Power Adhesives has introduced Tecbond 114, a hot melt adhesive formulated for uncoated cardboard and intended for use in carton closing, tray assembly, and packaging inserts.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to the company\u2019s statement, customer feedback influenced the development of Tecbond 114, which is aimed at helping businesses cut costs per carton closure without sacrificing speed or bond strength.<\/p>\n

The adhesive is available in 12mm, 15mm, and 43mm formats and is designed for use with Tec hot melt applicators.<\/p>\n

Recent additions to the Tecbond range also include several biodegradable adhesives for the packaging sector.<\/p>\n

Last month, Power Adhesives launched Tecbond 902B-PL and two versions of Tecbond 351B-PR, which join earlier biodegradable options Tecbond 214B and Tecbond 110B-PR.<\/p>\n

All biodegradable products in the range conform to EN 13432 and ASTM D6400 standards, meaning they break down fully under industrial composting conditions without producing microplastics or harmful residues.<\/p>\n

The adhesives have also been approved by the CHIRA assessment for compatibility with paper recycling processes.<\/p>\n

The Tecbond adhesives are specified for use in high-speed packaging operations and precision manufacturing, bonding to a variety of substrates.<\/p>\n

The latest addition, Tecbond 114, extends the company\u2019s offering for packaging applications.<\/p>\n

Power Adhesives commercial director Alex Zulewski commented: \u201cTecbond 114 is a great addition to our range of hot melts for packaging. As a customer-focused manufacturer, we\u2019ve listened to the market and created a great cost-effective option, while still delivering strength and performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to be able to offer such a comprehensive range that caters for all customers, including good quality products that are keenly priced for the packaging market, next to cutting-edge biodegradable hot melts for packaging.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2024, Power Adhesives launched\u00a0Tecbond\u00a02014B<\/a>, a biodegradable hot melt adhesive designed for cartons, corrugated packaging, point-of-sale displays, and contract packing businesses.<\/p>\n
