Hot Melt Glue Gun
A hot glue gun is a power tool to melt and apply glue sticks. The name comes from the similarity in shape with the gun, a trigger for advancing the glue stick to As its merger.

It allows you to quickly paste the wood and its derivatives, cardboard, leather and textiles. It is also used for bonding of plastics and even aluminum. Diameter glue sticks can be 7 or 12 mm.

The hot glue guns mainly use two temperatures: a so-called high temperature (165 ° C or 195 ° C) and the other so-called low temperature (105 ° C). Some gun can use these two temperatures by a selection system.



Function

The rod-like adhesive (hot melt adhesive) is inserted at the rear, housed inside the gun by an electric or gas-operated heating to melt. By manually operating the transport lever ("trigger"), the still solid plastic rod is pressed down in the hearth, the repressed and thus liquefied plastic escapes from the nozzle.Simpler and smaller glue guns do not require transport mechanism, here is the glue stick ("candle") re-pressed with the thumb.

Application

The heat sealing is used mainly for point or small area for adhesive joints and seams. By cooling the hot melt adhesive bonds below the solidification temperature. A bond is similar to soldering existence only when the two materials are joined in the still liquid adhesive. In good heat conducting materials such as metals or glass, the adhesive solidifies quickly than for example, paper, plastics, or the skin.
