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

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.

Off-white adhesive, nearly invisible once applied. Its very aggressive tack ensures an almost instant bond upon compression

TDS SDS

Vactac 200

Open time : Up to 5 mins

Dark-amber adhesive for easy visibility when applying. Its very aggressive tack ensures an almost instant bond upon compression. Higher output than vactac 100

TDS SDS

Vactac 330

Open time : Up to 7 mins

Dark red adhesive for use with the coat-weight camera. Easily visible during application with longer open time for larger applications
