Tecbond 550 Low Viscosity Plasterboard & Drywall Hot Melt Glue Slugs

Power Adhesives Tecbond 550 Low Viscosity Plasterboard Adhesive Hot Melt Glue Slugs

Tecbond 550 is an EVA-based amber v-groove adhesive engineered for large-scale plasterboard and drywall fabrication where throughput and bond consistency are critical. These 1 3/4" (43mm) hot melt glue slugs offer lower viscosity and higher output than Tecbond 523, supporting tighter joins and efficient material placement.

The low viscosity formulation allows the adhesive to flow deeply into porous plasterboard surfaces to enhance physical bond strength. Very high molten tack provides an almost instant hold without extended clamping, helping maintain fast production cycles while delivering durable, reliable bonds.

Performance Advantages of Tecbond 550 Glue Slugs

• Optimized Penetration: Low viscosity enables effective flow into porous surfaces for tighter joins.
• Instant Hold: Very high molten tack eliminates the need for extended holding or clamping periods.
• High Output: Formulated to deliver higher applicator output for efficient workflows.
• Superior Bond Strength: Produces a bond strong enough that the plasterboard will fail before the adhesive.
• FDA Compliance: Meets FDA 175.105 requirements for indirect food contact.

Glue Slugs Per Carton

• 22 lbs of 1 3/4" × 1 3/4" glue slugs is approximately 176 glue slugs.
