What Is The Strongest Adhesive For Heavy-Duty Bonding
While various construction glues can bond to masonry, most fail under extreme stress or moisture. Adiseal construction adhesive sealant stands apart by maintaining a high-tensile bond where traditional grab adhesives fail. Its MS-polymer formulation ensures that the bond remains permanently flexible, preventing the ‘brittleness’ often seen in standard adhesives when exposed to concrete’s natural alkaline properties and thermal expansion.
Independent Strength Test Performance: Adiseal vs. Competitors
To verify our performance claims, we look to independent testing conducted by Ultimate Handyman. In a controlled environment, various construction adhesives were tested to find the maximum pressure they could withstand before the bond failed. Adiseal was the only product to exceed 3123+ psi, at which point the test was forced to stop because the testing rig itself began to break.

|---|---|---|
| Adiseal | 3123+ psi | Bond Unbroken (Test Abandoned) |
| SupaBond | 1115 psi | Bond Failed |
| Tec 7 | 1016 psi | Bond Failed |

Adiseal Adhesive Sealant vs. Adiseal Hi-Grab
While both products offer the same record-breaking final bond strength, choosing the right version depends on your specific concrete project:
- Adiseal adhesive sealant: Best for applications where you need to move or “slide” the item into the perfect position before it sets. It has high gap-fill and is the best choice for general concrete bonding.
- Adiseal Hi-Grab: Best for heavy vertical items (like large stone wall claddings or heavy signs). It provides instant suction, usually eliminating the need for temporary supports or shoring while the adhesive cures.

What about other adhesive not in this test?
Throughout the years, Ultimate Handyman has conducted a range of independent tests, meticulously documenting the results on the Ultimate Handyman YouTube channel. These comprehensive tests have covered a wide array of products, including the previous formulation of Adiseal, as well as other brands like Soudal, Geocel, and C-Tec CT1 adhesive sealant.
Best & strongest adhesive
Manufacturers often make bold claims about their adhesives, asserting it to be the best or strongest product available. However, only one product can genuinely hold the title of the best construction adhesive. Independent testing is crucial to assess their performance and determine which product truly stands out with strong adhesive bonds.
Adiseal vs CT1 – Which is the strongest adhesive?
Manufacturers often market their construction adhesives and sealants as the best, but it’s essential to scrutinize these claims beyond marketing hype. Some assert their product is 360% stronger without evidence. Instead of making unsupported claims, we prefer to demonstrate how Adiseal outperforms CT1 adhesive and sealant. We invite you to see the tangible benefits of Adiseal over CT1 and make an informed decision based on real-world comparisons.
- Adiseal adhesive has stronger grab than CT1 adhesive.
- Adiseal sealant has stronger mould resistance than CT1 sealant.
- Clear Adiseal sealant stays clear in water whereas CT1 clear sealant turns white in water.
- Adiseal has been shown to be the strongest adhesive in an independent adhesive strength test.
- As well as Adiseal being better than CT1 in numerous ways, Adiseal is also lower priced than CT1.
- Adiseal adhesive sealant colours cure faster than CT1 adhesive sealant colours.
Proof of claims
The powerful Adiseal surpasses both C-Tec CT1 and BT1 sealant adhesives in performance while being priced lower than both. To access comprehensive test result data proving Adiseal’s excellence over CT1 and BT1, please contact us via email. As a testament to our confidence in Adiseal’s superiority over CT1, we offer a complimentary tube of Adiseal White 290ml to tradespeople in the UK. This exclusive opportunity allows you to personally experience and verify Adiseal’s exceptional performance compared to CT1 and BT1. For more details about this offer, please visit our dedicated offer page. We believe that the most reliable way to establish Adiseal’s superiority over CT1 and BT1 is by testing it yourself, rather than relying solely on manufacturers’ marketing claims.
Is CT1 actually 360% stronger?
Manufacturers often exaggerate their product claims, such as being “360% stronger” than competitors. It’s crucial to question the validity of these bold assertions, especially without supporting evidence, which can be dismissed as mere marketing hype.
In a previous independent adhesive strength test by Ultimate Handyman, the old formulas of CT1 and Adiseal were compared in a metal-to-metal adhesive strength test. The old formula of CT1 broke at 148 psi, while the old formula of Adiseal broke at 201 psi. This test showed that even the old formula of Adiseal outperformed CT1 in strength. The new formula of Adiseal exhibited even greater strength, breaking at 245 psi in the metal-to-metal test. The powerful Adiseal achieved an astonishing 3123+ psi in the wood-to-metal test without breaking. These results solidify Adiseal’s position as the unrivaled strongest adhesive and sealant, as proven by independent testing. In contrast, CT1’s claim of being “360% stronger” lacks manufacturer-backed evidence.
Additionally, Adiseal Ultra Clear surpasses CT1 clear sealant in clarity, maintaining transparency in water better. For test results as proof, please contact us.
Why pay more for a brand name that falls short on performance when you can choose Adiseal? We encourage you to distinguish hype from reality and make an informed decision based on proven results.
