What is Tombow PiT Hi-Power S Aroma?

It is a strong glue stick with a light scent. Tombow describes it as a scented version of its standard PiT Hi-Power glue stick, in three popular scents: an elegant rose, a refreshing grapefruit and a gentle fresh floral. The aroma is described as faint, so it can be used in an office or at school without bothering anyone.

The adhesive is the same as the plain PiT Hi-Power, which Tombow says bonds strongly and quickly from ordinary paper to card. Only the scent and the single size are different.

What scents, size and price does it come in?

Three scents, one 10 g size. Tombow lists these, all with tax.

Scent	Part number	Glue weight	Price with tax
Rose	PT-TPK01	10 g	154 yen (about US$0.97)
Grapefruit	PT-TPK02	10 g	154 yen (about US$0.97)
Fresh floral	PT-TPK03	10 g	154 yen (about US$0.97)

Who is the Hi-Power S Aroma for?

It suits people who want a standard strong glue stick that smells pleasant while they work. The fact behind that is Tombow’s pitch: the same adhesive as Hi-Power, plus a faint scent made for shared offices and classrooms.

Skip it if you are sensitive to fragrance, or want to see where you have glued: Tombow describes no color-changing glue here, and the Kieiro PiT is the blue-to-clear type.

How does it stick?

Tombow says it matches Hi-Power. The page says the adhesive is the same as PiT Hi-Power, so it bonds from general paper to card strongly and speedily. There is no test or peel figure. Tombow also says that on some papers the glue may peel easily, in which case you should put on more glue. It adds that glue left to dry before you stick may stop bonding, so press the paper down straight after gluing.

What should you watch out for?

Wind it out 3 to 4 mm, cap it, and keep it away from receipts. Tombow says the stick may not wind back in if you push it out too far. Always cap it after use and avoid heat. On receipts and other thermal paper, printing can fade. Keep it away from small children, and do not use it for anything but gluing.

What is it made of?

A recycled-plastic body. Tombow lists the Aroma stick as a Green Tombow product with at least 70% recycled plastic by weight excluding the glue, the Eco Mark, Green Purchasing Law compliance and a listing on the GPN eco-products site. The cap colors we show are sampled from Tombow’s product image and are representative.

Where is it made, and what does it cost?

Tombow’s page doesn’t state a country of manufacture. The company is based in Tokyo. At 154 yen with tax (about US$0.97), it is in our $ band (under $5), and each scent costs the same. See the Shiwa Nashi PiT guide for Tombow’s glue stick aimed at paper that wrinkles.
