Power Adhesives Tecbond 342 Triwall Packaging Hot Melt Glue Sticks
Tecbond 342 is a high viscosity EVA adhesive formulated for reliable bonding of paper, cardboard, and wood in demanding packaging and assembly environments. These hot melt glue sticks are supplied in a 1/2" (12mm) format and are specifically designed to bond triwall and other stiff boards that are difficult to secure.
Engineered for production workflows requiring immediate grab, this adhesive delivers extremely high tack to control materials with high spring back or memory. The very short open time allows strong bonds to form within seconds, supporting fast throughput, while the white formulation provides clean, consistent results for visible cable attachment in telephone, computer, and alarm applications.
