Why use instant grab adhesives?
Most adhesives take time to cure and reach full adhesion strength. During this curing period, the items you are trying to bond can move away from the surface you are trying to bond it to. To stop this, you might be required to use temporary supports to hold the item in place until the adhesive cures and reaches full bond strength.
The temporary supports have to be removed once the adhesive has cured which can increase the amount of time required to do the job. Using an adhesive with quick extra high instant hold may eliminate the need for temporary supports, saving time and money on labour costs.
Adiseal Hi-Grab instant grab adhesive
Adiseal Hi-Grab heavy duty instant hold adhesive is based on the same technology as the record breaking strongest adhesive, Adiseal adhesive sealant but now with even stronger instant grab and hold. In an independent adhesive strength test, Adiseal was shown to be over 3 times stronger than the next best adhesive. The bond strength of Adiseal in the test was too strong for even the test rig. The chart below shows the test results between wood and metal adhesive bond strength.

Instant grab adhesive hold performance demonstration
In the video below, witness the phenomenal instant power grab and bond strength of Adiseal Hi-Grab instant hold adhesive. We conducted a test using 32 Kg concrete blocks. To push it to the extreme, we applied the adhesive on the edge of the concrete with a smaller surface area instead of the side with the largest surface area. As shown in the video below, the two concrete slabs immediately gripped each other thanks to the incredible instant power grab and bond strength of Adiseal Hi-Grab.

How to use instant grab adhesive
How to use instant grab adhesive.
- Prepare the surfaces
Ensure that the surfaces you are bonding are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or any other contaminants. Proper surface preparation is crucial for a strong bond.
- Cut the tip
Cut the nozzle of the cartridge to the correct size required.
- Apply the adhesive
Apply the adhesive evenly on one surface, ensuring a robust bond without excess that might seep out when joined. Due to their thickness, instant grab adhesives usually require a high-quality caulking gun (sealant gun) for efficient cartridge dispensing.
- Join the surfaces
Press the two surfaces firmly together, aligning them properly. Make sure the adhesive spreads evenly between the surfaces. Apply pressure for a few seconds to ensure a good initial bond.
- Secure or support if needed
In some cases, you may need to use temporary supports or clamps to hold the bonded surfaces in place while the adhesive cures.
- Curing time
These adhesives provide a high initial grip, but they may still require some time to fully cure and reach their maximum strength. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the recommended curing time.
- Clean up
Immediately remove any excess adhesive that may have squeezed out during the bonding process. You can use a suitable solvent or cleaner recommended by the adhesive manufacturer.
Tip: To store Adiseal once opened, leave about 1cm worth of product out of the nozzle and store the tube upright in a cool dry place. Adiseal requires moisture for it to cure. The exposed part out of the nozzle will cure creating a cap. To re-use Adiseal, pull the cured part out or cut the nozzle until the uncured part is reached.
