Power Adhesives Tecbond 523 All-Purpose Plasterboard Hot Melt Glue Slugs
Tecbond 523 is a pale amber EVA adhesive developed for plasterboard and drywall fabrication in production environments. These 1 3/4" (43mm) hot melt glue slugs provide an economical v-groove solution that balances adhesion, working time, and output to support efficient assembly workflows.
The adhesive flows effectively into porous substrates to form a secure, consistent bond while reducing working times compared to tapes, tacks, and screws. High molten tack removes the need for extended holding or clamping, delivering a finished bond so strong that the plasterboard will break before the adhesive fails.
Why Choose Tecbond 523 Hot Melt Glue Slugs
- Workflow Efficiency: Decreases working times compared to tapes, tacks, and screws.
