PRODUCT FAQ
-
What makes the 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3748 better than other adhesives?
The 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3748 offers superior bonding strength and can be used on a wide range of materials. It also has excellent heat resistance, making it suitable for use in high-temperature environments.
-
Is the Japanese label version any different from the regular one?
No, the only difference between the two versions is that one has a Japanese label. The adhesive formula and performance are exactly the same.
-
How many chips are included in each case of this adhesive?
Each case contains 22 pounds of adhesive chips. Depending on your application needs, you may need to purchase multiple cases or adjust usage rates accordingly.
3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3748 provides good resistance to heat, impact, fuel and oil. It is manufactured using 100% solids, thermoplastic resin for use with a 3M™ Hot Melt Applicator. This adhesive provides high temperature stability 175°F / 79°C with a 25-second open time that is sufficient for fit positioning and adjusting. 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3748 will bond wood, polypropylene, electronics, vinyl and lightweight substrates on furniture, automotive interiors, outdoor applications, small appliances and general product assembly.
Recommended Applications- Transportation interiors
- Seating attachment

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.
