Casttec® adhesives, along with the Tec range of heavy-duty industrial applicators from Power Adhesives, provide a straightforward and economical solution for bonding both structural and architectural components to precast concrete forms.
INSTANT BOND
Casttec® adhesives create an almost immediate bond when materials are joined, eliminating the need for holding or clamping.
NON-DESTRUCTIVE
Casttec® adhesives create an almost immediate bond when materials are joined, eliminating the need for holding or clamping.
EASY CLEAN-UP
After 8 to 24 hours, the adhesive crystallises, making it easy to remove without requiring specialised cleaning products.
COST EFFECTIVE
Casttec® adhesives are significantly more affordable compared to magnets, tapes, or specialised inserts for screws and bolts.
Other Positioning Fixing Systems:
Casttec® Bonds all kinds of substrates - no need for multiple systems
HOT MELT ADHESIVE FOR PRECAST CONCRETE
Positioning Fixing System designed for securing customised precast moulds. Safer and more Efficient alternative to traditional methods such as magnets, nails, wires, and welding, which often come with health and safety risks.
MELT ON DEMAND:
Functions like traditional glue stick tools, providing a seamless crafting experience.
With high-power heaters, it offers a rapid start-up, allowing you to dive into your projects without delay.
Additionally, the design eliminates the need for a reservoir to refill, enabling practically continuous use.
SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION:
No evaporation or waste of glue; what is left in the gun is re-used next time the tool is switched on.
No thermal degradation of glue, because they only melt what is required, when it is required
HIGH-STRENGHT:
High-strength adhesive for inserts, effective even on oily steel; ensures inserts remain secure during pouring and vibration.
Casttec® hot melt adhesive is effective on a variety of materials, including steel, extruded and expanded polystyrene foam, wood, PVC, LDPE, and many other types of plastics.

Casttec 42 is a general-purpose precast adhesive designed to replace the need for welding or bolting elements to precast forms, providing a less destructive, cost-saving alternative for precast concrete manufacturers.
Casttec Cool 45
Designed for use in colder environments by offering a longer recrystallisation period.
COLOUR: Dark Amber
OPEN TIME: Up to 3 min
Suitable for wood, plastic, metal, and foam.
Can be applied over a light oil, removing the need to clean surfaces before application.
After 24 hours, the adhesive is brittle enough to allow the easy removal of the bonded elements, even at temperatures as low as 10°C.
Casttec 45 is an extended open-time precast adhesive designed for environments where the ambient working temperature is low.
Casttec 47
Designed for warmer environments, it can be applied, set, and removed at temperatures near 40°C.
COLOUR: Pale Amber
OPEN TIME: Up to 2 min
Suitable for wood, plastic, metal, and foam.
Can be applied over a light oil, removing the need to clean surfaces before application.
After 24 hours, the adhesive is brittle enough to allow the easy removal of the bonded elements, even at temperatures as high as 40°C.
Casttec 47 is an extended open-time precast adhesive designed for environments where the ambient working temperature is high. This means it can be applied, allowed to set, and then cleanly removed at temperatures close to 40°C.
