Power Adhesives Tecbond 440 Sprayable Hot Melt Glue Slugs

Power Adhesives Tecbond 440 Sprayable Hot Melt Adhesive Overview

Tecbond 440 is a versatile, sprayable hot melt adhesive designed for packaging, product assembly, and industrial applications. Engineered with a polyolefin-based formula, it delivers a long open time of up to 6 minutes, ensuring flexibility during the bonding process. With high tack and strong adhesion, Tecbond 440 creates durable, resilient bonds on cardboard, wood, foam, and select plastics. It can be applied in spray, bead, or dot form, with bead and dot applications extending open time for added versatility.

Key Features and Benefits

• Extended Open Time: Up to 6 minutes, allowing precise material positioning before bonding.
  
• Strong Initial Tack: Provides instant grip, reducing material shift or creep after compression.
  
• Flexible Application Methods: Can be sprayed, beaded, or dotted depending on application needs.
  
• Multi-Material Adhesion: Bonds effectively to cardboard, wood, foam, and plastic surfaces.
  
• Designed for Bulk & Handheld Systems: Works with Tec spray applicators, XY plotters, and bulk hot melt machinery.
  
• Durable & Heat-Resistant: Withstands temperatures up to 185°F (85°C) for reliable performance.
  
• Food-Safe Compliance: Certified under FDA 175.105 for indirect food contact applications.
