3M Hot Melt Adhesive 3762 is a 100% solids, fast-setting hot melt adhesive designed for packaging and shipping applications. It is ideal for bonding corrugated fiberboard cartons, wood, particle board, chipboard and foam. The recommended application temperature range is 350-385F (177-196C)
- Aggressive hot tack rapidly achieves handling strength
- Short open time allows for fast assembly lines
- Securely bonds difficult to seal substrates such as lightly waxed surfaces
- Low viscosity prevents stringing even at fast production speeds
- Recommended application temperature range: 350-385°F (177-196°C)

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3762AE used for?
The 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3762AE is a versatile solution that can bond a variety of surfaces, including some plastics and metals. It's commonly used in manufacturing applications such as woodworking, furniture assembly, and general product assembly.
-
How long does it take for the adhesive to dry?
This hot melt adhesive sets quickly at room temperature and reaches its maximum strength within minutes of application. Because it cools rapidly, you won't have to worry about holding items together for extended periods of time like you might with other adhesives.
-
How much adhesive comes in each package?
Each case contains one strip of hot melt adhesive measuring .45 inches wide by 12 inches long and weighing approximately eleven pounds. You'll get plenty of material to work with during your projects!
-
Is this adhesive safe to use around food or water?
While this particular model isn't recommended for use around food or drink products, we do offer other products that are specifically designed for these purposes! Please feel free to ask us if you need help finding an appropriate option based on your specific needs.
3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3762 is a 100% solids, thermoplastic resin that is specially formulated to quickly grab and seal in high-volume production settings such as packing, woodworking, and assembly. This adhesive provides adhesion to wood, paperboard, corrugated, and other fibrous substrates, increasing the speed of carton closures. It also provides strong shear strength, ensuring that your packages stay sealed and components stay bonded under most conditions. The low viscosity prevents stringing even at fast production speeds.
With a 25-second open time along a 1/8" bead, this adhesive is sufficient for positioning and adjusting for fit, supporting high-tempo productivity for packaging, woodworking, and applications that involve fibrous materials.
Recommended Applications- General packaging
- Securing wood supports and reinforcements
- Repacking chipboard
- Point-of-purchase displays
- Trade exhibits
- Bonding waxed surfaces
Hot melt adhesives, also known as glue sticks, are liquefied thermoplastic adhesives available in both low and high-temperature versions. Low temperature hot melt adhesives are applied at 250ºF/121ºC temperatures, which makes them ideal for bonding electronics, plastics, cloth, and other heat-sensitive materials. High temperature hot melt adhesives are applied at 380ºF/193ºC and produce a stronger bond than the low temperature hot melts.
Melted adhesive is extruded through a nozzle using a 3M™ Hot Melt Applicator by either pneumatic pressure, a mechanical trigger mechanism, or with pressure applied directly on the stick. Different nozzles can be used to apply thin, wide strips or narrow, thicker beads. Hot melt adhesive generally sets quickly, ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the adhesive formulation.
