Tecbond 14 Fast-Setting Packaging Hot Melt Glue Sticks

Power Adhesives Tecbond 14 is a high-delivery EVA adhesive designed for use on most paper and cardboard substrates. It is available in 1/2" (12mm) and 5/8" (15 mm) hot melt glue sticks and offers a very fast setting time, making it ideal for securing packages more efficiently than taping or stapling.

The low viscosity formulation helps reduce stringing and improve output, ensuring bonds are made with a minimal gap between surfaces. Because the bond sets almost instantly, there is no need to hold materials in place when using these hot glue sticks.
