Biodegradable Hot Melt Adhesive for Automated Packaging

Power Adhesives Tecbond 110B Biodegradable Adhesive

Power Adhesives is changing the game. With the creation of Tecbond 110B, they are allowing businesses to choose a more sustainable adhesive solution to traditional bulk hot melt without sacrificing quality or price.

Common Applications

Tecbond 110B is an innovative biodegradable automated packaging adhesive formulated for high-speed case sealing and carton closing. Its low-viscosity composition allows it to flow smoothly through narrow nozzles while operating at lower temperatures. This also reduces energy use without compromising adhesive strength.

With a 10-second open time, this fast-setting case-sealing adhesive supports efficient end-of-line (EOL) packaging operations, making it ideal for manufacturers looking to enhance productivity while prioritizing sustainability. This adhesive also meets FDA 175.105 standards, so it is safe for indirect food contact.

Biodegradable

Engineered to meet rigorous EN13432, ASTM D6400, ASTM D6954, and ASTM D6866 environmental certifications, the Tecbond 110B hot melt adhesive is designed to break down naturally when exposed to oxygen, UV light, and heat. Unlike traditional adhesives, it leaves no microplastics behind, providing an eco-conscious alternative for businesses seeking sustainable packaging solutions.

This biodegradable high-speed packaging adhesive will begin to degrade as soon as it is exposed to oxygen, UV light, and heat. As a result, it should be stored as instructed to limit exposure and potential problems. Keep the Tecbond 110B bulk hot glue in its original packaging, away from direct sunlight, and store between 41°F and 86°F (5°C and 30°C) until ready to use.
