Instructions

  • Processing temperature from -10°C to +40°C.
  • Apply to clean, dust and grease-free substrate.
  • Use Tec7 Prepare & Finish to clean and degrease safely, obtain the perfect finish, and to remove uncured Tec7 polymers. In case of heavy soiling, clean with Tec7 Cleaner and/or Multiclean.
  • Apply using a manual TEC7 Gun or MultiGun. X-Tack is a highly viscous adhesive and can be very difficult to squeeze out with standard caulking guns. For larger applications, we recommend using an electric caulking gun for easier and more consistent application.
  • Due to the wide variety of different plastic materials and compositions, as well as materials that are prone to stress cracking, preliminary trials are recommended.
  • Test the adhesion to plastics, powder coatings, exotic woods and bituminous materials.
  • Start by strengthening weak and/or porous substrates with Poxy Primer.
  • Due to the diversity of varnishes and paints on the market we recommend preliminary tests. Using products based on alkyd resins may delay the drying process.
  • When glueing mirrors in sanitary facilities only apply vertical strips of adhesive to avoid stagnant moisture due to condensation.
  • Minimal thickness of the adhesive: 2 mm. Ideal adhesive thickness for optimal adhesion strength: 3 mm.
  • The spout features a V groove to allow you to dose out the right thickness of adhesive. Do not cut it off.
  • When applying, place the nozzle perpendicular to the surface. 
  • For the strongest adhesion and optimal curing performance, apply the adhesive in continuous beads rather than individual dots.

DECLARATION – MARINE TESTED – TEC7

TEC7 has been rigorously evaluated for performance in marine environments through internationally recognised test methods, including ISO 9227 (salt spray resistance), ISO 2812-2 (seawater exposure), and ASTM C961-15 (bonding strength in wet conditions). Based on these results, Novatech International confirms that TEC7 performs reliably in marine applications. When allowed intermittent drying, TEC7 provides effective protection to underlying materials and maintains strong adhesion. For applications involving prolonged or permanent immersion, users should apply a suitable safety margin to compensate for the natural reduction in bond strength over time.

EC 1935/2004

EU Regulation 1935/2004 covers all food contact materials and articles which are intended to come into contact with food. The regulation ensures that food contact materials do not threaten human health, or change the composition, odor, or taste of the food product.

EC1+

EC1 Plus EMICODE is an eco-label and classification system that certifies flooring installation products, adhesives, and building materials based on their emissions. It follows standards like DIN EN ISO 16000-1, CEN/TS 16516, and ISO/TC 146 on air quality. Products bearing the EMICODE label are certified as having very low emissions, adhering to the strictest limits, and are continuously monitored by independent inspection bodies. This ensures clean indoor air and promotes a healthy environment.

Greentag PHD Platinum

The Product Health Declaration (PHD) certificate is similar to HPD (Health Product Declaration) and a comprehensive tool designed to provide transparent, detailed information about the health impacts of products, particularly in the green building industry. This certification is crucial for ensuring that products meet specific health and environmental standards, offering a benchmark for safety and sustainability. Currently, a Global GreenTag PHD has formal WELLTM Building Standard Equivalencies recognised globally for core product- related Features and the tool is also compliant with the LEED® program, used in 168 countries that has significantly upgraded its criteria for materials transparency and optimisation.

Eurofins Gold

The Indoor Air Comfort and Indoor Air Comfort GOLD certifications provide strong assurance that a product meets stringent low-emission standards. These certifications highlight a brand's commitment to quality and its role in promoting a healthy indoor environment. The "Indoor Air Comfort GOLD - certified product" represents the highest level of certification, indicating that the product not only meets mandatory low-emission requirements but also aligns with the voluntary standards set by leading ecolabels and sustainable building certifications in the EU. As a result, these certified products are considered top-tier in terms of low emissions, contributing to excellent indoor air quality.

Indoor air emissions A+

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a group of substances from various chemical classes that readily evaporate at room temperature. Examples include benzene, styrene, toluene, trichloroethylene, as well as highly volatile substances like formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. In countries such as France, construction, decoration, and furnishing products are classified under the “VOC Emissions dans l'air intérieur” label, based on VOC emissions tests. This label rates products on their emissions of volatile substances, which may pose a toxic risk when inhaled indoors. The scale ranges from A+ (very low emissions) to C (high emissions).

ISEGA

ISEGA certification refers to products that meet the standards set by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung), which focuses on ensuring consumer safety and product quality. This certification is particularly relevant for products that come into contact with food, assessing potential risks to human health. Based on these evaluations, the product’s quality is determined. Similar to other environmental labels and certifications, ISEGA aims to provide clear and reliable information to consumers regarding product safety.

Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)

Novatech International NV, as a member of FEICA (the Association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry), is authorised to use the FEICA model Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for polyurethane or silane-modified products in Group 1. These model EPDs are independently verified by the Institut Bauen und Umwelt (IBU) and published on the ECO Platform. TEC7, Trans Clear and X-Tack have been reviewed against this model EPD and confirmed to be fully compatible. This means the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data and environmental information contained in the FEICA model EPD are applicable to TEC7 and may be used in building and sustainability assessments.

IM1

M1 is a classification system for building materials focused on emissions. Materials that are M1- certified release very low levels of compounds into indoor environments. The purpose of the M1 classification is to encourage the production and use of building materials and furniture with minimal emissions. This system sets specific limits for the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde, and ammonia. Additionally, M1 evaluates the acceptability of the material’s odor.
