowable consistency allows for uniform beads and potting fills. This minimizes rework and ensures consistent adhesive performance.
Multi-substrate bonding capability
Effective on wood, many easy-to-bond plastics, vinyl, and lightweight substrates, making it versatile for trim, mounting, and potting tasks. Ideal for applications where mixed-material assemblies are common.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply 3M 7000000888 using a 3M hot melt applicator?
Yes, the 3M 3779 formulation is designed to work with 3M hot melt applicators and similar industrial guns.
Is this one of 3M's glue sticks or a bulk hot melt?
This item is sold in an 11 lb flowable pound pack, which functions similarly to large-format 3M glue sticks for production use.
Are these 3M hot melt glue sticks appropriate for electronics potting?
Yes, the amber polyamide formulation is suitable for electronics potting and other temperature-sensitive assemblies.
What is the performance difference between 3M 3779 and gold hot glue sticks?
3M 3779 has higher heat, fuel, and impact resistance than typical consumer "gold" hot glue sticks, making it ideal for industrial applications.
