Vactac 300

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

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

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

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.

Tecbond 440-PL

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

Tecbond 440-PL is a high-performance bulk hot melt adhesive that provides near instant bonds on a number of substrates including cardboard, wood, foam and many plastics.

Designed to work with both spray and bead applicators, the adhesive has an open time up to four minutes in spray form and slightly longer in bead format.

Predominantly used in product assembly applications, Tecbond 440-PL is clean running and works with most automated application machinery.

Tecbond 430-PL

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

Tecbond 430-PL is a bulk sprayable hot melt adhesive, formulated to have a longer open time for larger bonding applications. The adhesive is compatible with bulk spray machinery including XY plotters.

Designed for use on wood, plastics, and many board substrates, Tecbond 430-PL has an open time of up to six minutes, ideal for industries who don’t always compress substrates immediately after adhesive application.

Tecbond 430-PL exhibits good heat resistance for a sprayable adhesive, with bonds able to experience temperatures of up to 90°C without failing.

The adhesive cools rapidly upon extrusion ensuring it doesn’t melt or burn sensitive substrates, while the increased coverage ensures there is a much stronger bond than possible with traditional bead application.

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.

Vactac 350

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

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

Written by Ellis Fowler on .

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.

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.

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 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.
