Hybrid Adhesives & Sealants are a game-changer that’s been taking over building sites across Ireland and the UK. They aren’t your average adhesives or sealants. Hybrids mix the best bits of silicones, acrylics, PUs and epoxies giving you serious bonding power, flexibility, durability, and chemical resistance all in one!
You can use them to stick, seal, fill, repair and get the job done, no swapping products, no messing about.
In the last five years, hybrids have exploded onto the scene.

Across Ireland, tradespeople are sealing windows, bonding floors, fixing roofs and much more, all with one product.
Hybrid Adhesives & Sealants are:
- Tough as nails – hold strong in any conditions
- Flexible – ideal for movement joints
- Weatherproof and UV-resistant
- Time-saving – one tube, multiple jobs
- Clean and easy to use – less waste, less hassle
They work, and that’s why the demand’s increasing year on year.
Increased sales in Builders Merchants
Builders Merchants and Hardware Stores love them too. Less shelf clutter, easier to recommend and great value. They are one of the fastest growing segments in adhesives and sealants in the Builders Merchant market because tradespeople demand products that work, and hybrids deliver every time.
