Technical Data

January, 2015

Product Description

3M™ Sprayable Hot Melt Adhesive is a heat applied, 100% solids, sprayable adhesive for a

fast, neat alternative to aerosols, contact adhesives and solvent-based adhesives to bond most

foams and many other lightweight materials.

Brookfield Thermocel Viscometer in Centipoise using a #27 Spindle @ 20 RPM

2.

Bonds were made by spraying adhesives onto 3/4 in. thick, 2-lb. density polyester urethane foam. PVC

coupons wiped with isopropyl alcohol and then bonded to foam using 5 sec of firm pressure. After standing

for 24 hrs, bonds were pulled apart by hand. The criterion for open time is 100% foam tear.

3.

Two pieces of 3/4 in. thick, 2-lb. density polyester urethane foam were sprayed and bonded using 5 sec of

firm pressure. After 24 hrs, bonds were pulled apart by hand. The criterion for open time is 100% foam tear.
