TECHSiL Ltd, in partnership with leading hot melt manufacturer Power Adhesives, released the ground-breaking TECBOND 214B earlier in the year, a revolutionary packaging adhesive that marks a significant milestone in eco-friendly adhesive technology. As businesses worldwide increasingly prioritise sustainability in their operations, TECBOND 214B emerges as a compelling choice for environmentally conscious packaging applications.
As the world’s first fully certified biodegradable shaped hot melt adhesive, 214B offers unparalleled sustainability without compromising on performance. Clair Edmunds, TECHSiL Inside Sales Manager, comments on the launch:
““We are thrilled to collaborate with Power Adhesives to introduce TECBOND 214B, a game-changing biodegradable packaging adhesive which is already causing a big stir within the market. With TECBOND 214B, we’re able to provide our Customers with a sustainable solution that not only meets their performance requirements but also aligns with their environmental values.”

How Does it Work?
Formulated using biodegradable materials, TECBOND 214B ensures minimal environmental impact. Its breakdown process starts upon exposure to oxygen, UV light and heat – all naturally occurring environmental conditions – as the long-chain polymers are broken down, it allows the material to eventually be consumed by micro-organisms. A process which leaves behind only non-harmful products – no microplastics and contributes less to long-term waste problems.
Biodegradable adhesives offer several advantages in packaging, contributing to environmental sustainability and improving waste management. Traditional adhesives often contain synthetic chemicals that can be harmful to the environment. By switching to TECBOND 214B, companies can reduce their environmental impact as this biodegradable adhesive breaks down into non-toxic components, reducing pollution and the negative impact on ecosystems.
Packaging that uses biodegradable adhesives can be composted or more easily recycled. This helps reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, addressing a major environmental concern. The production and disposal of TECBOND 214B results in lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to its synthetic counterparts, contributing to a reduction in overall carbon footprint.
This high-quality packaging adhesive is non-toxic, made using 44% bio-based materials, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and supports a more sustainable production cycle. It is also certified to ASTM D6400, EN13432, ASTM D6954 and ASTM D6866 standards. The launch of this new product is a testament to TECHSiL’s continued journey and commitment to providing high-quality, eco-friendly solutions.
