Casttec 44

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.
