Thin bond lines at hot melt speeds with
The hand-held 3M
™
Jet-Weld
™
II Adhesive
Applicator and moisture-curing urethane
adhesives put a powerful production
capability in your assembly operation.
This single system combines production
benefits typical of hot melt adhesives and
bond performance usually associated with
2-part structural adhesives.
Benefits typical of
hot melt adhesives
• Fast initial set and handling strength in
as few as 15 seconds helps eliminate or
minimize fixturing, and speed assembly.
• One-component, moisture-curing
eliminates metering, mixing and curing
equipment. Helps simplify production as
well as save energy.
• 100% solids gives you a low-VOC
adhesive system with no drying
equipment and no attack on plastics.
Structural strength
• Up to a half ton in holding power after
only ten minutes exceeds strength of
conventional hot melt and PVA adhesives.
• Eliminates nails and other mechanical
fasteners in many applications to help
save the time of finishing steps.
Application versatility
• Proprietary chemistry bonds a wide
variety of substrates, including wood,
plastics, rubber, dissimilar materials
and plasticized vinyls.
• Up to 10-minute open time allows
positioning of multiple or complex parts.
• Thin, flexible and tough bond lines
help improve the fit, appearance and
durability of your product.
• Help you meet production volume
requirements with self-contained
hand-held Jet-Weld II Applicator or your
own bulk dispensing equipment.
Application ideas
• Countertop edging (A) – Adhesive
bead applies neatly and eliminates
nails and the extra work of putty
and sanding.
• Bent wood furniture (B) – Structural
strength holds the aesthetic contours
of unique all-wood furniture.
• Store shelving/displays (C) – For clean,
modern design, mechanical fasteners
are eliminated in construction of
cabinets, shelves and tables.
• Decorative trim (D) – Thin glue line
forms a virtually invisible bond
between simulated-wood plastic trim
and the wood cabinet door surface.
