Construction Adhesives
Sabre provides an extensive range of high quality construction adhesives in Australia, consisting of high grab adhesives and wood adhesives for durable bonding in a wide variety of applications.
What Are Construction Adhesives?
Construction adhesives are a type of adhesive specifically designed for use in construction and building projects. They are typically used to bond materials such as wood, concrete, plasterboard, metal, ceramics, and plastics, and are formulated to provide strong, durable bonds that can withstand the stresses and strains in buildings and structures. Some common types of construction adhesives include solvent-based, water-based, polyurethane, epoxy, and acrylic adhesives.
Types of Construction Adhesives
There are several different types of construction adhesives, each with its own unique properties and uses. Some common types include:
- Polyurethane adhesives: These adhesives are known for their strong, flexible bond and are often used in applications requiring a structural, waterproof, permanent bond. They are commonly used to bond wood, metal, ceramics, and plastics.
- Water-based adhesives: These adhesives are commonly used for fixing plasterboard, plywood, and other construction to framing.
- Solvent-based adhesives: These are fast-curing adhesives, that have a strong initial bond . They are used in applications where a fast-drying adhesive is needed straight after application.
- MS Polymer/Hybrid adhesives: MS polymer adhesives have strong adhesive properties and are able to bond with a wide variety of materials, including wood, metal, concrete, and plastics. They have high UV resistance, making them suitable for outdoor use. Additionally, MS polymer adhesives have high flexibility and can accommodate slight movement in the materials being bonded.
Sabre provides the best construction adhesives available in Australia, offering top-quality solutions for various construction needs.
Applications of Construction Adhesives
Applications for construction adhesives are numerous, some of which include:
- Wood materials: In woodworking, furniture manufacturing, and other construction applications, construction adhesives are frequently used to join wood to wood, wood to metal, and wood to concrete.
- Flooring: Flooring materials like hardwood, laminates, engineered wood, and other flooring systems are bonded together using construction adhesives.
- Concrete: Masonry components like bricks, blocks, and stone are attached together using construction adhesives.
- Insulation: Foam and fiberglass insulation materials are attached to walls, floors, and ceilings using construction adhesives.
- Plaster and drywall: These are joined together using construction adhesives, as are AAC cladding systems.
- Wall and Ceiling: Construction adhesives are used to attach drywall and insulation to metal or wood framing in walls and ceilings.
- Tiling: Ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and mosaic tiles are attached to a variety of surfaces, such as wood, metal, concrete, and drywall, using construction adhesives.
These are only a few of the typical uses for construction adhesives, but there are a lot more niche uses as well.
