Scotch-Weld™ 7000000961 TC Series Hot Melt Applicator, 2.6 to 3.5 lb/hr Output, Pneumatic Drive

3M™ hot melt applicator TC is a lightweight, easy to control applicator that dispenses up to 3.5 lb of adhesive per hour, maintaining a fixed temperature of 385 deg F (196 deg C). It is designed for use with 5/8 x 2 in TC hot melt adhesive sticks. Dispenses up to 3.5 lb of hot melt adhesive per hour 3M™ hot melt applicator TC uses 120V/150W power to maintain a 385 deg F (196 deg C) temperature for consistent, reliable dispensing of 5 x 2 in TC hot melt adhesives. This lightweight applicator (only 10 oz.) was built for ease of use, with the on demand feed control helping minimize hot melt waste and dripping.

Hot melt adhesive applicators, commonly called "glue guns" are tools used to apply liquefied thermoplastic adhesives and are available in low and high temperature versions. Low temperature adhesive applicators operate at approximately 250 deg F (121 deg C) and are beneficial when bonding heat sensitive materials such as electronics, plastics and cloth. High temperature applicators operate at a minimal temperature of approximately 380 deg F (193 deg C) and can dispense adhesives that produce a stronger bond than low temperature adhesives. Melted adhesive is extruded through a nozzle 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.
