Biodegradable Bulk Packaging Hot Melt Adhesive

Learn More About the Tecbond 214B Hot Melt Adhesive

These biodegradable hot glue pellets are a more sustainable bulk hot melt solution compared to standard hot melt products. This product is designed for large-scale packaging and industrial applications. A 45% bio-based adhesive, this product is 100% biodegradable while still providing excellent adhesion on various substrates, including cardboard and paper. The Tecbond 214B adhesive is engineered to deliver consistent performance while providing an environmentally-conscious solution for businesses.

Biodegradable under industrial composting conditions, the pellets begin to break down when exposed to oxygen, UV light, and heat—natural conditions that trigger the degradation of their synthetic polymer base. To maintain quality and effectiveness, store the bulk hot melt in its original packaging, away from direct sunlight, and at temperatures below 86°F (30°C). Due to their ASTM D6400 certification, these pellets decompose into non-harmful residues, providing an eco-conscious alternative for industrial adhesive needs.

Special Properties

• Eco-Conscious Degradation: As EN13432-, ASTM D6954-, and ASTM D6400-certified bulk hot melt, these pellets break down naturally after use without producing microplastics.
• Sustainably Sourced: Formulated with 45% bio-based materials from sustainable sources, this hot melt is 100% biodegradable, non-toxic, and safe for indirect food contact, complying with FDA 175.105 standards.
• Versatile Application: Ideal for large-scale packaging and industrial applications, these biodegradable hot melt glue pellets provide strong and reliable bonding on various substrates, including cardboard and paper.
• Environmentally Initiated Breakdown: Tecbond 214B is biodegradable with exposure to oxygen, UV light, and heat.
• Safe for All Stages: These packaging hot melt glue pellets are non-toxic both during application and decomposition. They only leave behind non-harmful products that microorganisms will ultimately consume.
