Let’s face it – no one’s got time to mess around with three different tubes when one will do the job. That’s where Hybrid Adhesives & Sealants come in.
They’re the game-changer that’s been taking over building sites across Ireland and the UK.
What’s the story with these Hybrids?
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.
Why the Trade Is All In
In the last five years, hybrids have exploded onto the scene. Across Ireland, tradespeople are sealing windows, bonding floors, fixing roofs and much much more – all with one product.
Hybrids 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
Bottom line: they work, and that’s why the demand’s gone through the roof.

Merchants love them too. Less shelf clutter, easier to recommend and great value.
According to GFK, hybrids are the fastest growing segment in adhesives and sealants in the Builders Merchant market – doubling in size since 2019.
