3M 7100023046 Hot Melt Adhesive 3738 Ae Tan 11 Lb Case

Product Description

The 3M 7100023046 is a tan hot melt adhesive supplied in a case format under the 3M Scotch-Weld 3738 AE product line. Each stick measures 0.45 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, and the case contains enough material to total 11 pounds of adhesive. This thermoplastic adhesive is designed for bonding applications where a fast-setting, gun-applied adhesive is required. It is commonly used by contractors, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working in light industrial, construction, or trade service environments. A compatible hot melt applicator gun is required for dispensing — none is included with this case.

The 3M 3738 AE hot melt adhesive is suited for bonding a range of substrates including wood, cardboard, fabrics, and certain plastics. Its tan color makes it appropriate for applications where a neutral adhesive appearance is acceptable. The 11-pound case format is practical for job sites or service shops that require a bulk supply for ongoing bonding tasks. This product is typically applied by HVAC technicians, contractors, or maintenance crews needing reliable adhesion in moderate-temperature environments.

Installation Notes

This adhesive is dispensed using a compatible hot melt applicator gun — verify the gun accepts 0.45-inch sticks before use. Allow the applicator to reach full operating temperature before feeding the adhesive stick to ensure consistent flow and bond quality. Keep the adhesive and heated applicator away from flammable materials during use. Follow the adhesive manufacturer guidelines and applicable safety data sheet requirements when using in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces.
