Casttec

Innovative Hot-Melt Adhesive System for the Precast Concrete Industry

Casttec® is a hot-melt adhesive system that transforms mould preparation in precast concrete production. It fixes accessories and mould components quickly and securely before concrete pouring, offering a more practical, economical and safer alternative to welding, magnets and bolts.

Key Benefits

Instant and Secure Bonding

Casttec® fixes inserts and accessories immediately without additional fastening. It speeds up the process and keeps the workflow moving.

No Primer, Easy Cleaning

No primer or surface preparation is required. After pouring, adhesive residue is easy to remove so moulds can be prepared faster for the next use.

Broad Material Compatibility

It bonds strongly to many surfaces, including metal, plastic, wood and foam, reducing the need for multiple fixing methods.

Effective Even on Light Form Oil

Casttec® creates a strong bond even on lightly oiled mould surfaces, removing the need for extra surface cleaning before application.

Solvent-Free and Non-Flammable

The solvent-free, non-toxic formulation supports a cleaner and safer working environment while reducing environmental impact.

Continuous Production with Melt-on-Demand

The applicator melts adhesive only when needed, supporting uninterrupted production and eliminating waiting times.

Strong Bond Without Damaging the Mould

The bond withstands concrete pouring conditions while releasing without mould damage, keeping reusable moulds in service.

Casttec® vs. Traditional Methods

Casttec® replaces traditional fixing methods such as welding, magnets and bolts, making mould preparation faster, more economical and safer.

Extends Mould Life

Unlike welding or bolting, Casttec® does not damage moulds. Reusable moulds deliver long-term cost advantages.

Simplifies Stock Management

It removes time-consuming operations such as removing, cleaning and storing screws or magnets, saving labour and time.

Reduces Cost

It replaces expensive magnet systems and accessories, simplifying purchasing while lowering material costs.
