Construction Fixings

With a commitment to innovation and ongoing product development, Bond It is continuing to pioneer sealants, adhesives and building chemicals with its Incredibond adhesive and Gripbond Pro sealant – manufactured in its UK-based manufacturing facility.

Incredibond, a fibre reinforced adhesive, can be used to stick almost any material to any substrate, but is also instant grab and offers exceptional levels of bond strength, which, Bond It reports, is higher than most other hybrid polymer adhesive and sealant on the market. Thanks to its strength, Incredibond can be used as an effective and quick, easy to use alternative to mechanical fixings, such as screws and nails. It’s also suitable for both interior and exterior applications, as well as solvent-free. This latter feature means that as it cures it is low odour and does not emit any potentially harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

Another product that rivals Incredibond for levels of innovation is Gripbond Pro. This unique sealant and adhesive employs cutting edge hybrid polymer technology, with an advanced formulation that helps to remove application barriers faced by conventional products. For example, it can be applied in the rain and even underwater, is resistant to petrol and chemicals, and can perform across temperatures ranging from -40°C to 100°C. Gripbond Pro also remains permanently flexible, making it the perfect choice for joints and surfaces where movement may occur.

Gripbond Pro’s many other benefits include versatility – it is suitable for interior and exterior use and can be used with most substrates. This includes stone, concrete, mirrors with an acetone resistant backing, natural stone, marble, gypsum board, polycarbonates, polystyrene, PVC, many plastics, ceramics, copper, lead, zinc, aluminium, stainless steel, wood and glass. In addition, Gripbond Pro is high strength, non-staining, can be painted over with water-based paints and, like Incredibond, is solvent-free.

Bond It also continues to use innovation to meet changes in market trends, such as offering a growing number of more sustainable solutions. These solutions include Bond It Breeze Block Foam, which can help to enhance a building’s thermal efficiency. This specialist and independently tested, airtight, multi-purpose, gun grade polyurethane foam is ideally suited for use as a gap filler on construction joints – where movement is likely, for example around windows and doors. 

Phil Charles, commercial director at Bond It, states: “Bond It is no stranger to innovation. Not content to simply be one of the UK’s largest independent manufacturers of sealants, adhesives and building chemicals, we’re also committed to being one of its most innovative. As a business, we will continue to challenge convention and to explore new ideas and approaches to keep our operations, our stockists, and those who use our products, at the very forefront of what’s possible with sealants, adhesives and building chemicals.”
