In an announcement about the new product on Power Adhesives’ website, Brendan Colgan, chief executive officer of the company, said, “This is an exciting time for the packaging industry. All players in the supply chain are working hard to drive sustainable products and processes into the market to support brands and consumers, and this is truly a groundbreaking moment for the packaging adhesives sector.

“Brands and their packaging partners often expect new sustainable solutions to come at a premium cost. With Tecbond 214B, we’re delivering the adhesive quality and performance our customers have come to rely on combined with the same competitive pricing – no compromise. We recognise that the climate emergency is driving entire industries to step up and become more sustainable. While we’re working on our sustainability journey, we hope this innovation will lead the way for the packaging adhesives industry.”

The company stated that the product is available globally. Tecbond 214B reportedly offers the same performance characteristics as the company’s standard Tecbond, which includes a high level of tack and fast setting speed. This offers almost an instant bond upon application and compression, which allows companies to increase packaging efficiency.

Power Adhesives also reports that Tecbond 214B is approved for indirect food contact. This allows the adhesive to be used in all areas of food packaging.
