Power Adhesives Tecbond 351B Biodegradable EVA for High-Speed Packaging

Tecbond 351B Fast-Setting Biodegradable EVA Hot Melt

Power Adhesives Tecbond 351B is a biodegradable, EVA-based hot melt adhesive engineered for fast-setting performance in high-speed packaging lines.

Common Applications for Tecbond 351B

Thanks to its low viscosity, the Tecbond 351B biodegradable EVA hot melt adhesive runs cleanly through bulk hot melt systems. It reduces downtime from nozzle blockages for smooth application during long production runs.

With high molten tack, low odor, and exceptional heat stability, the Tecbond 351B biodegradable EVA reliably bonds paper and cardboard substrates in both warm and cool ambient temperatures.

• General Packaging: Performs dependably across a wide range of paper and cardboard applications
• Case and Carton Sealing: Creates strong, consistent bonds for high-speed packaging operations
• Tray Assembly: Maintains integrity with complex folds and varied packaging substrates
• Packaging Inserts: Secures inserts during shipping to prevent product movement
• Point-of-Sale Displays: Provides clean, reliable bonds without affecting presentation
• Food & Beverage Packaging: FDA 175.105 compliant for indirect food contact in food and beverage packaging

Biodegradable Formula

The Tecbond 351B biodegradable hot melt EVA is composed of 45% bio-based materials. Under controlled industrial composting, exposure to heat, oxygen, and UV light initiates the degradation process. Once the adhesive’s polymer chains break down, naturally occurring microorganisms digest the remaining material. Ultimately, there are no microplastics or other harmful residues left behind.

This biodegradable EVA meets the following recognized environmental certifications:

• ASTM D6400
• ASTM D6866
• ASTM D6954
• EN13432

Consequently, Tecbond 351B offers an environmentally responsible option for bulk hot melt applications.
