About Specialty Adhesives
Specialty adhesives are formulated to bond specific materials and substrates that require higher performance than general-purpose construction adhesives. These products are commonly used for installing foamboard panels, stone, mirrors, tile, and other surface materials where strong initial grab, controlled cure, and reliable long-term adhesion are important.
This collection includes specialty adhesives designed to support precise placement, vertical applications, and demanding jobsite conditions in residential and commercial environments.
Types of Specialty Adhesives
- Foamboard Adhesives: Used for bonding foam backer boards and waterproof panels.
- Stone Adhesives: Formulated for bonding natural and engineered stone.
- Mirror Adhesives: Designed to securely bond mirrors without damaging backing.
- Tile & Trim Adhesives: Used for detailed tile and finishing applications.
- Hybrid & Polymer Adhesives: Multi-purpose options with high bond strength.
How to Choose
- Material Being Bonded: Identify foamboard, stone, mirror, tile, or mixed substrates.
- Application Orientation: Confirm suitability for vertical or horizontal use.
- Interior or Exterior Use: Verify environmental rating.
- Cure Time & Grab: Select based on working time and initial tack needs.
Common Applications
Specialty adhesives are used for installing foamboard panels, setting stone pieces, mounting mirrors, bonding trim, and securing tile in areas where traditional thinset or mortar is not appropriate.
Bond Strength & Installation Reliability
Using the correct specialty adhesive helps prevent bond failure, shifting, and long-term performance issues. These products are designed to support clean installations and dependable adhesion across a wide range of materials.
