Summary for decision-makers
Summary for decision-makers
TEC7 is an international brand specializing in bonding, assembly, and sealing solutions for building construction, industrial maintenance, plumbing, and marine applications. Based on a polymer-based MS sealant that can replace several types of adhesives, the range offers versatile products with high adhesion, resistance to weathering, chemicals, and vibrations, suitable for a wide variety of materials and usable both indoors and outdoors.
The brand also offers cleaners, degreasers, and surface preparation products to provide a complete ecosystem for professionals. TEC7 products are designed to reduce the number of items to stock, minimize errors, and increase on-site productivity. The company's positioning remains focused on the specific needs of users and adapting to local constraints in various regions worldwide.
TEC7 has established itself as a leading brand in the world of professional adhesives and sealants. Known for its product capable of "sealing, bonding, and mounting anything," it meets the needs of construction sites, industry, and maintenance. Born from a groundbreaking innovation developed some twenty years ago, the brand now caters to tradespeople, businesses, and manufacturers seeking reliable, versatile, and easy-to-use solutions. Its positioning is based on a clear promise: reducing the number of products needed on-site while guaranteeing performance and durability.
A brand born from a product that has become iconic
Originally, TEC7 was the name of a MS polymer sealant/adhesive Developed and launched on the Belgian market by the family company Novatech. The initial objective is simple: to design a unique product capable of replacing several families of traditional glues and sealants, such as polyurethanes, silicones, acrylics or assembly glues.
This choice addresses a widely shared practical problem: the proliferation of product references complicates logistics and increases the risk of errors on construction sites. Success came quickly. The product became so recognizable that its name was adopted for the entire brand, which gradually developed a complete product range around this principle of functional versatility.
"The founding idea was to simplify the daily lives of professionals with a single, reliable product."
Today, TEC7 is present in many countries in Europe, Africa, and Asia. The brand nevertheless maintains a positioning very focused on real-world uses and construction site constraints.
The core range: bonding and sealing for all surfaces
The TEC7 offering is primarily structured around solutions for bonding, assembly and sealing intended for building construction, plumbing, industrial maintenance, and marine applications. The original TEC7 product, packaged in cartridges, remains the historical benchmark.
This polymer sealant/adhesive is characterized by a very high adhesion It adheres to most common materials: concrete, natural stone, wood, metals, glass, rigid PVC or polyester. It can be used both indoors and outdoors, on dry or damp surfaces.
Performance adapted to the constraints of the construction site
Several technical properties explain the product's sustained adoption by professionals:
-
high-performance adhesion, including on smooth or slightly damp surfaces;
-
resistance to UV, water, air, mold and many chemical agents;
-
durable elasticity after polymerization, adapted to vibrations and expansion of the supports;
-
formulation without isocyanates, solvents or phthalates, virtually odorless.
This composition makes the product compatible with mirrors and natural stone, without risk of marking or migration.
"A sealant-adhesive capable of adapting to the movements of the substrate without loss of adhesion."
An expanded range to cover all uses
Around this best-selling product, TEC7 has progressively developed complementary solutions to cover the majority of situations encountered on construction sites. These include:
-
transparent sealants, such as Trans, for applications requiring a discreet finish;
-
high-initial-tack mounting adhesives, such as X-Tackusable without mechanical support;
-
two-component adhesives, such as 2K-Fix, suitable for quick repairs and technical assemblies;
-
specific sealing products, including WP7, for areas exposed to humidity.
This range structure allows us to meet a variety of needs, from sanitary seals to assemblies subject to significant mechanical or environmental constraints.
Preparation, cleaning and finishing: a holistic approach
TEC7 does not limit its offering to just sealants and adhesives. The brand also offers products dedicated to the preparation of the supports, to cleaning and finishing, in order to guarantee the durability of the bonds and joints.
These solutions include cleaners and degreasers, as well as surface preparation products designed to be compatible with the adhesives in the range. Their formulation generally features a neutral pHThis limits the risk of damage to sensitive materials, such as metals, natural stones or decorative coatings.
The objective is clear: to provide professionals with coherent ecosystemfrom preparation to finishing, with products designed to work together.
"The performance of a bond depends as much on the preparation as on the product applied."
A decidedly professional DNA
TEC7 advocates an approach focused on concrete, on-the-ground applications. The research and development teams work closely with craftspeople, construction companies, plumbers, carpenters, metalworkers, and industrial players.
This collaboration enables the design of solutions that address specific challenges: saving time, reducing the number of items to stock, ensuring reliable assemblies, and guaranteeing safe application. For users, a versatile product minimizes selection errors and improves overall productivity on the job site.
Construction distributors and wholesalers also benefit from this approach: a clear, focused range recognized for its consistent quality, covering a wide range of applications.
An international brand, closely connected to construction sites
Having become an international player, TEC7 leverages Novatech's expertise to offer technical products for the professional market. The brand adapts its product range and communication to local requirements, particularly regarding standards and practices.
With a promise centered on the ability to "seal, glue and assemble everything", TEC7 positions itself as a partner of the daily for new construction, renovation, repair and maintenance, from building to industry.
For professionals, the brand embodies a pragmatic solution: a limited number of easy-to-use products capable of responding to a wide variety of situations, while guaranteeing performance and durability.
