C-Tec specialises and pioneers the development of new technically advanced sealants and adhesives, primarily for the construction industry. Sealants and Adhesives have always been used in this sector  but the need has  increased  over  the  years  due  to  change  in  design  and  materials  used. 
Construction  adhesives  are  normally  silicone  or acrylic  based  for  sealing  joints  in  panels, window installation and gap  filling  in  roof  struts. The acrylic  sealant is  popular  as  it  can  be  painted, a  big  advantage  when  sealing  around  windows  or  doors.
The most popular type of adhesives used  in  the  construction/ building  industry    is  the  one component  mastics  ohms  or  panel  adhesives . These  adhesive  types  are  used  for  bonding  skirting  boards,  decorative  rails,  veneer  panels  and some  polystyrene  architrave. They are  extremely  dated  In  their  technology  and  have  many  disadvantages, for example  these  silicone  sealants  contain  solvents  which  are  not  environmentally  friendly  and  have  many  drawbacks,  like  shrinkage,  lack  of  bond  strength and are not  paintable,  to  mention  a  few. The adhesives  are  similar  in  their  disadvantages,  slow  to  cure, lack  of  strength  and  non  flexible  which  is  vital  in  certain adhesives. Both  the  adhesives  and  sealants  share  a  common  failing, in  that they  need  clean  and  perfectly  dry  surfaces  in  order  for  the  sealant/adhesive  to work.
As previously stated, C-Tec specialise in the development of new technology advancements in sealants and adhesives. A prime example of this is our unique sealant and construction adhesive CT1, commonly known as “The Snag List Eliminator”, which we created to replace 7/8 different products used by the construction trade with none of the negatives of silicone sealants. The CT1 sealant and adhesive is a unique hybrid polymer that is voc free, absolutely no solvents so therefore it will never shrink, thus solving the age old problem of leaking shower trays or baths.
Due to the unique formula of CT1 sealant it has the incredible ability to seal on a wet surface and still yield an extremely high bond, yet remain flexible. This unique sealant is the only sealant on the market with an E-TAG Approval for bonding and sealing shower and bath panels, it is the most environmentally friendly sealant and adhesive available as its 100% V.O.C. free.
In addition to CT1 we have our amazing “Power Grab n Bond”, the heavy duty construction adhesive that is unprecedented in its bonding capacity in vertical applications. “Power Grab n Bond” is based on our CT1 sealant formula but with a huge difference, it’s denser and has an incredible initial bond /grab strength that will give an immediate bond of 28 kg/cm². Imagine a concrete patio slab with dimensions of 300 mm x 300mm depth of 50 mm and weighing 12 kg, applying four beads of “Power Grab n Bond” adhesive onto it and being able to place it onto a wall with an immediate fix with absolutely no sliding, incredible but true.
This is only a snippet of the premium sealants and adhesives produced by C-Tec. There are many adhesives available should the need arise to bond metal, plastic to plastic bonding, and so on, here at C-Tec we have produced an adhesive that can perform on a multitude of applications. Silicone sealants, acrylic sealants, polyurethane sealants can all be replaced with one sealant – CT1 - THE UNIQUE SEALANT AND CONSTRUCTION ADHESIVE! © Copyright.
