3M Hot Melt Adhesive 3797 is a temperature resistant, low viscosity adhesive which flows easily into small areas for effective coverage and protection, ideal for electrical potting. This 100% solids thermoplastic adhesive also provides a quick 30-second open bead time for potting even at depth. It is best used with 3M Hot Melt Applicator PG II-excellent for high volume operations.
A Hot Melt Adhesive Ideal for Electrical PottingIdeal as an electrical potting adhesive and for other applications involving electrical and electronic components,3M Hot Melt Adhesive 3797 is a 100% solids thermoplastic low melt adhesive that combines low viscosity with high temperature resistance. This makes it ideal for applications where protection and long-term stability are critical. This hot melt adhesive is formulated to flow easily and smoothly into small areas such as those on printed circuit boards and for quick set times-about 30 seconds of open time for effective deep potting and for added efficiency in high-volume jobs.
Recommended Applications- Electrical potting even at great depth
- Securing wires to resist strain and breakage
- Bundling wires for convenient handling
- Rigidizing components on printed circuit boards to add stability during assembly, shipping and end use
- Terminating coils
- Cable strain relief
3M manufactures Hot Melt Adhesive 3797 in PG sizes for use with the 3M Hot Melt Applicator PG II, a high-output pneumatic applicator that lets you apply up to 7.5 lbs.s. of adhesive per hour. This applicator combines with the fast adhesive open time for maximum efficiency in high-volume operations.
About Hot Melt AdhesivesHot melt adhesives/hot-glue sticks have a relatively hot melting point that ranges between approximately 250-380°F/121°C, depending on the formulation and 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.
The Science of Better Adhesives from 3MSince 1925 when a 3M lab assistant invented masking tape, 3M has been applying science to life-developing adhesive products and technologies that help entire industries and individual businesses worldwide. The work that began with a single 3M engineer now spans decades and generations. And all of it goes into each adhesive product like 3M Hot Melt Adhesive 3797-to help businesses like yours operate faster, better and more efficiently.
