Power Adhesives, a hot melt adhesive technology company, has launched Tecbond 110B-PR, a new biodegradable bulk adhesive designed for high-speed case sealing and carton closing.
This latest launch reinforces Power Adhesives’ commitment to producing innovative bonding solutions and further expands the recently launched bulk adhesive range, giving customers environmentally responsible options for large-scale industrial applications.
Tecbond 110B-PR is a low-viscosity, high-speed packaging adhesive formulated to deliver exceptional performance in end-of-line (EOL) packaging operations. Its unique formulation enables it to run through narrow nozzles at lower temperatures, reducing energy consumption while maintaining strong, reliable bonds on carton and board substrates. With a 10-second open time, it is ideal for fast-paced packaging lines, helping manufacturers increase efficiency without compromising on adhesive strength.
Brendan Colgan, chief executive officer of Power Adhesives, said, “The launch of Tecbond 110B-PR is an exciting step in expanding our biodegradable adhesive offering. Designed for high-speed packaging lines, it combines the efficiency and cost benefits of bulk adhesives while giving customers an environmentally responsible solution that performs exceptionally while supporting their sustainability goals.”
This launch marks a major milestone for Power Adhesives, as Tecbond 110B-PR joins Tecbond 214B to form the world’s first fully certified biodegradable range of hot melt adhesives, available in both shaped and bulk formats. Together, they offer sustainably focused solutions for a wide range of packaging needs, from case sealing to carton closing, helping brands and packaging converters meet their environmental goals.
The Tecbond biodegradable range is certified to leading environmental standards, including ASTM D6400, EN13432, ASTM D6954, as well as ASTM D6866 to confirm the biobased content, ensuring compliance with industrial composting and biodegradability requirements.
The company claims that these adhesives break down naturally under exposure to oxygen, UV light, and heat, leaving behind only non-harmful by-products and no microplastics, making them ideal for sustainably led packaging solutions.
