Adhesive 3779 bonds to wood
Adhesive offers high strength and high heat resistance
Provides Extreme Temperature Stability 300°F / 149°C for a Durable Bond
3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3779 offers strong 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 offers extreme temperature stability (300°F / 149°C) and is excellent for electronics and potting. This product supports high-tempo productivity with a 25-second open time that is sufficient for fit positioning and adjusting. In addition, 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3779 (PDF, 334.66 Kb) has a low odor to help maintain a comfortable work environment. This product will bond wood, polypropylene, electronics, vinyl and lightweight substrates on furniture, automotive interiors, outdoor applications, small appliances and general product assembly.

Recommended Applications
  • Headliner fixturing and attachment
  • Wire harness attachments
  • Electronics potting
  • Metal and plastic bonding in appliances
  • Attaching trim

hot melt adhesives / glue sticks
Understanding Hot Melt Adhesives
Hot melt adhesives (PDF, 1.68 Mb), 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 250°F / 121°C temperatures, which makes them ideal for bonding electronics, plastics, cloth and other heat sensitive materials. High temperature hot melt adhesives are applied at 380°F / 193°C 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.
