Soudal Grip All Hybrid Polymer Adhesive Sealant – High‑Grab, Flexible Construction Adhesive & Sealant

Soudal Grip All Hybrid Polymer Adhesive Sealant is a professional,
high‑grab hybrid polymer adhesive and sealant designed for powerful bonding and
flexible sealing on almost all common building materials. Ideal as a
solvent‑free grab adhesive and perimeter sealant for interior and exterior
construction, refurbishment and maintenance projects.

Soudal Grip All Hybrid Polymer Adhesive Sealant is a
next‑generation construction adhesive based on hybrid polymer technology,
combining the high bond strength of an adhesive with the flexibility and
durability of a sealant. It offers excellent adhesion to a very wide variety of
porous and non‑porous building substrates, often without the need for primers.

Use Soudal Grip All as a grab adhesive for fixing boards, battens, skirtings,
panels and trim, and as a sealant for perimeter joints and movement joints
around frames, partitions and building elements. The hybrid polymer formula is
solvent‑free, low odour, non‑corrosive and virtually shrink‑free, making it suitable
for use in both new build and occupied refurbishment projects.

Typical Use Cases

• High‑grab fixing of skirting boards, architraves and battens to masonry, plaster, timber and previously painted surfaces.
• Bonding decorative panels, wall cladding and insulation boards to internal walls and ceilings (where permitted by system designer).
• Fixing window boards, sills, thresholds and trims without visible mechanical fixings.
• Perimeter sealing around door and window frames in masonry, concrete or timber walls.
• General construction bonding of metal profiles, brackets, cable trays, ductwork and services to building substrates (non‑structural).

Installation & Application Tips

• Substrate preparation:
  • Surfaces must be clean, sound and free from dust, loose particles, grease, oil and old failing coatings.
  • Remove loose plaster, laitance or friable materials and repair major defects before bonding.
  • Lightly abrade very smooth or glossy surfaces for improved mechanical key and degrease with an appropriate cleaner.
• Priming:
  • Soudal Grip All generally adheres without primer to most common substrates.
  • On very porous or critical surfaces (e.g. friable plaster, dusty blockwork), use a suitable stabilising primer as recommended by Soudal.
• Application as an adhesive:
  • Cut the cartridge tip and nozzle to the required bead size and load into a quality sealant/adhesive gun.
  • Apply continuous beads or dots to one surface – typically wavy or straight beads at 10–20 cm centres depending on the item weight and substrate.
  • Bring the surfaces together within the open time and press firmly, tapping or pressing into final position.
  • Where needed, provide temporary support or mechanical fixings until sufficient strength has developed.
• Application as a sealant:
  • Ensure joint sides are sound and clean; use backing rod or bond‑breaker tape where appropriate to achieve correct joint geometry.
  • Gun the sealant firmly into the joint, avoiding air entrapment.
  • Tool the surface with a wetted spatula or profiling tool within the skin‑time to achieve a smooth, well‑compacted finish.
• Curing & finishing:
  • Grip All cures by reaction with moisture, forming a durable, elastic bond line. Cure time depends on bead thickness, temperature and humidity.
  • After full cure, it can typically be over‑painted with most water‑based paints (always test for compatibility and possible gloss/colour change).
• Clean‑up:
  • Remove uncured material from tools and surfaces with a suitable Soudal cleaner or white spirit immediately after use.
  • Cured adhesive/sealant can only be removed mechanically (cutting, scraping, sanding).

Technical & Performance Overview

Soudal Grip All Hybrid Polymer Adhesive Sealant is formulated as a
professional construction adhesive and sealant for non‑structural applications.
It is typically tested to relevant EN 15651 sealant standards (for façade, glazing
or sanitary use where applicable) and internal Soudal performance criteria. Always
refer to the latest technical datasheet and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed
values and approvals.

• Chemistry: Hybrid polymer (MS/SMX‑type) adhesive sealant, moisture‑curing.
• Consistency: Thixotropic paste – non‑slump on vertical surfaces.
• Skin formation: Typically within minutes, depending on temperature and humidity.
• Cure rate: Cures from the surface inward; full cure time depends on bead thickness (e.g. approx. 2–3 mm per 24 hours in standard conditions – check datasheet).
• Modulus & movement: Elastic sealant with good movement accommodation (see EN 15651 classification for exact movement capability).
• Temperature resistance: Service temperature typically around ‑40 °C to +90 °C once cured (verify with current datasheet).
• Paintability: Generally paintable with most water‑based coatings after skin formation; test compatibility before full application.
• Substrate compatibility: Brick, block, concrete, stone, plaster, timber, most metals, UPVC, painted surfaces and some plastics. Always test on sensitive plastics and powder‑coated finishes.
• Solvent content: Solvent‑free and isocyanate‑free hybrid technology; low odour, low shrinkage.
• Indoor / outdoor use: Suitable for interior and exterior applications; protect from continuous immersion unless specified.
• Storage: Store in original unopened packaging in a cool, dry place; protect from frost and high heat.
• Safety: Use in well‑ventilated areas; avoid skin and eye contact; follow all warnings and PPE advice in the SDS.

Soudal Grip All Hybrid Polymer Adhesive Sealant Features & Customer Benefits

• High initial grab for fast fixing
  Strong tack reduces reliance on screws and nails, especially for skirtings, trims,
  panelling and boards, speeding up installation and improving the finished appearance.
• Adhesive and sealant in a single product
  Simplifies stock and site work – one cartridge handles bonding and sealing, reducing
  the need to carry multiple different tubes.
• Solvent‑free, low odour formulation
  Safer and more pleasant to use in occupied homes, offices and healthcare settings
  than many traditional solvent‑based grab adhesives.
• Excellent adhesion on damp & cold substrates
  Hybrid technology can often bond to slightly damp, cold surfaces better than many
  conventional adhesives (not standing water – follow datasheet guidance).
• Flexible, durable joint
  Cured product remains elastic, absorbing movement due to thermal change and
  vibration, reducing the risk of cracks and bond failure.

Frequently Asked Questions – Soudal Grip All Hybrid Polymer Adhesive Sealant

1. What is the difference between Soudal Grip All Hybrid Polymer and a standard solvent‑based grab adhesive?

Traditional grab adhesives are often solvent‑based, which can have strong odours,
higher VOCs and may attack some plastics or finishes. Soudal Grip All Hybrid
Polymer is a solvent‑free hybrid adhesive sealant that:

• Has low odour and is more suitable for indoor, occupied areas.
• Offers better flexibility and movement accommodation once cured.
• Can often be painted and used as both an adhesive and a sealant.

It delivers modern performance with strong initial grab and durable bonding
on a wide range of substrates.

2. Can I use Soudal Grip All Hybrid Polymer Adhesive Sealant outside?

Yes. Soudal Grip All is suitable for exterior as well as interior use. Once
cured, it is weather‑resistant and adheres well to masonry, timber, metals and
many plastics. For best results outdoors:

• Apply to clean, sound substrates and avoid standing water during application.
• Where aesthetics are important, finish neatly and consider painting with a compatible exterior paint system after full cure.
• Avoid continuous immersion (e.g. permanently underwater) unless confirmed suitable by Soudal for the specific application.

3. Is Soudal Grip All suitable for structural applications or heavy load‑bearing fixings?

Soudal Grip All is a high‑strength construction adhesive but is generally
intended for non‑structural bonding and sealing. For load‑bearing or structural
applications:

• Follow the project engineer’s specification and relevant Building Regulations.
• Use mechanical fixings (screws, anchors, bolts) where structural performance is required.
• Consider the adhesive as an additional aid to stiffness and load distribution rather than the primary load‑bearing element, unless supported by specific testing and approvals.

4. Can Soudal Grip All be applied to damp or wet surfaces?

Grip All Hybrid Polymer can generally tolerate slightly damp substrates better
than many solvent‑based products, but:

• Surfaces should not be water‑logged or covered with standing water.
• Very wet surfaces can reduce adhesion and increase cure time.
• For best results, apply to dry or just slightly damp substrates and always follow the recommendations given in the Soudal datasheet.

5. Can I paint over Soudal Grip All, and if so, with what type of paint?

In most cases, Soudal Grip All Hybrid Polymer Adhesive Sealant can be
over‑painted with water‑based (acrylic) paints after full cure. However:

• Always allow the product to fully cure before painting to avoid cracking and poor adhesion of the paint.
• Carry out a small test area first to check for any issues such as slower drying, colour shift or gloss changes.
• Solvent‑based or alkyd paints may remain tacky or affect the joint; test compatibility or consult Soudal before large‑scale use.

6. Common Uses & How to Use Soudal Grip All Hybrid Polymer Adhesive Sealant

Common Uses:

• Fixing skirting boards, architraves, trims and window boards without visible fixings.
• Bonding uPVC profiles, metal angles, cable trays and conduits to walls and ceilings.
• Sealing and bonding around window and door frames.
• Installing decorative wall panels, cladding and insulation boards.
