Product Description Hot Melt Applicator Bench Mount PG II, Size -, Voltage -, For Use With 3M(TM) Scotch-Weld(TM) Hot Melt Applicator PG II, Includes Includes base, clamp, bracket and nozzle adapter From the Manufacturer It is adjustable to allow positioning of the nozzle tip from a minimum of 9-1/2" to a maximum of 15-1/2" from the bench top and provides an adaptable solution for various task requirements. A nozzle adapter is also included to direct adhesive flow for any compatible nozzle straight down.What is Hot Melt?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 250ºF/ 121ºC and are beneficial when bonding heat sensitive materials such as electronics, plastics and cloth. High-temperature applicators operate at a minimal temperature of approximately 380ºF/ 193ºC. The applicator creates a flow of adhesive when a solidified adhesive stick is fed into the heat chamber, where it is melted using a fixed-temperature heating element. The molten adhesive is then extruded through a nozzle by either pneumatic pressure, a mechanical trigger mechanism or with pressure applied directly on the stick. Nozzles can be changed to dispense adhesive in a manner that meets various requirements; from a thin, wide strip for carton sealing, to a narrow, thicker bead for bonding wood, composites or metal. Nozzles are typically metal and become extremely hot during use, which can quickly burn skin. Once dispensed from the applicator, the adhesive generally sets quickly, in most cases just a few seconds. Hot-melt applicators are widely used in industry, crafts, home and work with materials ranging from paper and lace to wood and some metals.
