Construction-grade quality adhesives

Power Adhesives’ range of tecbond hot melt adhesives offers a faster, non-destructive, and more cost-effective way to bond a wide range of materials. For maximum efficiency, tecbond adhesives have been designed to work in tandem with the tec range of corded and cordless glue guns.

Tecbond 5 – Specialist Woodworking and Carpentry Adhesive
  • Suitable for all soft woods and some hard woods
  • Delivers tighter joints for a strong finished product
  • Ideal for interior trim, drawer bottoms, cabinet backs, templating
  • Can be used to attach clamping blocks to Corian, granite and quartz kitchen tops
  • Works with any 11.5-12mm glue gun

Tecbond 5 is a specialist woodworking and carpentry adhesive.

The adhesive is low viscosity – which means it runs thinner – so it penetrates the wood and sets with minimal excess, to deliver a tight bond between the parts.

The low viscosity also gives higher glue gun output, which means less effort on the trigger and eliminates stringing at the nozzle.

Tecbond 238 – Electrician’s Hot Melt Adhesive
  • Suitable for PVC and ABS plastics, wood, brick, steel, plasterboard and painted surfaces
  • Suitable for cable attachment (including CAT 5), trunking, junction boxes, PIRS and CCTV cameras
  • Use at high temp for maximum adhesion
  • Use at low temp for low sag and instant grab. Best for cable attachment
  • Works with any 11.5-12mm glue gun

Tecbond 238 is a specialist electrician’s adhesive for instant attachment of trunking, boxes, PIRs, smoke detectors and CCTV cameras to brick, plasterboard, wood, painted surfaces and steel beams.

Its properties can be modified to suit your application, just by applying the adhesive at a different temperature.

For high tack and strong bonds, apply the tecbond 238 at a high temperature. To decrease sag, but still guarantee instant grab for cable attachment, apply at a lower temperate. Both the b-tec 308 and 808 glue guns are temperature adjustable.

Tecbond 248 – High Strength Construction Adhesive

  • Suitable for wood, brick, tile, glass, and most plastics
  • Moderate working time, up to 48 seconds
  • High grab, instant set when compressed
  • Works with any 11.5-12mm glue gun

Tecbond 248 is a high performance construction adhesive that takes hot melt glue sticks to a new level in performance bonding. 

It provides instant grab, and sets to a strong bond when parts are compressed.

Tecbond 248 has a unique acyrlic chemistry for hard-wearing, durable bonds. For maximum adhesion, use tecbond 248 with the b-tec 308 and 808 at a high temperature setting.

Tecbond 280 – Long Working Time Construction Adhesive
  • Super strong hot melt glue stick
  • Suitable for wood, brick, tile, and most plastics
  • Long working time, up to 3 minutes
  • Adjustment of parts possible after bond is compressed
  • Works with any 11.5-12mm glue gun

Like 248, tecbond 280 is a high performance construction adhesive that takes hot melt glue sticks to a new level in performance bonding. 

Based on up-to the-minute raw material technology, tecbond 280 is a high-performance construction-quality adhesive that sticks almost anything.

With a long working time, the adhesive allows the bonded parts to be adjusted (even after compression) for up to 3 minutes.

The adhesive sets to give a tough, flexible bond with superior strength. For maximum adhesion, use tecbond 280 with the b-tec 308 and 808 at a high temperature setting.

Knottec – Wood Repair Adhesives

Knottec is a fast and effective wood filling system that has been specially formulated for the repair of wood defects, including knots, scratches, splits, and other forms of deep wood damage.
