BioBond Adhesives Inc. announced its official entry into the packaging hot-melt market with the introduction of its BioMelt^™ SPKG500 and BioMelt^™ SPKG250 product offerings. Samples of these new plant-based solutions are now available.

According to Marc McConnaughey, CEO of BioBond, "The BioMelt line joins the company's existing plant-based BioCoat antimicrobial coatings and BioAdhere™ adhesive product lines. BioMelt is our third product segment that is made from plant-based components, USDA biopreferred with no odors and zero microplastics." 

"With excellent performance and very competitive pricing, we're introducing a game changer that will have an immediate and significant impact on the industry," said Brad Boelkins, vice president of business development. The company stated that it expects to scale volume production by the last quarter of 2025.

Dr. Clayton Westerman, BioBond's chief science officer, said, "The development of high-performing, cost-effective, and sustainable biobased products that meet industry demands is challenging. BioBond plans to expand its biobased hot-melt portfolio for packaging, with future products featuring faster curing times, higher biobased content, and eventually, pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs)."
