Tecbond 14 Fast-Setting Packaging Hot Melt Glue Slugs

Power Adhesives Tecbond 14 is a fast-setting EVA adhesive formulated for use on paper and cardboard substrates. It is supplied in 1-3/4" (43mm) hot melt glue slugs and is designed to maximize delivery rate while setting quickly upon compression, making it well suited for carton closing and tray forming.

The low viscosity formulation helps reduce stringing and ensures consistent bonds with a minimal gap between surfaces. These hot glue slugs create an almost instantaneous bond, eliminating the need to hold materials in place and allowing packages to be secured faster than taping or stapling.
