VOC-Free, No Organic Solvents
It avoids the organic solvents and hazardous substances found in traditional spray adhesives. Hot-melt cartridges applied with compressed air are safe, clean and easy to store.
Power Adhesives Advanced Solutions
Vactac
Solvent-Free Adhesive System for Vacuum Infusion Composites
Vactac® is an environmentally responsible, high-performance hot-melt adhesive system developed as a direct alternative to solvent-based spray adhesives. Designed for composite manufacturing with vacuum or resin infusion, it replaces traditional aerosol cans with a safer and more economical solution.
Key Benefits
Source: poweradhesives.com/vactac
100% Solids Content
Many spray cans contain only 15-20% adhesive and the rest is volatile solvent. Vactac® is 100% solids, so everything applied is adhesive.
No Airborne Particles
Unlike atomised spray systems, Vactac® does not generate airborne particles, reducing the need for respirators or air filtration.
Technical Advantages
The Vactac system combines high performance with environmental and occupational safety advantages.
High Instant Tack
Speeds production without clamps or long waiting times while providing excellent bond strength and durability.
Does Not Block Resin Flow
Supports uninterrupted resin flow during lamination, helping improve production quality and efficiency.
Maintains Structural Integrity
At a coating weight of 10 g/m², ILSS reduction remains below 8%, so strength loss is negligible compared with reference laminates.
Repositionable
Glass fibre layers can be repositioned easily without sacrificing tack, supporting precise alignment.
Cost-Effective Solution
Vactac® combines cost savings, environmental benefits and high performance for long-term adhesive efficiency.
Application Areas
For more than 20 years, Vactac® has been used successfully as a positioning adhesive before lay-up in different composite manufacturing fields.
Wind Energy - Turbine Blades
Used for more than 20 years as a positioning adhesive before lamination in wind turbine blade production.
Marine - Boat Hull Production
Suitable for applications from inflatable boats to superyachts, including specific resin pipe tacking formulations.
Transport and Aerospace
Used in commercial vehicle bodies, interior storage units and aircraft exterior panel production.
