3M 3762 Q thermofusible glue for carton packaging

      Characteristics of 3M 3762 Q

The 3M 3762 Quadrack is a hot melt adhesive with an amber color, part of the Scotch-Weld range manufactured by 3M. Composed of EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) thermoplastic resins, it is classified as Hot Melt because it is applied at a temperature of approximately 210°C. Its formulation is solvent-free, allowing for rapid bonding and excellent adhesion when heated.

This adhesive is presented in the form of notched sticks, with the notching being a feature that identifies them as 3M products. Solid storage simplifies handling and transportation.

The adhesive exhibits strong adhesion on a variety of heat-sensitive, porous, and non-porous materials such as cardboard, paper, cork, and wood. It is classified as multi-purpose and is cost-effective compared to other hot melt adhesives.

Its application is straightforward and involves a single coating, meaning that the adhesive is applied to only one side of the substrate. This is done using an electric heating gun that melts the adhesive, allowing for either a dot or a continuous bead of adhesive to be applied.

Compatible 3M hot melt glue guns include the 3M TC/TC-Q Applicator and 3M TC/TC-Q LT Applicator.

It is important to use this product in adequately ventilated areas to avoid the accumulation of fumes released by the molten adhesive. The safety data sheet is available at www.quickfds.com.
