Tecbond 550 Low Viscosity Plasterboard Adhesive Glue Slugs

Power Adhesives Tecbond 550 is an EVA-based adhesive developed for large-scale fabrication of plasterboard and drywall where strong, consistent bonds are required. These 1 3/4" (43mm) glue slugs feature a low viscosity formulation that allows the adhesive to flow deeply into porous surfaces for tighter joins and improved physical bond strength.

The formulation delivers very high molten tack for near-instant holding power without extended clamping. This dependable performance supports professional fabrication environments where strength, consistency, and reliability are critical.

Key Benefits of Tecbond 550 Hot Melt Glue Slugs

• Optimized Viscosity: Flows effectively into porous surfaces to increase physical bond strength.
• Instant Hold: High molten tack ensures adhesion without extended clamping periods.
• Superior Strength: Finished bond is strong enough that the plasterboard will break before the adhesive.
• Improved Output: Formulated to provide higher applicator output for large-scale fabrication.
• FDA Compliance: Meets FDA 175.105 for indirect food contact.

Glue Slugs Per Carton

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