Soudabond TURBO - Rapid Set PU Adhesive Foam

Health & Safety Recommendations

Adopt normal site hygiene at all times. Wear protective gloves and safety goggles, and ensure good ventilation when working indoors. The pressurised canister must be kept away from heat sources, sparks and open flames.

Do not smoke during use. Avoid skin and eye contact and do not deliberately inhale vapours. If you are working in windy conditions, shield surrounding areas so overspray cannot contaminate nearby components, vehicles, glazing or bystanders. Uncured adhesive can be removed with Soudafoam Gun & Foam Cleaner; cured foam must be cut away mechanically. Never burn off cured foam.

Always read the product label and the material safety data sheet before starting. If you intend to atomise water to accelerate curing or you are using compressed air equipment nearby, put additional safety controls in place to avoid aerosol exposure and ignition risks.

Substrate Suitability

Soudabond TURBO bonds to the usual construction substrates, including concrete, masonry, stone, plaster, wood, cold bituminous thick coatings, sand or slate-surfaced bituminous sheeting, polystyrene (EPS and XPS), polyurethane (PUR/PIR) and phenolic foam boards, corrosion-protected steel sheeting, fibre cement, autoclaved aerated concrete, particle board, plasterboard, gypsum fibreboard, hard PVC and well-bound emulsion paints.

Substrates may be building-moist but must not be wet; there must be no surface water film or standing water. It does not adhere to polyethylene, polypropylene, PTFE or silicone. On mineral substrates, remove any cement slurry or sinter layers. On bituminous sheeting, remove blisters and ensure the membrane is fully bonded across its face so the adhesive can achieve continuous contact. Always carry out a small on-site adhesion and compatibility test where surface history or coatings are unknown.

Surface Preparation

Adhesive faces must be stable, sound, clean and free from dust, release agents and contaminants such as talc, grease, oil, loose paint and friable plaster. Remove burrs and high spots mechanically and vacuum away dust.

Where existing paint or plaster may be weak, verify stability with a simple tape pull test; if material releases onto the tape, reinforce or remove and make good before bonding. On chalky or very absorbent surfaces, improve adhesion with a suitable deep primer and allow it to dry in accordance with the primer manufacturer’s instructions.

Check that temperature and humidity are within a sensible working range and that exterior joints and board edges will be detailed for weather protection, as the cured adhesive is water-repellent rather than waterproof.

Application Method — General Procedure

Mask adjacent finishes where required. Screw the can firmly onto a clean, serviceable foam gun. Shake vigorously with the can pointing downwards around 20 times to mix the contents thoroughly; repeat shaking after any pause in work. Keep the can upright during use. Set the gun’s adjusting screw to deliver the bead size you require, noting you will open it further as the can empties. Hold the gun vertical and maintain a stand-off of roughly 1–2cm from the nozzle to the substrate or panel while applying. Apply continuous, even beads and bring the components together within about 3min at 20°C and 65%RH; at higher temperature or humidity the open time shortens, and at lower conditions it lengthens. Position carefully in one operation and press firmly into place; do not tap into position and do not lift and re-bed on the same adhesive, as this breaks the cellular structure and weakens the bond. In hot, very dry conditions you may very lightly mist the adhesive bead with clean water to accelerate cure. Where multiple layers are built up, lightly moisten between layers. Do not load or traffic the bond line during the early cure period.

Application Method — Flat Roof Insulation

Apply Soudabond TURBO directly to the roof substrate in parallel beads. Press boards firmly into place to achieve full contact and keep them free from traffic for about 30min. As a minimum, allow for three uniform beads of approximately 30mm diameter per m² of adhesive area. The number and spacing of beads must be increased for corners, perimeters and edges in line with the project’s wind-load design; larger roofs, taller buildings and exposed locations demand more adhesive per area to satisfy uplift resistance. Always follow your project specification and local structural guidance.

Application Method — Perimeter Insulation To Foundation Walls

For cellar or perimeter insulation in accordance with good practice, apply vertical beads from bottom to top at roughly 25cm centres. Use at least three beads per full-length board or at least two beads for short boards. Press panels lightly to the wall working from the base course upward, maintain tight joints without gaps, and stagger corners. You may re-true any minor post-expansion within about 3min using a long straightedge. The final compressive strength is achieved once the trench is backfilled and compacted; schedule backfilling within 14 days. Do not use in locations subject to pressing water.

Application Method — Overhead Bonding To Cellar Or Garage Ceilings

Check ceiling stability first using a tape pull test on finishes; prime chalky or very absorbent surfaces if required, and remove protrusions. Soudabond TURBO’s high initial grab allows permanent overhead bonding of EPS, XPS or PUR/PIR boards up to approximately 600×1200mm, thickness up to about 100mm and board mass up to about 400g; heavier or larger elements should receive temporary mechanical support within 15min, for example with props. Apply at least one continuous perimeter bead and one internal bead of around 30mm to each board, keeping beads back from edges to prevent squeeze-out. After applying the adhesive, allow a short flash-off of about 1.5–2.5min to build initial strength, then offer up the board carefully and press home without tapping. Fix adjacent boards after roughly 5min so the previous board has taken a hold. Under difficult site conditions, add a central insulation anchor per board once the minimum cure time has elapsed.

Application Method — Interior Insulation And Dry Lining

Prepare the wall as described earlier. Soudabond TURBO can level undulations up to around 30mm. Apply a continuous circular bead approximately 2cm in from all board edges and then apply additional lines or a W-pattern across the board. The aim is to achieve a contact area of about 40% after pressing into place. For cut-outs and penetrations, ensure the edge beads are continuous to prevent air circulation behind the lining. Allow 1–2min flash-off depending on conditions, then set the board on packers, align and press from the bottom upward. Do not tap or remove and reapply; if adjustment is required, apply fresh adhesive. After about 6–10min check for plumb and level and make minor adjustments. Seal all perimeters, corners and service penetrations fully with Soudabond TURBO for airtightness and acoustic benefit. Work can typically continue after a minimum of about 30min.

Application Method — Construction Block Bonding (Non-Structural)

This adhesive is not for structural or safety-critical walls. Ventilate well when working indoors. Clean and lightly moisten contact faces. Run two continuous 30mm beads parallel to the stone edges, approximately 50mm in from each edge, on both horizontal and vertical joints. Place, align and press blocks within about 3min at 20°C and 65%RH. If you remove a placed unit, rake off the disturbed adhesive and apply fresh beads before re-setting. Allow excess to cure, then trim with a sharp scraper. Depending on temperature, light work can usually continue from about 30min, with full bond strength developing after at least 12h.

Coverage

Yield depends on bead size, substrate absorbency and pattern. As a guide, up to 14m² of insulation bonding can be achieved per can under typical conditions.

For flat roofs, allow at least three 30mm beads per m² as a baseline, increasing bead count and density at perimeters and corners to suit wind load.

For overhead ceiling boards around 600×1200mm, a typical application is one perimeter bead and one internal bead, using roughly 40g per board.

Drying Time

Skin forms in about 3min. Cutting strength is reached from around 20min. Areas can typically be walked on or lightly loaded after about 30min, but do not impose concentrated loads until the adhesive has had longer to cure.

Full strength is achieved after a minimum of 12h. All times depend on temperature, humidity, bead size and substrate moisture; warmer and more humid conditions accelerate cure, while cooler and drier conditions slow it.

Limitations

Do not use on polyethylene, polypropylene, PTFE or silicone. Do not apply onto wet surfaces, standing water or where the bond will be permanently submerged or subject to pressing water.

The cured adhesive is water-repellent, not waterproof, and must be detailed for weather protection in exterior applications. Protect the cured bond line from prolonged UV exposure.

Do not use for structural elements or components that require formal approvals or certification. Avoid tapping components into place and avoid lifting and re-bedding on the same adhesive. Respect open times; if missed, apply fresh beads.

Cleaning

Clean uncured material immediately using Soudafoam Gun & Foam Cleaner and wipe tools before the adhesive sets. Do not use solvent on finished decorative faces.

Once cured, remove excess mechanically with a sharp knife, plane or scraper; residues may be softened with Soudal Cured PU Foam Remover where appropriate and then lifted away. Keep gun adaptors clean and lubricated in line with the gun manufacturer’s guidance so dosing remains precise.

Other Information

Soudabond TURBO is a single-component, moisture-curing polyurethane adhesive that foams slightly to wet out surfaces and level minor irregularities while keeping post-expansion low for accurate installation.

ypical performance data include skin formation around 3min, cutting time around 20min, thermal conductivity about 0.034W/m·K, shear strength around 36kPa, tensile strength around 70kPa, and service temperature roughly −40°C to +90°C in the cured state, with short-term peaks up to about 120°C for one hour.

It is solvent-free, polystyrene-safe and CFC/HCFC-free. Store canisters upright in a cool, dry place and do not expose to direct sunlight or temperatures that exceed the manufacturer’s limits.

There is no requirement for water or electricity to mix, which simplifies logistics on site and makes the product well suited to rapid, clean bonding of insulation panels, plasterboard, lightweight blocks and small decorative elements.

Q) What is Soudabond TURBO – Rapid Set PU Adhesive Foam and what problems does it solve on site?

A) Soudabond TURBO is a single-component, gun-applied polyurethane (PU) adhesive foam formulated for fast, clean bonding of insulation panels and many common building materials. It cures up to three times faster than standard adhesive foams, giving an open time of up to 3 minutes and developing cutting/handling strength from roughly 20–30 minutes, so follow-on work can continue the same visit. The thixotropic bead stays where you place it, levels minor irregularities and has limited post-expansion, helping you keep boards flat and joints crisp. Because it is solvent-free, water-repellent and safe on polystyrene, it replaces messy mortars without attacking sensitive foams. It is suitable for interior and exterior use where protected from UV, and one tin can cover up to about 14 m² of insulation under typical conditions, cutting material handling and waste. In short, Soudabond TURBO speeds programmes while delivering reliable, durable bonds.

Q) How does Soudabond TURBO compare with traditional bonding mortars and standard foam adhesives?

A) Unlike bagged mortars, Soudabond TURBO requires no water, power or mixing, so there’s less set-up, less clean-down and no heavy sacks to shift. The gun gives metered dosing for neat beads and predictable yield, often translating into labour savings of up to 30% and cleaner work areas ready for the next trade. Versus standard foam adhesives, Soudabond TURBO cures markedly faster (open time up to 3 minutes; cut from around 20 minutes), and its limited post-expansion helps you maintain alignment at corners and edges without re-trimming. The foam bead bridges small undulations, creating a continuous contact line that improves adhesion and reduces drumming behind boards. With a low thermal conductivity (about 0.034 W/m·K) it also helps maintain the continuity of insulation at joints. You gain speed, control and finish quality while retaining a tough, elastic bond that tolerates normal building movement.

Q) Which materials and substrates are compatible with Soudabond TURBO?

A) Soudabond TURBO adheres to most construction substrates including concrete, masonry, stone, plaster, wood, fibre-cement, autoclaved aerated concrete, sand-lime brick, many hollow masonry units, corrosion-protected steel sheet, particle board, plasterboard and gypsum fibreboard. It bonds common insulation types such as EPS/XPS polystyrene, PUR/PIR polyurethane and phenolic foam boards, and it is suitable for fixing small details like skirtings and rosettes. It does not adhere to low-surface-energy plastics such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) or PTFE, and it should not be applied to silicone-contaminated surfaces. Substrates may be building-moist but must not have standing water or a surface water film. As with any adhesive, remove dust, release agents and friable layers, and where surface history is unknown carry out a small on-site adhesion test. Properly prepared faces yield the best and most durable results with Soudabond TURBO.

Q) Where is Soudabond TURBO typically used and which applications benefit most from its rapid set?

A) The adhesive is engineered for insulation bonding on flat roofs, façades, perimeter/foundation walls, cellar ceilings and internal dry-lining, where a quick, controlled set keeps programmes moving. It excels at adhering gypsum boards in dry-lining, assembling non-load-bearing partitions from rectified blocks, and fixing small architectural details where limited post-expansion preserves crisp lines. Overhead work—such as cellar or garage ceiling insulation—benefits from the high initial grab and predictable handling strength from around 20–30 minutes. It is also valuable for joint filling between insulation boards to reduce thermal bridging, and for rapid upgrades in occupied properties where noise, dust and mess must be kept to a minimum. Use Soudabond TURBO indoors or outdoors where the cured bond line is protected from UV and the overall build-up is detailed correctly to shed weather. Its versatility reduces the number of different products you need to carry.

Q) When should I choose Soudabond TURBO instead of mechanical fixings or slower adhesives?

A) Choose Soudabond TURBO when speed, cleanliness and precise placement are priorities—retrofits, tight programmes, small teams, or sites without easy access to water and power. It’s ideal where limited post-expansion is essential to keep boards true, and where minor substrate unevenness must be bridged without full re-skim or levelling. On flat roofs and façades, it provides continuous adhesion without puncturing vapour or waterproof layers with unnecessary fixings, while still allowing supplementary anchors where specifications demand. In dry-lining, its rapid handling strength allows you to progress with trimming, sealing and follow-on trades the same day. For non-structural block assemblies and detail fixings, it removes mixing delays and wet-trade mess. If the specification requires solely mechanical restraint, permanent immersion, or bonding to PE/PP/PTFE, it is not the right choice; otherwise Soudabond TURBO is a fast, economical solution.

Q) How fast does Soudabond TURBO cure and when can I handle or load the bonded elements?

A) At around 20°C and 65% relative humidity, skin forms in roughly 3 minutes, cutting strength is typically reached from about 20 minutes, and light loading or continuation of works is usually possible from around 30 minutes. Full cure and design strength develop after at least 12 hours. Temperature, humidity, bead geometry and substrate absorbency all affect cure: warmer and more humid conditions accelerate the process; cooler or very dry conditions slow it. You can lightly mist the bead with clean water in hot, dry weather to promote faster curing, but avoid overwetting and never apply to surfaces with standing water. During the early cure period, avoid tapping components into position or re-bedding on the same adhesive, as this breaks the cellular structure and compromises bond strength. Plan sequencing so the bond line is not trafficked or point-loaded until the minimum handling time has elapsed.

Q) How much area will a tin of Soudabond TURBO cover and what affects yield on site?

A) Coverage depends on bead size, pattern, substrate absorbency and ambient conditions, but up to about 14 m² of insulation bonding per tin is a realistic guide under typical settings. The metered gun trigger lets you tailor bead diameter to the application: smaller, continuous beads and well-planned patterns deliver more bonded area per tin than over-large beads with gaps. On flat roofs, allow at least three uniform beads of roughly 30 mm diameter per square metre as a baseline, increasing bead count and density at perimeters, corners and exposed elevations to meet wind-load design. Overhead boards around 600 × 1200 mm typically need one perimeter bead and one internal bead. Keeping substrates clean, dry and stable improves yield, as does avoiding over-application at edges where squeeze-out would be wasted. Shake the can thoroughly and keep the gun serviced so flow remains consistent throughout the tin.

Q) How do I apply Soudabond TURBO correctly for reliable, tidy bonds?

A) Screw a clean, serviceable foam gun firmly onto the can, then shake vigorously (around 20 shakes with the can inverted) to homogenise the contents; repeat after breaks. Set the gun’s adjuster for the bead size you need and hold the nozzle 1–2 cm from the surface. Apply continuous, even beads and bring parts together within about 3 minutes in normal conditions. Aim for a single, deliberate placement with firm pressure; do not tap components into line, and if you must adjust significantly, rake off disturbed adhesive and apply fresh beads. Leave beads back from board edges to limit squeeze-out and wipe any accidental smears while uncured using a dedicated PU foam cleaner. Maintain a short, direct application route, keep the can upright during use, and increase the adjuster slightly as the can empties. Good preparation, consistent bead geometry and patient handling during the first half-hour are the keys to clean, dependable results.

Q) What application tips help keep panels flat and joints crisp with Soudabond TURBO?

A) The product’s limited post-expansion already aids alignment, but technique matters. Use continuous perimeter beads with internal lines or a W-pattern so you achieve about 40% contact area after pressing boards home. Keep beads 15–20 mm in from edges to prevent squeeze-out onto finished faces. On warm days give a short flash-off of 1.5–2.5 minutes before offering up heavy boards, which increases initial tack and reduces creep; in very dry conditions a light mist on the bead can speed cure. Work methodically from fixed reference lines, press firmly without rocking, and check plumb/level after 6–10 minutes to make small corrections before handling strength fully develops. On overhead work, consider temporary props for larger or heavier elements during the first quarter-hour. Finally, seal perimeters and penetrations after fixing to improve airtightness and acoustic performance, then avoid loading until the minimum handling time has passed.

Q) How do I use Soudabond TURBO to bond insulation boards on flat roofs and façades?

A) For flat roofs, apply parallel, continuous beads directly to the roof substrate—at least three 30 mm beads per m² as a starting point—then press boards firmly to achieve full contact. Increase bead density at perimeters, corners and highly exposed zones to satisfy the project’s wind-uplift calculations, and keep boards free from traffic for about 30 minutes. On façades or internal linings, run a continuous perimeter bead and internal lines to reach roughly 40% contact after pressing. The foam levels small irregularities, but remove obvious high spots and ensure the substrate is stable, clean and free of release agents. Because Soudabond TURBO is water-repellent rather than waterproof, detail edges, joints and interfaces correctly for weather protection, and protect the cured bond line from prolonged UV. Where specifications demand, supplement with mechanical fixings once handling strength is achieved, taking care not to disturb recently bonded areas.

Q) Can I use Soudabond TURBO for dry-lining and plasterboard, and what is the recommended pattern?

A) Yes. Prepare the wall so it is sound and dust-free, and verify weak paint or plaster with a simple tape pull test. Apply a continuous circular bead about 2 cm in from all board edges, then add internal lines or a W-pattern so that, after pressing, around 40% of the board area is in contact with adhesive. Allow 1–2 minutes flash-off depending on conditions, then set the board on packers, align and press from bottom to top with firm, even pressure. Do not tap into place; if significant adjustment is required, remove, scrape back disturbed adhesive and apply fresh beads. Check for plumb and level after 6–10 minutes while minor corrections are still possible. Seal perimeters, corners and service penetrations with Soudabond TURBO or compatible sealant to limit air circulation behind the lining and improve acoustic performance, then continue work once the minimum handling time has elapsed.

Q) Is Soudabond TURBO suitable for overhead bonding to cellar or garage ceilings?

A) It is well suited to overhead insulation such as EPS, XPS or PUR/PIR boards within sensible size and weight limits. Ensure the ceiling finish is stable—prime chalky or highly absorbent surfaces if needed—and remove protrusions that would prevent contact. Apply at least one continuous perimeter bead and one internal bead to each board, keeping beads back from edges to prevent squeeze-out. After applying the adhesive, allow a short flash-off of around 1.5–2.5 minutes to build initial tack, then offer up the board and press home without tapping. For boards up to roughly 600 × 1200 mm and typical densities, the high initial grab usually suffices; larger or heavier boards should be temporarily propped for about 15 minutes. Fix adjacent boards after roughly 5 minutes so the previous board has taken hold, and consider a central insulation anchor per board under challenging site conditions once the minimum cure time has elapsed.

Q) Can Soudabond TURBO be used for perimeter/foundation insulation and what is the method?

A) Yes—perimeter insulation to foundation walls is a common use. Apply vertical beads from bottom to top at about 25 cm centres, using at least three beads per full-length board (or two for short boards). Press panels lightly onto the wall from a base course upward, maintain tight, staggered joints and re-true any minor post-expansion within about 3 minutes using a straightedge. The final compressive resistance is achieved once the trench is backfilled and compacted; schedule backfilling within 14 days to support boards and protect the adhesive. Do not use in locations subject to pressing water or standing groundwater; the adhesive is water-repellent, not waterproof, and the overall detail must shed moisture. As always, ensure the substrate is stable, clean and free of bond-breakers, and protect exposed edges from UV during and after installation until covered.

Q) Does Soudabond TURBO help reduce thermal bridging at insulation joints?

A) Yes. The cured foam has a low thermal conductivity of around 0.034 W/m·K and can be used to fill gaps and edge cavities between boards, improving the continuity of the thermal layer. By running continuous perimeter beads and filling small gaps before they become air paths, you reduce convective bypass and cold spots that undermine U-values in practice. The foam’s slight elasticity accommodates normal thermal and hygric movement without cracking, maintaining the integrity of the joint over time. For best results, cut boards accurately, maintain tight butt joints and limit overfilling—apply enough adhesive to make contact without creating bulges at seams. Seal perimeters and penetrations fully, and where an air-barrier membrane is present, integrate the adhesive strategy with tapes and sealants compatible with that membrane. Used this way, Soudabond TURBO supports both thermal and airtightness objectives.

Q) What are the main limitations of Soudabond TURBO and when should I not use it?

A) Do not use Soudabond TURBO on polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), PTFE or silicone-contaminated surfaces, as adhesion will be poor. It must not be applied to wet, flooded or permanently submerged areas, nor used where pressing water is present; the cured adhesive is water-repellent rather than fully waterproof. The product is for non-structural applications—do not rely on it for load-bearing or safety-critical elements that require approvals. Prolonged UV exposure will degrade PU foams, so protect cured bond lines from sunlight. Avoid tapping components into line, lifting and re-bedding onto the same bead, or over-spanning large voids that exceed the adhesive’s ability to bridge. Finally, respect open times: if you miss the 3-minute window (at 20°C/65% RH), scrape back the bead and apply fresh adhesive rather than forcing contact on skinned foam, which compromises bond performance.

Q) How should I prepare surfaces before using Soudabond TURBO for best adhesion?

A) Ensure all adhesive faces are stable, sound, clean and dry to the touch. Remove dust, cement slurry/sinter layers, release agents, talc, grease, oil, and loose paint or friable plaster. Knock back obvious high spots and vacuum thoroughly. Where existing coatings appear weak, a simple tape pull test will reveal whether reinforcement or removal is needed before bonding. On chalky or very absorbent substrates, prime with a suitable deep primer and allow to dry in line with the primer manufacturer’s guidance. On bituminous sheeting, remove blisters and confirm the membrane is fully bonded across its face so the adhesive can form a continuous contact line. Always verify compatibility on small test areas where surface history is unknown. Good preparation takes minutes and pays back with stronger, neater and more durable results from Soudabond TURBO.

Q) What gun setup and application practice give the cleanest results with Soudabond TURBO?

A) Use a clean, well-maintained foam gun with the adjuster set for a consistent bead that suits the task—typically 8–12 mm for linings and larger (up to about 30 mm) where specified on roofs. Shake the can vigorously before first use and after pauses, keep it upright during application, and increase the adjuster slightly as pressure diminishes towards the end of the tin. Maintain a steady 1–2 cm stand-off from nozzle to surface and move at a uniform speed to avoid over-application. Plan bead patterns so joins between passes overlap slightly for continuity, and keep beads back from edges to limit squeeze-out. After fixing, leave the gun parked with the can attached and valve closed; purging cleaner through the gun at the end of the shift prevents cured residues. Regularly wipe the adapter and nozzle, and store the can and gun in a cool, dry place between sessions to preserve dosing accuracy.

Q) How do I clean up Soudabond TURBO and look after tools and surrounding finishes?

A) Wipe away uncured adhesive immediately with a dedicated PU foam cleaner compatible with your gun and substrates; general solvents can damage finishes and are far less effective. Protect adjacent work with masking before you begin, particularly in windy conditions outdoors. Once cured, the adhesive must be removed mechanically using a sharp knife, plane or scraper; where appropriate, soften residues with a specialist cured PU foam remover before lifting away. Keep the gun adapter clean and lightly lubricated per the gun manufacturer’s guidance so the needle and valve remain free-moving. Never burn off cured foam and never use aggressive solvents on decorative faces. Tidiness during application—correct bead size, edge stand-off and immediate wipe-downs—minimises remedial work and keeps the project moving.

Q) What health and safety measures apply when using Soudabond TURBO?

A) Treat Soudabond TURBO like any professional PU adhesive. Wear gloves and eye protection, and ensure adequate ventilation when working indoors. The pressurised canister must be kept away from heat, sparks and open flames; do not smoke during use. Avoid skin and eye contact and do not deliberately inhale vapours or aerosols. If using a fine water mist to accelerate curing in hot, dry conditions, do so lightly and avoid creating unnecessary aerosols. Uncured spills should be cleaned with a PU foam cleaner; cured material must be removed mechanically—never burned. Read the label and safety data sheet before starting, and store canisters upright in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, within the temperature limits stated by the manufacturer. As with any overhead work, use stable access equipment and consider temporary props for heavier elements during early cure.

Q) What technical performance data are typical for Soudabond TURBO once cured?

A) Typical properties of the cured adhesive include a thermal conductivity of about 0.034 W/m·K, tensile strength around 70 kPa and shear strength around 36 kPa, reflecting a tough yet slightly elastic bond line that accommodates normal movement without embrittlement. Service temperature is roughly −40°C to +90°C in routine use, with short-term peaks up to around 120°C for one hour. The foam is resistant to heat/cold cycling, many paints, solvents and household chemicals, and it does not rot or age under normal service conditions when protected from UV. Remember that actual performance depends on bead geometry, substrate preparation, joint design and curing conditions; adhere to good-practice detailing for weathering, airtightness and mechanical restraint where specified. Used as directed, Soudabond TURBO provides durable, economical adhesion across a wide spectrum of building tasks.

Q) Is Soudabond TURBO waterproof and can it be used outdoors permanently exposed to weather and sunlight?

A) Soudabond TURBO is water-repellent once cured, meaning it resists incidental moisture and normal ambient humidity, but it is not a waterproofing product and must not be used where joints will be permanently submerged or subject to pressing water. It is suitable for exterior applications when the build-up is detailed to shed weather and when the cured bond line is protected from prolonged UV exposure. In practice, this means covering with subsequent layers—claddings, render systems, membranes or board finishes—rather than leaving adhesive joints exposed. Protect open edges during construction, and once covered, the adhesive performs reliably across seasonal temperature swings. For below-grade perimeter insulation, ensure correct drainage and backfilling within a sensible time frame to support boards and shield the bond from direct sunlight and standing water.

Q) Can Soudabond TURBO be used structurally or to replace fixings where certification is required?

A) No. Soudabond TURBO is intended for non-structural bonding of insulation, linings, lightweight blocks and small details. It provides excellent initial grab and durable service strength for these purposes, but it is not a substitute for structural adhesives, anchors or fixings where formal approvals or specific load calculations are required. On roofs and façades, always follow the project specification and local code guidance: increase bead density at perimeters and corners for wind-load resistance, and add mechanical restraint where design dictates. In overhead scenarios, respect the practical size/weight limits and use temporary props during early cure, adding anchors if site conditions warrant. Treat Soudabond TURBO as a rapid, economical bonding system within a compliant assembly, not as a stand-alone structural solution.

Q) What storage, shelf-life and general handling advice applies to Soudabond TURBO?

A) Store tins upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, within the temperature range stated on the can. Avoid leaving canisters in hot vehicles or freezing conditions, both of which impair performance and can affect propellant pressure. Before use, bring the can to a moderate temperature so bead quality and yield are consistent, then shake vigorously to re-suspend the contents. Keep the can attached to the gun with the valve closed between applications to prevent air ingress, and purge the gun with dedicated cleaner at the end of the shift. Observe any shelf-life printed on the packaging and rotate stock on a first-in, first-out basis. With sensible storage and routine gun care, Soudabond TURBO remains ready for rapid, precise bonding whenever you need it.
