Hot Melt Bonding Systems Design, assembly and packaging reference guideJet-melt Adhesives and Polygun Applicators The 3M systems approach to help you improve productivity and lower costs. Jet-melt brand Adhesives and Polygun brand Applicators are engineered to be advanced systems to help you improve productivity, lower cost and minimize waste. Jet-melt adhesives Jet-melt adhesives are 100% solids thermoplastic resins. When heated, they become fluid and quickly wet the bonding surface. Upon cooling, they harden and usually reach bond strength in seconds. You can move assemblies imme- diately to keep production flowing. Plus, eliminate clamps, fixturing and drying. This helps save time, energy and space. Each adhesive is designed and precisely manufactured for effi- cient use in one of the portable Polygun applicators. Polygun applicators These are lightweight, easy-to- use units using 3M's innovative melt-on-demand or progressive feed technology. A technology proven in applications through- out industry. Select from 17 adhesives and five applicators to meet your requirements.Selecting a Polygun applicator for temperature and volume Low temperature applica 3 Polygun LT Applicator Designed exclusively for low-melt Jet-melt adhesives.
