Main features

  • Dissimilar-Substrate Hot-Melt Bonding
  • Rapid Strength Development in Seconds
  • 45-Second Open Time

Product Description

3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3747 is a 100% solids, thermoplastic general-purpose adhesive designed for bonding dissimilar substrates. Containing no VOCs, this tan-colored hot melt adhesive applies easily and sets in seconds without the need for clamping. It provides an open time of 45 seconds and is highly effective for a wide variety of assemblies, including joining wood to plastic and fabric to metal.

Key features

  • Fast setting time: Adhesive sets and obtains high-performance strength in seconds, eliminating the need for clamping.
  • Versatile bonding: General-purpose formulation easily bonds dissimilar substrates such as wood to plastic and fabric to metal.
  • Easy to use: 100% solids, VOC-free formula provides a 45-second open time for easy handling on large assemblies and surfaces.

Applications / Suitable for

  • Woodworking applications
  • General industrial bonding
  • Bonding dissimilar substrates like wood to plastic and fabric to metal
