FAQs
Can this adhesive be used outdoors?
No, this Soudal Polystyrene Adhesive is specifically designed for interior use only and is not suitable for exterior applications.
What surfaces can I bond polystyrene to with this adhesive?
It is suitable for bonding polystyrene to porous substrates such as plasterboard, wood, concrete, brick, and other similar building materials.
Is the adhesive safe to use in enclosed spaces?
Yes, the adhesive is solvent-free and non-flammable, making it safe for use in indoor environments with good ventilation.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time can vary depending on temperature, humidity, and the amount of adhesive used. Allow sufficient time for the adhesive to set before applying pressure or moving bonded items. Typically, it will form a skin within minutes and achieve handling strength within a few hours.
Can I paint over the adhesive once it has dried?
The adhesive itself is white and dries to a solid form. While not typically painted, once fully cured, most standard interior paints can be applied over the bonded polystyrene, provided the surface is prepared correctly.
Does this adhesive contain solvents?
No, this product is specifically formulated to be solvent-free, which reduces VOC emissions and makes it safer for indoor use.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive not bonding well
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and porous. Reapply adhesive, ensuring even coverage on at least one surface. Check if the substrate is too non-porous for this adhesive.
Polystyrene deforming or melting
This adhesive is solvent-free and should not melt polystyrene. If melting occurs, the substrate may not be pure polystyrene or an incompatible substance is present. Ensure the product is applied thinly to the polystyrene side.
Adhesive is too thick to spread
Under normal conditions, the adhesive should be spreadable. Extreme cold can thicken it. Allow the product to reach room temperature before use. Ensure application tools are appropriate.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Strong and reliable bond on polystyrene
- Safe solvent-free and non-flammable formulation
- Easy to use straight from the container
- Suitable for various polystyrene types and insulation materials
- Adheres well to common porous building materials
Cons
- Limited to interior applications only
- Requires porous substrates for optimal adhesion
- Not suitable for non-porous surfaces or exterior use
- Drying time may vary based on temperature and humidity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. Apply the adhesive evenly to one surface using a suitable tool (e.g., spatula or brush). For polystyrene, apply thin, even beads. For porous substrates, a thicker, more generous application may be suitable.
Compatibility:
- Suitable For: Soft polystyrene, hard polystyrene, foamed insulation materials, plasterboard, wood, concrete, and other porous building substrates.
- Not Suitable For: Non-porous surfaces (e.g., glass, metal, some plastics), exterior applications, or wet areas.
Care:
Store the adhesive in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Clean tools immediately after use with water. Once cured, the adhesive is permanent.
