Genius plasterboard adhesive - PU foam adhesive - Soudal

Fast-drying polyurethane adhesive thanks to "Low Expansion" technology. Ideal for horizontal and vertical bonding in dry construction. Bonds and seals all types of insulation materials, including rock wool, glass wool, cellular glass, cork, etc. Bonds panels such as plasterboard, gypsum fiberboard, cement board, composite panels, etc. Directly to the wall or to woodwork.

Features :

• Ready to use immediately, no mixing required.
• High filling capacity.
• Controlled and very moderate swelling.
• Adheres to most building materials.
• Excellent thermal and acoustic insulation.

Applications:

• Durable, economical, clean and efficient bonding of thermal insulation panels.
• Suitable for bonding rigid foam-based insulation panels made of PS (EPS + PSX), polyurethane (PUR/PIR) and phenolic in areas such as: flat roofs, perimeters, facades, drainage or insulation elements, basement ceilings, interior insulation, etc.
• Bonding of fiber gypsum/plasterboard panels in dry construction.
• Bonding of non-load-bearing interior walls, such as partitions, privacy walls, American-style bar counters, stone shelves, etc., in flat blocks (cellular concrete, silico.

Instructions for use:

1. The surfaces must be clean, clear, load-bearing, and free from dust and grease.
2. Wear safety glasses and gloves. The can must be at a temperature between +5°C and +25°C. (1) The gloves are located in the Genius Gun's flap. (2 and 3)
3. Shake the can firmly for 30 seconds, then regularly during use. (4 and 5)
4. Place the tube upright and turn the can upside down to use.
5. Press the dosing button and apply the plasterboard adhesive in 30 mm diameter beads around the perimeter of the plasterboard.
6. Next, apply the glue inside in a zigzag pattern or directly onto the load-bearing part.
7. Allow the adhesive beads to dry for 5 minutes before applying the panel to the wall. Position the panel in its final position, press firmly, and hold it in place, supported or temporarily fixed, for 1 minute.
8. Allow the assembly to rest for a minimum of 60 minutes before loading and finalizing. (6 and 7) Close the can tightly after use.

   Yes, once hardened, the foam adhesive is moisture resistant and suitable for outdoor applications, provided it is protected according to best practices.
3. Is it compatible with all types of insulation?
   It is compatible with most rigid insulation materials (EPS, XPS, PUR, PIR). It is recommended to verify the exact compatibility according to the type of board.
4. Are additional mechanical fixings necessary?
   Depending on the application and applicable standards, mechanical fixings may be required in addition to gluing, particularly for facades.
5. How much surface area can be covered with one cartridge?
   Yield depends on the application method and the substrate, but one cartridge can generally cover several square meters, making it very economical.
6. Can the plates be adjusted after gluing?
   Yes, an adjustment period of a few minutes is possible before the final setting.
