Fast-Setting Biodegradable EVA Hot Melt Adhesive for High-Speed Packaging

Power Adhesives Tecbond 351B Biodegradable EVA

Power Adhesives Tecbond 351B is a biodegradable EVA-based hot melt adhesive engineered for fast-setting performance in high-speed packaging lines.

A More Sustainable Option

Made with 45% bio-based content, Tecbond 351B provides an eco-friendly alternative to conventional bulk hot melt. As a biodegradable hot melt EVA, it has been tested to meet the following recognized environmental standards:

• ASTM D6400
• ASTM D6866
• ASTM D6954
• EN13432

Under industrial composting conditions, Tecbond 351B begins to break down when exposed to heat, UV light, and oxygen. As the polymer chains degrade, naturally occurring microorganisms complete the process, and no microplastics or harmful residues remain.

For best results, store Tecbond 351B in its original packaging sealed, away from direct sunlight, and at temperatures under 86°F (30°C).

Tecbond 351B Applications

This biodegradable hot melt EVA is great for the following applications:

• General Packaging: Performs dependably across a wide range of paper and cardboard applications
• Case and Carton Sealing: Creates secure bonds in high-volume production runs
• Tray Assembly: Maintains strength and integrity in complex folded packaging
• Packaging Inserts: Keeps inserts securely in place during shipping
• Point-of-Sale Displays: Delivers a clean bond without compromising visual presentation
• Indirect Food Contact Applications: FDA 175.105 compliant for indirect food contact

With high molten tack, low odor, and exceptional heat stability, Tecbond 351B retains bond integrity in both high and low ambient temperatures. It delivers low viscosity for smooth running through bulk hot melt systems— to help reduce nozzle clogging and minimize maintenance during long production runs.

Highlights of the Biodegradable EVA Hot Melt Glue

• Fast-Setting EVA Chemistry: Delivers rapid bond formation ideal for high-speed automated packaging lines
• Low Viscosity Application: Promotes smooth adhesive flow through bulk hot melt systems to reduce the risk of nozzle blockages
• High Molten Tack: Provides immediate grab for secure positioning of packaging materials
• Thermal Stability: Maintains performance during extended molten periods without charring or degradation
• FDA 175.105 Compliant: Safe for indirect food contact in a variety of packaging applications
• Eco-Conscious Degradation: Biodegradable EVA hot melt adhesive that breaks down without leaving microplastics behind
