UK-based company Power Adhesives has announced the release of a biodegradable hot melt adhesive, which marks a significant development in the packaging industry.<\/p>\n

The new product, called tecbond 2014B, is designed for use by businesses in cartons, corrugated packaging, point-of-sale (POS) converters, and contract packers.<\/p>\n

Certified biodegradable and compostable<\/h2>\n

tecbond 2014B has been fully certified to break down without leaving harmful residues or microplastics behind. <\/p>\n

It meets both the ASTM D6400 and EN13432 standards, which regulate the compostability and biodegradability of products.<\/p>\n

The adhesive is made from 44% biobased materials, further supporting its environmentally friendly profile.<\/p>\n

Same performance, sustainable advantage<\/h2>\n

Although tecbond 2014B is designed to be environmentally sustainable, Power Adhesives has stated that it performs at the same level as its standard adhesives.<\/p>\n
