PRODUCT FAQ
-
What type of surfaces can be bonded with 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3731 PG?
3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3731 PG is designed to bond well to most plastics, foam, fabric, and wood.
-
How fast does the adhesive set after application?
This hot melt adhesive sets quickly in about one minute or less depending on the materials being bonded and the environmental conditions.
-
Is this product safe for food contact applications?
No, this specific adhesive is not recommended for use in direct or indirect food contact applications due to its chemical composition. However, we do offer other adhesives that are suitable for food packaging such as our Scotch-Weld™ Low Odor Acrylic Adhesives.
3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3731 is engineered to provide excellent results, with high heat resistance up to 265ºF/129ºC without lifting or deformation. This hot melt adhesive is ideal for bonding polyolefin based plastics, including polyethylene and polypropylene, and bonds well to a variety of substrates. It is fast setting, with an open bead time of 30 seconds, making it perfect for applications requiring quick bond times. The adhesive is designed to provide good peel strength, creating a resilient bond that is long-lasting and offers confidence and peace of mind for a wide range of applications. For best results, use with the 3M™ Hot Melt Applicator EC or 3M™ Hot Melt Applicator TC.
Recommended Applications- Ideal for bonding polyolefin based plastics
- For applications requiring quick bond times
Hot melt adhesives, applied with 3M Adhesive Applicators, 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.
