Sprayable hot melt adhesives have become a game-changer for industries that need fast, consistent coverage over large surface areas without compromising bond quality. Now, with the relaunch of Power Adhesives’ sprayable hot melt range, we’re introducing a new addition, Tecbond 440.
Designed to meet the needs of packaging professionals and assembly teams across a variety of sectors, Tecbond 440 offers the perfect balance of open time, flexibility, and high-quality adhesion, making it ideal for complex or irregular applications.
The relaunch of our sprayable range reflects years of customer feedback, product development, and application testing. It’s about giving professionals the tools they need to work more efficiently while improving quality control, reducing waste, and enhancing safety. Tecbond 440 now joins this lineup as a versatile, high-performance option for those working with materials such as fabrics, foam, wood, and many plastics.
Why sprayable hot melts matter
Traditional bead application is perfect for linear bonds and smaller surface areas, but it’s not always the best fit for projects that require even adhesive coverage over wide or irregular shapes. That’s where sprayable hot melts come into their own. They spiralise the molten adhesive using compressed air, creating an adjustable spray pattern that can be applied quickly and evenly, without the excess weight or waste that comes from over-application.
This means a faster, more ergonomic process that improves workflow and reduces operator fatigue. It can also mean less downtime and fewer callbacks due to uneven bonding or weak spots. And for those working in sectors like upholstery, packaging, insulation, or product assembly, it means consistently high-quality finishes on every job.
What sets Tecbond 440 apart
Tecbond 440 is a synthetic polymer-based hot melt designed specifically for spray application, with a long open time that gives operators the flexibility to align, position, or adjust materials before the materials are fully compressed. This is especially valuable for complex assemblies where precision is just as important as speed.
Its formulation delivers strong, flexible bonds that withstand vibration, handling, and changes in temperature, essential for products and installations that need to perform over time. The adhesive is particularly effective on:
- Foam and fabrics – ideal for upholstery, acoustic panels, and insulation systems
- Wood and composites – suitable for decorative panelling, exhibition builds, and point-of-sale displays
- Certain plastics – including materials used in automotive interiors, consumer goods, and packaging
With a softening point of 105°C, and a brittle point of 0°C, Tecbond 440 provides reliable performance in environments where temperature fluctuations could otherwise compromise adhesive integrity.
Efficiency and safety benefits
Like all hot melts in the Power Adhesives sprayable range, Tecbond 440 is 100% solid and solvent-free, producing no harmful VOCs and no hazardous propellants. This not only makes it safer for operators, but also supports a cleaner, healthier working environment.
Spray application also enables highly efficient adhesive use. Operators can control spray width and pattern to match the substrate, reducing overspray and keeping costs under control. Combined with Power Adhesives’ Tec 6300 and Tec 7300 spray guns, the process becomes both precise and repeatable, qualities that are vital in high-volume projects.
Part of a proven, relaunched sprayable range
The addition of Tecbond 440 marks another step in the evolution of Power Adhesives’ sprayable range. With the recent relaunch, we’ve ensured that every product in the lineup has been reviewed and optimised for today’s manufacturing and installation demands. Whether you need a long open time for complex assemblies, or faster setting for rapid throughput, our range is designed to offer the right solution without compromise.
Tecbond 440 fills an important gap for those who want a balance between speed and flexibility, enough time to adjust materials before compression, but not so long that productivity suffers. And like the rest of the range, it’s designed to integrate seamlessly with our applicator systems, ensuring consistency from the first trigger pull to the last.
Looking ahead
The expansion of our sprayable range, including Tecbond 440, is part of Power Adhesives’ ongoing commitment to innovation, performance, and customer-driven development. We’re proud to offer adhesive solutions that don’t just meet today’s needs but anticipate tomorrow’s challenges, whether that’s in efficiency, safety, or sustainability.
With Tecbond 440, installers and manufacturers can achieve the speed, precision, and bond quality they need for demanding large-area applications, without compromising on operator safety or production efficiency. It’s the smart choice for those who expect more from their adhesive.
