Power Adhesives Tecbond 7718 Polyamide Hot Glue Sticks

Tecbond 7718 Potting and Encapsulation Hot Glue Sticks

Power Adhesives Tecbond 7718 is a polyamide adhesive formulated for potting, encapsulation, and wood repair applications where controlled flow and reliable bonding are required. These products are supplied as 1/2" (12mm) glue sticks and feature a very low viscosity that allows the adhesive to flow easily into voids, cavities, and complex component geometries.

The adhesive sets very hard to support fast production without the need for mixing, making it a practical solution for repeatable, professional results. The sticks are well suited for concealing electronic components or blending with wood during knot and crack repair. Its low shrinkage characteristics create a durable finish that can be trimmed and sanded once set.

Tecbond 7718 Product Benefits

• Optimized Flow Rate: Enhances flow and penetration through very low viscosity characteristics.
