3M™ Hot Melt Spray Adhesive 6116B
- 3M ID B40065558
Details
Highlights
- 5 minute open time ideal for bonding foams and fabrics
- Sprayable thermoplastic adhesive
- Minimal overspray for easy, quick and accurate application
- Designed for large surface assembly
- Very low viscosity for fabric bonding
3M™ Hot Melt Spray Adhesive 6116B is a high-strength thermoplastic used to bond most foams, fabrics, particle board and thin metal. This non-volatile, 100% solids sprayable adhesive offers immediate bond with minimal overspray and provides a more sustainable solution for increasing productivity.
Offers Excellent Adhesion to Polypropylene and other LSE Plastics
3M™ Hot Melt Spray Adhesive 6116B is a heat applied, 100% solids, sprayable adhesive for a fast and neat alternative to aerosol, contact and solvent-based adhesives. It bonds to a variety of surfaces including low surface energy (LSE) plastics. Ideal for large surface assembly and does not damage heat sensitive surfaces like polystyrene foam, polyethylene and polypropylene.
Recommended Applications
Insulation
Furniture and upholstery
Large surface lamination
Cubicle, office partition
Headliners
Case inserts
Packaging
Seating attachment
Understanding Hot Melt Adhesives
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.
