Specialty Adhesives and Sealants
Specialty adhesives and sealants from Soudal cover jobs that fall outside general construction sealing, including concrete repair, contact bonding, epoxy repairs, thread locking, and wallpaper adhesion, with formats ranging from small cartridges to 20-litre bulk containers for trade application.
One category, a lot of specific problems solved.
Structural concrete repair compounds are formulated to bond to damp concrete and stop active leaks within minutes, while fast-cure repair mortars reach high strength within minutes and can cure underwater. MS Polymer adhesives handle solvent-free bonding on mirrors and general fixing jobs, suited to internal and external use, and contact adhesive sprays are supplied in bulk formats for laminate and panel work. See the full Sealants range or the Adhesives range if the job needs a general bonding product rather than a specialty one.
Choosing the right specialty adhesive/sealant
Concrete cracks and structural repair. A structural concrete repair compound for concrete-to-concrete repairs, or a fast-acting waterproof repair compound where an active leak needs to be stopped within minutes.
Fast repair mortar work. A fast-cure repair mortar, which reaches high strength within minutes and can be applied and cured underwater.
Mirror and glass fixing. An MS Polymer mirror adhesive suited to silver and vinyl-backed mirror systems without solvent-related degradation risk.
High-volume panel and laminate bonding. Contact adhesive sprays supplied in large format pressurised bottles and 20-litre containers for workshop and trade-scale application.
Small, fast structural bonds. A fast-setting adhesive for mitre joints and small components needing a strong bond within seconds, or a quick-cure epoxy for a clear two-part repair.
Technical differentiators
- Cure speed: From seconds (fast-setting adhesive) to minutes (repair mortar, epoxy) to standard cure times for concrete repair compounds
- Substrate condition tolerance: Some concrete repair products bond to damp or even underwater substrates
- Format: Cartridge, tube, tub, and bulk-pressurised bottles 20-litre contact adhesive formats depending on job scale
- Chemistry: MS Polymer, epoxy, cementitious repair mortar, and solvent-based contact adhesive, each suited to different substrates
Speciality adhesive and sealant application guidance
Match the product to the substrate condition first, since several products in this range are specifically formulated for damp or underwater application where standard adhesives would fail. Fast-curing adhesives and epoxies need components measured and mixed accurately, and applied within their working time. Some contact adhesive sprays require both surfaces to be coated and allowed to reach the correct tack before bonding, following the open time on the datasheet. Concrete repair compounds should have loose material removed and the area dampened where specified, to maximise bond strength.

Specialty adhesives FAQs
What adhesive works on damp concrete?
Waterproof concrete repair compounds are formulated to bond to damp or actively leaking concrete surfaces, with waterproof variants stopping leaks within 3-5 minutes.
Can concrete repair adhesive cure underwater?
Yes, fast-cure repair mortar is formulated to cure underwater and reaches high strength within a 7-minute cure time.
What's the difference between contact adhesive and structural adhesive?
A contact adhesive, depending on the product may require either single-sided or two-sided application, before being pressed together. A structural adhesive is designed to support a load that if it didn’t hold, may cause harm to the users of the area due to its failure.
How fast does epoxy adhesive cure?
Waterproof concrete repair compounds are formulated to bond to damp or actively leaking concrete surfaces, with waterproof variants stopping leaks within 3-5 minutes.
