Market or Application: Precast

Casttec 44

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

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.

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 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.
