Flexible Adhesive | Extra Strong

A flexible adhesive is an adhesive that allows for movement in the joint of the items bonded. This is important if a non brittle adhesive bond is required. Adhesives that are not flexible and set hard can become brittle. Adiseal is a high performance flexible adhesive and sealant. It provides a high strength bond that remains flexible and is waterproof. Adiseal is suitable for use on wood, PVC, metal, concrete, stone, marble and many other items.

Why use a flexible adhesive

When trying to stick two items together, sometimes the materials move after they have been bonded. This could be for a number of different reasons including:

• Temperature changes
• Vibration
• Moisture changes
• Wind
• Knocks

A non flexible adhesive will set hard. This makes it more likely to be brittle. Due to the brittle nature of the bond, there is a higher chance of the bond failing. A brittle bond can crack, weaken and eventually fail. This is not a problem for a flexible adhesive as it will be able to absorb the movement in the joint without cracking.

Best flexible adhesive

Ultimate Handyman has carried out several adhesive strength tests. In the latest adhesive strength test, the new formula of Adiseal adhesive & sealant was tested along with a number of other adhesives from different manufacturers. In this test Adiseal proved to be the strongest adhesive by far, way stronger than anything else being tested. Nothing came even close to Adiseal. Watch the test in the video below.

Construction adhesive strength test

To find out which was the strongest construction adhesive, Ultimate Handyman did several tests. In 1 of the tests, he measured at what pressure the adhesive bond broke at between wood to metal. To do this Ultimate Handyman did the following:

1. Cleaned the metal sheet thoroughly.
2. Applied each construction adhesive to the hardwood.
3. Firmly pushed the wood down on the metal.
4. Waited until each adhesive had cured.
5. Used a hydraulic ram to break each construction adhesive bond.
6. Measure at what pressure each bond broke at.

The best adhesive was Adiseal

No other grab adhesive that was tested came anywhere near the best product, Adiseal. It was over 3 times stronger than the next best product. Adiseal was so strong that the test on it was forced to be abandoned as the screws holding the metal sheet down started to rip out. The hydraulic ram seal also broke causing hydraulic ram to leak fluid. Adiseal was too strong for even the test rig. 

“That is actually unbelievable!”

Adiseal flexible adhesive will provide a extra strong bond on the following items:

 

Adiseal flexibility demonstration

The video shows how flexible Adiseal adhesive & sealant is.

In the above video, Adiseal adhesive was used to bond the bricks. It stays strong and does not break even after the bricks are struck with a hammer a number of times. The adhesive absorbs the impact of the hammer instead of breaking.

Flexible PVC adhesive

Adiseal is a strong flexible PVC adhesive. It will provide a strong bond on PVC and many other plastics but it’s not suitable for polypropylene or polyethylene. To get the strongest bond, making sure both surfaces are thoroughly clean is very important. Adiseal is a strong flexible PVC adhesive for PVC cladding, PVC trunking, PVC pipes and many other items.

Flexible wood adhesive

Adiseal is also a strong flexible wood adhesive. It will provide a strong bond on all different types of wood. It is important to make sure both surfaces are thoroughly clean before applying the adhesive to get the strongest bond.
