Product Highlights

Tecbond 214B Large Hot Glue Gun Sticks

Many companies are in search of more environmentally friendly adhesive solutions like recyclable or compostable glue sticks. The Tecbond 214B large glue sticks from Power Adhesives are a cutting-edge product that is certified biodegradable to ASTM D6400 standards

Applications

These large eco-conscious glue sticks come in a 5/8" (15 mm) size and a pale amber color. They provide strong adhesion on cardboard and paper substrates specifically, so they are ideal for many packaging applications.  Because of their larger size, they offer a higher adhesive output and are great for more extensive packaging needs and larger materials compared to traditional glue sticks. They also meet FDA 175.105 standards so they can be used in the food and beverage industry.

More About Their Biodegradability

Formulated from sustainably sourced raw materials, they are 45% bio-based and designed for environmentally conscious applications. These non-toxic glue sticks begin to break down when exposed to oxygen, UV light, and heat—naturally occurring conditions that degrade its synthetic polymer base. Ultimately, they will decompose into non-harmful residues without leaving any microplastics behind. 

Biodegradable Certifications:

*To prevent premature degradation and maintain product integrity, store the Tecbond 214B 5/8" glue sticks in their original packaging, away from direct sunlight, and at temperatures below 86°F (30°C) until ready to use. The adhesive will begin to degrade as soon as it is exposed to oxygen, UV light, and heat, and should be stored as instructed to limit exposure.
