Tecbond 440 Sprayable Packaging & Product Assembly Hot Melt Glue Slugs

Power Adhesives Tecbond 440 is a polyolefin-based adhesive engineered primarily for spray application, with the flexibility to be extruded as a bead or dot for targeted placement. Supplied in 1 3/4" (43mm) glue slugs, this formulation delivers high-performance bonding in demanding packaging and product assembly tasks and performs reliably on cardboard, wood, foam, and many plastics, including surfaces that are typically difficult to bond.

When spray applied, the adhesive provides a very long open time of approximately six minutes, supporting accurate placement and adjustment during assembly. After application, it forms an aggressive coating that sets into a tough, resilient bond with high initial tack to help restrict creeping in compressed joints. Tecbond 440 is suitable for hazard level 2 applications related to fire, smoke, and toxicity standards.
