H.B. Fuller EV Bond 720

H.B. Fuller EV Bond 720 is designed to set quickly and strengthen within 3-4 minutes. Fully moisture-cured material displays excellent high temperature strength, tested up to 120°C. Rapid shipment of bonded parts is possible, as H.B. Fuller EV Bond 720 will not flow or expulse at 120°C, preserving bonded geometry at high temperatures before fully moisture-cured. This patented reactive hot melt moisture curing material is a one component polyurethane, 100% solid adhesive. Excellent adhesion strength is achieved within 10 seconds to 3 minutes after dispensing. This product has aggressive hot tack and cures in the presence of moisture into a tough bond. It works well in bonding various plastics, woods, metals, and primed glass substrates.

Application Instructions
  • H.B. Fuller EV Bond 720 is designed to be used with heated platen-style melting machine that transfers material from pails or drums to a nozzle enough to form a bead and dispense into the housing.
  • Substrate surface must be clean, dry, and free from oils and dust.
  • Non-polar substrates must be surface treated (e.g. plasma treated) prior to adhesive application.
  • If the equipment is to be shut down for extended periods of time, we suggest purging the system with H.B. Fuller Swift®Clean 9037.

Technical Details & Test Data

Curing Profile

Under standard conditions (23°C, 50% RH), full cure will take approximately 14 days. Any deviation from standard conditions will change the cure rate. Additionally, cure rates and completeness of cure will vary with adhesive thickness and the substrate's moisture permeability.
