Power Adhesives Unveils Tecbond 110B-PR: A Biodegradable Breakthrough for Packaging
In a significant move toward sustainable packaging solutions, Power Adhesives, a global innovator in hot melt adhesive technology, has launched Tecbond 110B-PR — a game-changing biodegradable bulk adhesive engineered for high-speed case sealing and carton closing.
With this launch, Power Adhesives strengthens its commitment to driving eco-friendly innovation within the packaging industry. Tecbond 110B-PR joins the company’s growing line of environmentally responsible adhesives, offering customers a sustainable choice without sacrificing performance.
Designed specifically for demanding end-of-line (EOL) packaging operations, Tecbond 110B-PR is a low-viscosity adhesive that excels in high-speed manufacturing environments. Its advanced formulation allows it to be applied at lower temperatures through narrow nozzles, cutting down energy consumption while delivering strong, secure bonds on carton and board substrates. With a rapid 10-second open time, it is ideal for fast-paced packaging lines, helping manufacturers boost efficiency without compromising adhesive strength.
Brendan Colgan, CEO of Power Adhesives, commented on the launch, saying, “Tecbond 110B-PR represents a major step forward in sustainable adhesive technology. It offers all the performance benefits of bulk adhesives, with the added advantage of biodegradability. This new product helps our customers meet their operational goals while aligning with their growing focus on environmental responsibility.”
Tecbond 110B-PR now stands alongside Tecbond 214B as part of the world’s first fully certified biodegradable hot melt adhesive range available in both shaped and bulk formats. Together, these adhesives give brands and packaging converters powerful tools to meet their green packaging commitments, from case sealing to carton closing applications.
Certified under major environmental standards such as ASTM D6400, EN13432, ASTM D6954, and ASTM D6866, the Tecbond biodegradable range meets the stringent requirements for industrial composting and biodegradability. These adhesives naturally decompose under the influence of oxygen, UV light, and heat, breaking down into harmless by-products without leaving behind harmful microplastics.
With Tecbond 110B-PR, Power Adhesives continues to pave the way for innovative, sustainable solutions in the packaging sector.
