Power Adhesives Tecbond 561 Hot Melt Glue Slugs

Tecbond 561 Shock-Resistant Plasterboard Hot Melt Glue Slugs

Power Adhesives Tecbond 561 is an EVA-based adhesive formulated for professional plasterboard and drywall fabrication. These 1 3/4" (43mm) glue slugs feature a low viscosity that enhances flow and surface penetration, helping create tough, consistent bonds that increase the handling strength of finished elements.

Designed for clean and reliable V-groove assembly, the adhesive sets quickly with aggressive molten tack that eliminates the need for extended clamping or holding. The finished bond is so strong that the plasterboard will typically fail before the adhesive, supporting dependable performance in construction and trade environments.

Key Features of Tecbond 561 Glue Slugs

• Enhanced Shock Resistance: Creates a tough bond that increases the durability and handling strength of drywall elements.
