Sustainable Packaging Adhesive: Introducing The World’s First Fully Certified Biodegradable Hot Melt
TECHSiL Ltd, in partnership with leading hot melt manufacturer Power Adhesives, are excited to announce the ground-breaking release of Tecbond 214B, a revolutionary packaging adhesive that marks a significant milestone in eco-friendly adhesive technology. As businesses worldwide increasingly prioritise sustainability in their operations, Tecbond 214B emerges as a compelling choice for environmentally conscious packaging applications.
As the world’s first fully certified biodegradable shaped hot melt adhesive, 214B offers unparalleled sustainability without compromising on performance. Clair Edmunds, TECHSiL Internal Sales Manager comments on the launch: ““We are thrilled to collaborate with Power Adhesives to introduce Tecbond 214B, a game-changing biodegradable packaging adhesive. With Tecbond 214B, we are able to provide our Customers with a sustainable solution that not only meets their performance requirements but also aligns with their environmental values.”
Formulated using biodegradable materials, Tecbond 214B ensures minimal environmental impact. Its breakdown process starts upon exposure to oxygen, UV light and heat – all naturally occurring environmental conditions – as the long-chain polymers are broken down, it allows the material to eventually be consumed by micro-organisms. A process which leaves behind only non-harmful products – no microplastics!
This high quality packaging adhesives is non-toxic, made using 44% bio-based materials and is certified to ASTM D6400, EN13432, ASTM D6954 and ASTM D6866 standards. The launch of this new product is a testament to TECHSiL’s continued journey and commitment to providing high-quality, eco-friendly solutions.
With versatile sizing options, 214B can accommodate diverse packaging application needs; available in 12mm, 15mm and 43mm it can be sourced to suit any size tec glue gun from lightweight handheld tools to heavy duty pneumatic dispensing.
