3776LM • 3792LM • 3738 • 3792 Technical Data July, 2016 Product Description 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesives are 100% solids, thermoplastic resins that become fluid when heated and quickly wet the bonding surface. They cool, harden and reach bond strength in seconds, keeping production flowing by eliminating clamps, fixturing and drying, and saving time energy and space. 3M™ Hot Melt 3776LM, 3792LM, 3738 and 3792 are thermoplastic adhesives with low to medium viscosity and long open times. They bond to wide variety of substrates such as wood, plain and coated corrugated, sand cores, foams, many plastics, and other lightweight materials. 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3792 Multi-purpose adhesive with medium viscosity. Bonds dissimilar substrates such as wood to plastic, fabric to metal. 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3792LM Low temperature dispensing version of 3792. Excellent for coated papers, plastics and other heat sensitive substrates. 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3776LM General purpose bonder with low temperature dispensing. 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3738 Low viscosity and long open time for high flow rates, thin bonds, and repositionability. Features  100% Solids, no VOCs  Easy to use  Long open times allow for ease use on large assemblies and large surfaces  Adhesive sets and obtains strength in seconds  Low Melt (LM) adhesives are designed for low temperature application and heat sensitive substrates  Ideal for woodworking and general industrial applications.

3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3776LM • 3792LM • 3738 • 3792 Directions for Use 1. Surface Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, dry and dust free. Wipe with a solvent such as isopropyl alcohol for plastic substrates to aid in removing oil and dirt.* *Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot lights, and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use. 2. Application: 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesives are designed for application with a 3M™ Hot Melt Applicators. Read and follow the precautions and directions for use in the user’s manual before operating the applicator. 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesives are applied at 350-385°F, except the Low Melt (LM) series which are designed to be applied at 250-275°F. LM series are adhesives designed for lower temperature application but still yield long-lasting bonds. Extruded bead sizes can be customized using 3M™ applicator tips. 3. Coverage: 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesives yield approximately 430 linear feet per pound of adhesive when extruded as a 1/8” diameter semi-circular bead. 4. Set up time: After the bond is made, 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesives immediately build strength and no clamping is necessary. Set will occur faster on cold or metallic substrates.

Temperature can be adjusted to regulate desired viscosity, delivery rate and pot life. (2) Brookfield Thermocel Viscometer in Centipoise using a #27 Spindle @ 10 RPM. (3) Open time is the maximum time between the application of the adhesive and when the parts must be joined together. Data based on 1/8" semicircular bead on non-metallic substrates at 75°F. Higher environmental temperatures and/or larger beads will lengthen open times. (4) Extrusion time for one 1”x3” PG cartridge.
