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.

Tecbond 5

Written by Power Adhesives on .

Tecbond 5 is a specialist woodworking and carpentry adhesive developed for use on both soft and hardwoods. As well as replacing the need for tacks and screws in many circumstances, Tecbond 5’s properties make it the ideal holding adhesive for temporary bonding applications.

A polymer-based hot melt adhesive, Tecbond 5 is designed for bonding interior trim, drawer bottoms, templates, cabinet backs, and glue blocks. Although designed to be used predominantly on wood, its high tack and excellent adhesion mean Tecbond 5 can also bond many plastics, ceramics, and light gauge metals.

Tecbond 23

Written by Power Adhesives on .

Tecbond 23 is an EVA-based multi-purpose product assembly adhesive designed for use on fabrics, ceramics, wood, and many plastics such as PVC, polycarbonate, and acrylics (not PP or PE). This makes it a good all-around adhesive for product assembly and construction applications.

The adhesives extended open and working time provide security in the production process, allowing adjustments to be made shortly after initial compression before the final bond is made.
