Vactac

The solvent-free technology for vacuum infused composites

sustainable & safe

The vactac® adhesive system is the direct replacement for solvent-based adhesives, offering users a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative.

Zero VOCs

Hot melts are free from organic solvents and hazardous substances, making them safe to handle and use

100% solids

Vactac allows you to use 100% of what you buy with no waste product

No airborne particles

Keep workers safe and workshops clean as there are no atomized particles

High instant tack

Forms an almost instant bond when compressed with no long drying or setting periods

Sustainable, cost-effective and safe-to-use positioning adhesive

As well as being a more environmentally friendly alternative to solvent-based adhesives, the application system ensures there’s no hazardous waste product, removing specialised disposal costs. Additionally, vactac® adhesives provide a higher instant tack than most other positioning adhesives, with ample open times allowing accurate fibre positioning without the risk of the adhesive drying before the bond is made.
