Surebonder Q-425-15 Hot Melt Glue Sticks, 5/8 x 15 Inch

Description

Surebonder Q-425-15 hot melt glue sticks are a 5/8 inch by 15 inch APAO formula built for both bead and spray application. The 22 lb box holds approximately 190 sticks, giving production lines a long-run supply without frequent reloads. A 3 minute open time in spray form and a 5 minute open time in bead form give operators enough working time to position parts before the bond sets.

Where Hot Melt Glue Sticks Like Q-425-15 Fit

Bead form suits glue assist projects where a controlled line of adhesive backs up mechanical fasteners or holds parts during assembly. Spray form is built for foam-to-foam and foam-to-fabric bonding, and the formula also handles wood, fabric, polypropylene, polyethylene, glass, and metal substrates. The light amber color and low viscosity keep the bond line workable across this substrate range without excessive stringing.

Feed the sticks through a compatible full-size glue gun set to the 350 to 375 F application temperature range published for this formula. Confirm gun compatibility with 5/8 inch diameter sticks before ordering, since Surebonder also offers this chemistry in other diameters and stick lengths.

Hot Melt Glue Sticks Handling and Storage

Store sticks in a cool, dry area away from direct heat to keep them from softening or fusing in the box before use. Check gun nozzle temperature against the product’s rated range, since running cooler than specified extends open time and lowers initial tack, while running hotter shortens working time and can degrade the adhesive. Test on a sample joint whenever switching substrates, gun models, or ambient shop temperature.
