Tecbond 114 is an economical, off-white coloured hot melt adhesive designed for most packaging applications involving uncoated cardboard. It’s short open time of around 10 seconds speeds up production processes by allowing substrates to be bonded and moved without the need for extended compression periods.
Primarily designed for the manual carton closing industry, Tecbond 114 is a more cost-effective and reliable solution when compared to tapes and staples.
Tecbond 6002 is a pale amber, low-odour packaging adhesive designed for high-speed packaging runs where fast setting speeds are required. Predominantly used for carton closing and wrap around packaging, Tecbond 6002 will bond most paper and cardboard substrates.
Its very high molten tack, along with its short open time means bonds are near instantaneous upon compression, within little-to-no holding time required.
Tecbond 268 is a white hot melt adhesive designed to bond polyolefin plastics. Formulated to with a greater high and low temperature resistance than other comparable grades, Tecbond 268 can also be used to bond materials such as polycarbonate, nylon, rigid PVC, and light gauge metals.
Mainly used in the production of crash helmets, sun visors, automotive trim, and white goods (fridges, washing machines, etc.), Tecbond 268 is the perfect adhesive for many product-assembly applications with its high bond strength and effectiveness on a range of substrates outside of just polyolefin plastics.
Vactac 300 is a sprayable hot melt adhesive designed to hold reinforcement materials used in the vacuum infusion process. Vactac 300 is the highest performance vacuum infusion grade from Power Adhesives, providing an instant, very high tack in tandem with a nine-minute open time, allowing the reinforcement materials to be re-positioned until they are pushed firmly onto the adhesive.
The adhesive is clear when applied to reduce print-through on gelcoat infusion and RTM applications.
Used in tandem with the Tec spray applicators, the adhesive is free from VOCs, hazardous materials and propellants, making it safer for both users and the environment. Vactac 300 is the recommended adhesive for the most demanding dry lay-up processes.
Vactac 250 is a sprayable adhesive for securing multiple layers of glass mat, foams, balsa, peel plies, bleeders, release films and other reinforcement materials used in the vacuum infusion process. Vactac 250 has a higher output than Vactac 100 and is pigmented blue for easy visibility upon application.
Used in tandem with the Tec spray applicators, the adhesive is free from VOCs, hazardous materials and propellants making it safer for both users and the environment. Vactac 250 has a very aggressive tack ensuring an almost instant hold upon compression.
Casttec 44 is an off-white, long open time precast adhesive designed to withstand repeated pour cycles without needing to be replaced. Casttec 44 has been specifically formulated to bond the most difficult materials including polypropylene, polyethylene, and light foam-work. Additionally, this grade has the ability to be applied via spray or bead.
Replacing the need for welding or bolting inserts to precast forms, Casttec 44 provides a less destructive, cost-saving alternative for precast concrete manufacturers.
Casttec 44 will begin to crystalise after around 8–10 hours, allowing for easy removal beyond the 24–48-hour period. Along with Casttec 43, Casttec 44 has the longest open time of any Casttec adhesive, allowing it to be used for much larger forms and complex inserts, without the worry of the glue setting before the substrates are brought together.
Tecbond 440 is a polyolefin-based hot melt adhesive designed for use with Tec spray applicators.
The formulation is a very high-performance adhesive designed for use on cardboard, wood, foam and many plastics, even those that have proved difficult to bond. Formulated with a to have an open time of around four minutes when sprayed, Tecbond 440 is ideal for many tough packaging and product assembly applications.
Its high tack leads to a near instant hold and restricts creeping in the compressed bonds.
The adhesive has also been tested against fire, smoke and toxicity, with the results indicating the adhesive is suitable for use with hazard level 2 applications in relation to EN 45545-2 (Rail).
Tecbond 214B is a biodegradable packaging adhesive, formulated with 45% bio-based, sustainably sourced raw materials. Tecbond 214B is based on the best-selling Tecbond 214 packaging adhesive.
The degradation process will occur in the presence of oxygen. When the adhesive is exposed to ultraviolet light, the speed of the degradation process is greatly increased. The adhesive should be kept away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Tecbond 214B’s short open time speeds up carton closing procedures, with no need for extended holding or clamping periods after compression. Coupled with the adhesives cost per closure, Tecbond 214B is the ideal replacement for staples or tape for cardboard bonding applications.
Tecbond 1X is a woodworking and packaging adhesive designed to bond cardboard, paper, and wood substrates. Tecbond 1X has been specifically formulated to have a lower viscosity than many other market comparable adhesives, resulting in better surface penetration and tighter final joints.
Alongside tighter joints, Tecbond 1X’s low viscosity provides excellent output when used in conjunction with Tec applicators.
Tecbond 1942 is a packaging and woodworking adhesive designed to bond difficult substrates to wooden surfaces. Some of these substrates include nylon, ABS, rigid PVC, melamine and light-gauge metals.
Tecbond 1942 has been formulated to have a short open time, leading to increased installation speed and providing a strong bond within minutes of compression.
Vactac 350 is a sprayable hot melt adhesive designed to hold reinforcement materials used in the vacuum infusion process. Vactac 350 is the highest performance vacuum infusion grade from Power Adhesives, providing an instant, very high tack in tandem with a 9 minute open time, allowing the reinforcement materials to be re-positioned until they are pushed firmly onto the adhesive.
The adhesive is pigmented red to help users identify both the correct spray pattern, and reduce the likelihood of over-application.
Used in tandem with the Tec spray applicators, the adhesive is free from VOCs, hazardous materials and propellants, making it safer for both users and the environment. Vactac 350 is the recommended adhesive for the most demanding dry lay-up processes.
Vactac 200 is a dark amber sprayable adhesive for securing multiple layers of glass mat, foams, balsa, peel plies, bleeders, release films and other reinforcement materials used in the vacuum infusion process. Vactac 200 has a higher output than Vactac 100 and its darker colour makes it easier to see upon application.
Used in tandem with the Tec spray applicators, the adhesive is free from VOCs, hazardous materials and propellants making it safer for both users and the environment. Vactac 200 has a very aggressive tack ensuring an almost instant hold upon compression.
