Glue Distribution in Hot Melt Channels
Most commonly, Bridge-it™ is configured for use with hot
melt adhesives and 3M’s™ Dual-Lock™. Hot Melt Channels
drive molten adhesive deep inside Bridge-it™, to maximize
bonding, improve glue distribution, and add mechanical
retention to your primary substrate. 3M’s™ Dual Lock™,
securely fastens Bridge-it™ to an opposing surface. With its
‘blind fastening’ and reclosable capabilities, Dual Lock™
allows for alignment flexibility, making component
assembly easier and more efficient.
