ADHESIVES & SEALANTS

OB1 IS MAKING ITS MARK IN NORTHERN IRELAND, WITH ITS OB1 MULTI- SURFACE CONSTRUCTION SEALANT & ADHESIVE NOW JOINED BY A NEW RANGE OF HEAVY-DUTY CLEANING WIPES... Hybrid adhesives & sealants

Let’s be honest, the days of selling five different tubes to do one job are numbered. Trades want one product that just works and that’s exactly why hybrid adhesives and sealants are flying off shelves. They’re fast, strong, versatile and easy to recommend. No fluff. No confusion. Just results. What’s the big deal with hybrids? Hybrids bring together the best of silicones, acrylics, polyurethanes and epoxies in one reliable solution. They stick, seal, flex and last. From bathrooms to roofs, windows to floors, they cover more jobs with less hassle, a clear win for busy trades. Built for real-world jobs Trades don’t need delicate, specialist products that only work in perfect conditions. They need something that performs first time, every time. Hybrids deliver: • Serious grab • Long-term flexibility • Durability in harsh conditions • Resistance to weather, chemicals and movement The result? Fewer callbacks, less stress, and better results on site. Over the last few years, hybrids have gone from ‘nice to have’ to essential kit. They perform in heat, cold and damp, stay flexible for movement joints, resist UV and weather and save time by reducing the number of products needed. They’re also cleaner to use, cutting down on mess and waste. Merchants see it too Builders’ merchants are seeing hybrid adhesives and sealants outperform traditional products. According to GFK, the category has doubled in size since 2019, making it the fastest-growing segment in the market. OB1® – Making its mark in Ireland OB1® Multi-Surface Construction Sealant & Adhesive is one of the fastest-growing hybrids in the UK.
