How does TECBOND 214B break down?
UV light, oxygen and heat get things started
Together, these elements will initiate the breakdown of the long chain polymers within the adhesive. Once started, the process is irreversible
Material is consumed by micro-organisms*
After the long-chain polymers have been broken down, they can be consumed by micro-organisms in the same way natural waste is.
Naturally occurring environmental conditions required
After initial exposure to UV light, oxygen and heat, the adhesive only requires the continued presence of oxygen to continue to breakdown.
Leaves behind no harmful products
The breakdown process leaves behind a mixture of non-harmful products, and no microplastics.
*Tecbond 214B is certified to ASTM D6400, EN13432, ASTM D6954 and ASTM D6866 standard.
44% bio-based
Formulated using 44% bio-based materials, 214B breaks down after use with no harmful effects to nature.
