Tecbond 342 Triwall Packaging Hot Glue Sticks

Power Adhesives Tecbond 342 is an EVA-based adhesive engineered to deliver dependable performance when bonding difficult substrates with high memory or spring back. These hot melt glue sticks are supplied in a 1/2" (12mm) format and are compatible with paper, cardboard, and wood, with specific suitability for triwall and other stiff boards.
