Frequently Asked Questions

TEC7

What is TEC7?

TEC7 is a MS Polymer adhesive/sealant, that is used in various construction and DIY projects. It is known for its quality, strength, versatility, and durability.

What surfaces can TEC7 be used on?

TEC7 can be used on almost all building materials such as wood, metal, concrete, glass, PVC, and many others. It bonds well to both porous and non-porous surfaces.

Is TEC7 suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, TEC7 has high UV resistance and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Can TEC7 be painted over?

Yes, TEC7 can be painted over with most common paints. Alkyd resin-based lacquers, applied to Tec7 can have a slower drying process.

How long does it take for TEC7 to cure?

The curing time of Tec7 nTec depends on factors such as temperature, humidity, ventilation and the thickness of the application. Under normal conditions, Tec7 nTec forms a skin in approximately 8 minutes and becomes adhesion-free after around 25 minutes.

 

Functional strength is typically achieved after:

 

  • 3 hours on porous materials
  • 6 hours on non-porous materials

 

Tec7 nTec cures progressively over time at approximately:

 

  • 6 mm after 24 hours
  • 7 mm after 48 hours
  • 8 mm after 72 hours

Full cure times may vary depending on the application depth and environmental conditions.

Can TEC7 be used underwater?

Yes, TEC7 has excellent adhesive properties even in underwater conditions. It can be used for underwater repairs or installations.

Is TEC7 resistant to chemicals?

TEC7 has good resistance to various chemicals, including but not limited to water, seawater, aliphatic solvents, oils, greases, diluted organic acids and lye’s. TEC7 has moderate resistance to esters, ketones, aromatics and a poor resistance to concentrated acids, chlorinated solvents or chlorine.

Can TEC7 be used on flexible joints?

Yes, TEC7 is flexible when cured, making it suitable for use on joints that require some movement or flexibility.

Is TEC7 safe to use?

TEC7 is a safe product to use when handled according to the instructions provided. It is free from harmful substances, solvents, and isocyanates.

Can TEC7 withstand extreme temperatures?

Yes. Tec7 is designed to perform in a wide range of temperatures, making it suitable for demanding indoor and outdoor applications. It can be applied in processing temperatures from -10°C to +40°C and, once cured, offers thermal stability from -40°C to +90°C. Tec7 can also withstand peak temperatures of up to 200°C for a maximum of 20 minutes.

X-TACK

What is X-TACK?

X-TACK is an instant grab MS Polymer adhesive. It’s suitable for various installation purposes, particularly in construction and building applications, offering excellent instant grab capacity to most building materials. In X-Tack’s uncured state it can support substantial weights due to its instant grab capabilities, without the need of supports, props or fixings.

What surfaces can X-TACK be used on?

X-TACK can be used on most building materials for both interior and exterior surfaces including but not limited to, metals, wood, stone, concrete, aluminium, plastics, glass, and ceramics.

Is X-TACK easy to apply?

Yes, X-Tack comes in a cartridge form with a “V Groove” nozzle, making it easy to apply, however it is an incredibly viscos product, so we recommend a heavy duty TEC7 cartridge gun, Tec7 Multigun or electric caulking gun to dispense the adhesive. Apply X-Tack holding the caulking gun perpendicular to the bonding surface, thus leaving behind a smooth and consistent triangle shaped bead.

Does X-TACK require any special surface preparation?

It is recommended to clean and degrease the surface before applying X-TACK for optimal adhesion. Remove any loose particles or substances that may hinder the bond. TEC7 has a range of surface preparation cleaners depending on your application. Feel free to contact Olmurtech for advice, on what to use for surface preparation of your application.

How long does it take for X-TACK to cure?

The curing time of X-TACK depends on several factors such as temperature, humidity, and the thickness of the applied adhesive layer. Typically, full cure will occur in 3-5 days.

Can X-TACK be painted over?

Yes, X-Tack can be painted over with most common paints. Alkyd resin-based lacquers, applied to X-Tack can have a slower drying process.

Is X-TACK suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, X-TACK offers excellent resistance against UV radiation, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Can X-TACK be used underwater?

Yes, X-TACK can be used for underwater applications.

Can X-TACK be removed once cured?

Once X-TACK has fully cured, it becomes difficult to remove. Removing cured X-Tack is possible using mechanical means. It is recommended to remove any excess or unwanted adhesive before it cures to avoid difficulties using Tec7 Cleaner.

Is X-TACK flexible after curing?

Yes. X-TACK remains permanently flexible after curing, allowing it to absorb movement, vibration and expansion without becoming brittle or cracking. This flexibility makes it ideal for applications where materials may expand, contract or move over time, while still maintaining a strong and durable bond.
