Bostik Hot Melt Glue Sticks For Demanding Jobs

Bostik hot melt glue sticks Thermogrip 7/16 x 10, 5 lb are polyurethane hot melt adhesive sticks designed for shop and line use where fast, consistent bonds are needed. The BI2107 series is specified for applications that require good bonds for packaging, furniture, some plastics, and most porous substrates, so one product can handle a range of typical woodworking and light assembly materials. The formula offers low odor, which supports a more comfortable work environment during extended use around benches or assembly lines. An open time of 10-30 seconds gives a practical working window to place, align, and press parts before the bond sets, which supports accurate positioning on assemblies without excessive delay.

Key Thermogrip Glue Stick Advantages On The Job

• The BI2107 series is formulated for good bonds on packaging, furniture, some plastics, and most porous substrates, so one stick type can serve carton work, case goods, and general shop lamination workflows.
• The polyurethane hot melt adhesive construction provides a thermoplastic bond line that is activated by heat, so it can be applied quickly where production speed and repeatable results are priorities.
• The low odor characteristic of the BI2107 series reduces noticeable fumes at the point of application, which supports operator comfort in enclosed shops and repetitive gluing stations.
• An open time of 10-30 seconds offers a practical window to position and seat parts, so installers can align pieces, close joints, and adjust placement before the adhesive sets.
• The 7/16 x 10 stick size matches a common hot melt format, so it fits typical hot melt workflows where operators expect steady feed and predictable application length per stick.

Thermogrip Stick Size And Application Workflow

The glue stick, 7/16 x 10 straw color format gives a standard cylindrical size that works with hot melt application processes using that diameter and length, so operators can feed sticks in sequence without changing guns set up for this format. The straw color provides a neutral appearance in the solid state, which helps the adhesive visually blend with many light substrates in glue lines that may remain exposed at edges or seams. Because the adhesive is a polyurethane hot melt, it is intended to be dispensed from a heated applicator, forming a molten bead that cools to create the bond, which suits both short-run assembly and repetitive production tasks.

Using BI2107 Glue Sticks In Real Shop Work

Where These Bostik Glue Sticks Perform Best

The BI2107 series is identified for packaging work, so it is suited to bonding cartons or related board-based packaging where consistent seals are needed on porous substrates. It is also specified for furniture applications, connecting it to cabinet components or casework built with wood and other porous materials that respond well to hot melt bonding. The stated capability on some plastics extends its use to mixed-material assemblies where selected plastic parts need to be attached alongside wood or board elements, helping consolidate adhesive selection for these combinations. Suitability for most porous substrates means it can be used on materials like cardboard and similar boards used in both packaging and shop fixtures, streamlining adhesive choice around those stock types.

Why BI2107 Details Matter For Reliable Results

The 10-30 second open time range allows parts to be brought together and pressed within that window, so operators can stage multi-point contact surfaces without rushing, which reduces misalignment and rework. Low odor performance during application helps maintain a more comfortable working zone around gluing operations, especially where multiple beads are applied in sequence throughout a shift. The polyurethane hot melt adhesive class means the material is applied in a molten state and then solidifies on cooling, so production can move quickly from apply to handle stages without extended clamp times. Use across packaging, furniture, some plastics, and most porous substrates means one BI2107-80 product can be specified in process documentation for several workstations, supporting consistent bond behavior across those stations.

Choose BI2107-80 Glue Sticks For Targeted Bonds

Bostik hot melt glue sticks Thermogrip 7/16 x 10, 5 lb provide polyurethane hot melt performance with a 10-30 second open time, so they fit workflows bonding packaging, furniture, some plastics, and most porous substrates. The low odor formulation and straw color support shop comfort and discreet bond lines on lighter materials. For operations that specify a single hot melt for cartons, case goods, and mixed porous assemblies, BI2107-80 aligns with those documented uses and helps standardize adhesive behavior across stations.
