Vactac 100

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

Vactac 100 is an off-white 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. It’s five-minute open time extends the users overall working time, ensuring the adhesive does not set before a bond has been made.

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 100 has a very aggressive tack ensuring an almost instant hold upon compression. The adhesives off-white colour means it is near invisible once applied.

Tecbond 561

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

Tecbond 561 is a very high-performance v-groove adhesive for plasterboard and drywall fabrication. The adhesive creates a tougher, more shock resistant bond to increase the handling strength of the finished drywall elements.

Tecbond 561 has a low viscosity, improving adhesive flow and surface penetration, while its molten tack removes the need for extended holding or clamping periods. The finished bond is so strong, the plasterboard will break before the bond does.

Tecbond 550

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

Tecbond 550 is an amber v-groove adhesive for large-scale plasterboard and drywall fabrication. The adhesive is formulated with a higher output and lower viscosity than Tecbond 523, ideal for scenarios where tighter joins are required.

The adhesives low viscosity also allows it to effectively flow in the porous surface of the plasterboard, increasing physical bond strength, while its very high molten tack ensures an almost instant hold without the need for extended holding or clamping periods. The finished bond is so strong, the plasterboard will break before the bond does.

Tecbond 523

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

Tecbond 523 is a pale amber, economical, v-groove adhesive for plasterboard and drywall fabrication. The adhesive provides a good balance of adhesion, working time and output to ensure a solid bond, while decreasing working times when compared to tapes, tacks, and screws.

The adhesives viscosity allows it to effectively flow in the porous surface of the plasterboard, while its molten tack removes the need for extended holding or clamping periods. The finished bond is so strong, the plasterboard will break before the bond does.

Casttec 47

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

Casttec 47 is a pale amber, extended open time precast adhesive designed for environments where the ambient working temperature is high. This means it can be applied, allowed to set and then be cleanly removed at temperatures close to 40°C.

Able to bond wood, plastic, metal, and foam, Casttec 47 can be applied over a light oil, removing the need to clean surfaces before application.

Casttec 47 replaces the need for welding or bolting inserts to precast forms, providing a less destructive, cost-saving alternative for precast concrete manufacturers.

The adhesive will begin to crystalise after around 8–10 hours and after 24 hours, the adhesive is brittle enough to allow the easy removal of the bonded inserts even at temperatures as high as 40°C. The remaining glue can then be scraped off and disposed of.

Casttec 45

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

Casttec 45 is a dark amber precast adhesive, designed for environments where the ambient working temperature is low. This means it can be applied, allowed to set and then be cleanly removed at temperatures as low as 10°C. Able to bond wood, plastic, metal, and foam, Casttec 45 can be applied over a light oil, removing the need to clean surfaces before application.

Casttec 45 replaces the need for welding or bolting inserts to precast forms, providing a less destructive, cost-saving alternative for precast concrete manufacturers.

The adhesive will begin to crystalise after around 8–10 hours and after 24 hours, the adhesive is brittle enough to allow the easy removal of the bonded inserts, even at temperatures as low as 10°C. The remaining glue can then be scraped off and disposed of.

Casttec 43

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

Casttec 43 is an off-white, extended open time precast adhesive designed to withstand repeated pour cycles without needing to be replaced. Able to bond materials such as wood, plastic, metal, and foam, Casttec 43 it can be applied over a light oil, removing the need to clean surfaces before application.

Replacing the need for welding or bolting inserts to precast forms, Casttec 43 provides a less destructive, cost-saving alternative for precast concrete manufacturers.

Casttec 43 will begin to crystalise after around 8–10 hours, allowing for easy removal beyond the 24–48-hour period. The adhesive also has double the open time of any other Casttec adhesive, allowing much larger and more complex inserts to be glued before being bonded to the necessary substrate.

Casttec 42

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

Casttec 42 is a light-brown, general-purpose precast adhesive designed to offer a strong, secure bonds between wood, plastic, metal, and foam. It can be applied over a light oil, removing the need to clean surfaces before application.

Casttec 42 replaces the need for welding or bolting inserts to precast forms, providing a less destructive, cost-saving alternative for precast concrete manufacturers.

The adhesive will begin to crystalise after around 8–10 hours and after 24 hours, the adhesive is brittle enough to allow the easy removal of the bonded inserts. The remaining glue can then be scraped off and disposed of.

Casttec 40

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

Casttec 40 is an off-white, extended open time precast adhesive developed for applications utilising fiberglass, resin-coated, and epoxy coated foams. Casttec 40 is formulated to be easily removable without causing surface damage to coated bed surfaces.

Casttec 40 replaces the need for welding or bolting inserts to precast forms, providing a less destructive, cost-saving alternative for precast concrete manufacturers.

The adhesive will begin to crystalise after around 8–10 hours and after 24 hours, the adhesive is brittle enough to allow the easy removal of the bonded inserts. The remaining glue can then be scraped off and disposed of.

Casttec 39

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

Casttec 39 is a clear precast adhesive designed to applied at lower temperatures, making it the ideal adhesive for heat-sensitive substrates. It can be applied over a light oil, removing the need to clean surfaces before application.

Casttec 39 replaces the need for welding or bolting inserts to precast forms, providing a less destructive, cost-saving alternative for precast concrete manufacturers.

The adhesive will begin to crystalise after around 8–10 hours and after 24 hours, the adhesive is brittle enough to allow the easy removal of the bonded inserts. The remaining glue can then be scraped off and disposed of.

Foundrytec 708

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

Foundrytec 708 is an amber coloured, polyamide-based hot melt adhesive designed for bonding sand cores in the foundry industry. Foundrytec 708 has class-leading heat-resistance and allows finished cores to be oven dried at much higher temperatures.

When compared to Foundrytec 705, Foundrytec 708 has a lower viscosity for tighter joins between core pieces and a shorter open time leading to faster formation of the overall bond.

Foundrytec 701

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

Foundrytec 701 is a white, hot melt adhesive designed for bonding sand cores in the foundry industry. Foundrytec 701 has excellent heat-resistance, ideal for foundries that oven dry finished cores at temperatures of around 90°C to 100°C.

The adhesives long open time facilitates use with larger core sections that may not be brought together immediately after adhesive application. In some instances, bonds may take up to 24 hours to develop maximum heat resistance and bond strength.
