Description  

Adheseal Multi-Grip is a water-based, high-initial-grab acrylic construction adhesive for subfloors, wall sheeting, cornices and building mouldings. It grips common building materials while wet and forms a resilient bond that can accommodate some movement in timber floor and wall systems.

Choose Multi-Grip when fixing suitable timber, plasterboard, fibre-cement sheet and polystyrene foam without a solvent-based adhesive. Its non-sag paste is useful for vertical and overhead work, and uncured material cleans up with water.

Common Multi-Grip applications

  • Subfloor sheeting: bedding suitable floor panels onto timber joists to help reduce movement and squeaks.
  • Tongue-and-groove panels: applying adhesive into sheet grooves before assembly to reduce friction and floor noise.
  • Wall sheeting: bonding suitable panels to prepared studs with the board maker's required fasteners.
  • Cornices and mouldings: fixing compatible internal or external trim and overhead details.
  • Polystyrene and acoustic components: attaching compatible foam components and selected soundproofing materials.

Installation and selection

Apply beads to clean, sound substrates, bring sheets together while the adhesive is wet and fix according to the flooring or wallboard manufacturer's requirements. Multi-Grip can bond to slightly damp surfaces but not surfaces saturated with water. For flooring, the product is intended for appropriate sheet and subfloor construction, not the laying of strip timber or parquetry flooring.

Multi-Grip and Multi-Tack overlap in subfloor and wallboard applications; compare the pack format and specific installation rather than assuming either replaces required mechanical fastening. Neither is an immersed waterproofing adhesive.

Common Questions  

Is Multi-Grip suitable for plasterboard?
Yes. It complies with AS 2753 for fixing plasterboard wallboards.

Can it be used on damp surfaces?
It can bond to slightly damp surfaces, but do not use it on water-saturated substrates.

Can it be used for parquetry flooring?
No. It is not suitable for strip or parquetry flooring.

What is the application temperature range?
Apply between 5°C and 35°C.

Uses & Benefits  
Water-based acrylic construction adhesive for sub-floors, wall sheets, cornices, mouldings and general building work. High initial grab helps hold panels on vertical and overhead surfaces. Complies with AS 2753 for plasterboard fixing and AS 2329 for other wallboards. Cures to a flexible bond with 15% elongation at break. A 6mm bead covers about 9 lineal metres per 600ml sausage.
How To Apply  
Use on clean, dry substrates free from dirt. Slightly damp surfaces are acceptable, but do not apply to saturated material. Apply a 6mm to 10mm bead to joists or studs. Where wall panels butt together, use two parallel beads about 25mm apart. Place sheets immediately into the wet adhesive with minimal sliding. Fasten panels in line with the board or flooring manufacturer's fixing instructions. Remove squeezed-out adhesive before cure. Clean uncured material with water.
Limitations and Safety Info  
Do not use on surfaces saturated with water. Do not use for water immersion. Do not use for laying strip flooring or parquetry flooring. Apply only between 5°C and 35°C. Sand warped or twisted timber so mating surfaces sit flush before bonding.
Suitable Substrates  
  • Timber framing, studs and joists.
  • Plasterboard and wall sheeting.
  • Concrete and fibre-cement sheet.
  • Metal.
  • Polystyrene foam.

  • Complies AS:2329 (wallboards)
  • 1.715 N/mm2 tensile strength
  • Bonding timber to studs

Flooring

Sub-floor Squeak Prevention

Constructing sub-floors where eliminating future squeaks and preventing timber warping is a critical requirement.

Applied to tongue and groove joints, it prevents movement between timber elements, effectively stopping squeaks and reducing panel warping as timber dries.

  • Eliminates squeaking of floors
  • Prevents timber warping
  • Bonds timber to joists
  • 78.37 kgf/cm² wood adhesion @ 1 day

Wood

Timber Structural Bonding

Securely bond timber to studs or joists in sub-floor and wall framing, requiring immediate grab without extensive bracing.

High initial grab and significant tensile strength ensure components hold quickly, minimising temporary fixings and preventing movement while curing.

  • 78.37 kgf/cm² wood adhesion @ 1 day
  • 1.715 N/mm² tensile strength @ 7 days
  • Non Sag (anti-drip overhead)
  • Flexible 15% elongation

Civil Construction

Wallboard & Cornice Installation

Install wall sheeting (plasterboard, F.C. sheeting) and cornices on vertical or overhead surfaces, needing compliant, instant hold.

It delivers high initial grab and meets AS:2753 and AS:2329, ensuring rapid, compliant fixing of wallboards and mouldings with minimal sag.

  • Complies AS:2753 & AS:2329
  • Bonds concrete F.C. sheeting
  • Non Sag (anti-drip overhead)
  • 25 minute skin time @ 25°C

Plastering

Fix Cornice & Mouldings

Securely bond decorative cornices, architraves, or mouldings to walls and ceilings without slumping or requiring support.

The very high initial grab and non-sag consistency ensures overhead decorative elements bond instantly and stay in place without drip.

  • Very high initial grab
  • Non-Sag (anti-drip)
  • Water clean-up tools
  • Bonds polystyrene foam
