Tec7 Trans Clear is a transparent universal adhesive sealant with very good adhesion to various materials such as tiles, cement-based materials, natural stone, wood, concrete, glass and aluminium. This adhesive is odourless and also adheres to wet substrates. In addition, Tec7 is fungus and bacteria resistant and easy to use.

The key technical properties clearly listed in one place.
Open time is the period during which an applied adhesive, sealant or mortar can still be assembled, positioned or adjusted. It is usually given in minutes under specified conditions, often around 20 or 23 °C. Open time generally starts at application and may differ from the working time after mixing.
Gap-filling capability describes how wide a gap or joint an adhesive or sealant can bridge, usually in millimetres (mm). The stated maximum is not necessarily the recommended adhesive layer thickness: a narrower joint may be needed to achieve good bond strength.
Adhesive type describes the family of adhesive or sealant, such as epoxy adhesive, (methyl)methacrylate adhesive, polyurethane adhesive or polymer sealant. Its chemistry affects processing, curing, flexibility and adhesion. Products of the same type may still differ, so check the suitable substrates and application instructions.
The chemical base describes the chemistry of an adhesive, sealant, resin or coating, such as epoxy, polyester, polyurethane, (methyl)methacrylate or a hybrid polymer. It affects curing, flexibility and adhesion. Products with the same chemical base are not necessarily suitable for the same applications.
The period for which an unopened product remains usable under the specified storage conditions. Check whether the period starts from the manufacturing date or another date. Shelf life may be shorter after opening, especially for products sensitive to air or moisture.
The time after application during which a skin forms on the surface of a sealant. Tool the joint before the skin develops, as adjusting it afterwards can affect the finish or adhesion. Temperature and humidity influence this time.
The time until the surface no longer feels tacky to a light touch. The material underneath may still be soft, so tack-free does not mean fully cured or ready for heavy loading.
Curing time is the period a product needs to reach a specified stage of cure. It is usually given in hours or days, often at a reference temperature such as 20 °C. A product may be tack-free or safe to handle before reaching its full mechanical and chemical resistance. Film thickness and mixed quantity may also affect the time.
Read the warnings and use appropriate protective equipment before handling the product.
