Power Adhesives has announced a major expansion of its Tecbond biodegradable hot melt adhesive range, introducing three new grades that strengthen its leadership in sustainable bonding solutions for packaging and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new products, Tecbond 902B-PL, 351B-PR, and 355B-PR, join the pioneering Tecbond 214B and 110B-PR, the world\u2019s first fully certified biodegradable hot melt adhesives. Together, they create a comprehensive portfolio of adhesives designed to meet the demands of both sustainability and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All Tecbond biodegradable grades comply with EN 13432 and ASTM D6400, ensuring they biodegrade fully under industrial composting conditions without leaving microplastics or harmful residues. The full range of grades has also achieved CHIRA assessment approval, confirming that they are benign within paper recycling streams and have no adverse effects on the pulping or recovery process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ross Cunningham, Chief Executive Officer at Power Adhesives, commented: \u201cThis expanded range gives converters and brand owners more flexibility than ever to meet the EU\u2019s evolving Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt also demonstrates that sustainability and performance can coexist \u2013 these adhesives are engineered to deliver the same speed, strength, and reliability customers expect from Tecbond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each grade has been formulated for specific applications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Tecbond 902B-PL \u2013 A bulk pillow adhesive containing 51% bio-based content, offering very high tack and permanent pressure sensitivity, ideal for labelling applications, and bonding paper, board, wood, and plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Tecbond 351B-PR \u2013 A clean-running and odourless low-viscosity bulk adhesive formulated to reduce filter and nozzle blockages and improve process efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Tecbond 355B-PR \u2013 Designed for coated or laminated packaging, this bulk adhesive provides clean-running, low-temperature performance with a 10-second open time, making it ideal for freezer applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All products are suitable for use in high-speed packaging lines and precision manufacturing, offering reliable adhesion to a wide variety of substrates, including fibre-based, plastic, and coated materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With further grades currently in development, Power Adhesives continues to push the boundaries of biodegradable technology, helping converters and manufacturers future-proof their operations against tightening global sustainability regulations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
