Multi-purpose, solvent-free construction adhesive

BuildSecure is a non-toxic, VOC-compliant construction adhesive that can be used as an eco-alternative to Liquid Nails® in all building projects. It is extremely strong with 500-600 psi shear strength and 550-650 psi tensile strength.

BuildSecure is moisture-cured and fast-setting on concrete, metal or wood. In addition, it contains high solids but is non-slumping and will not shrink or crack.

It can be used in vertical, horizontal and overhead applications, as well as in low temperatures. Available in 28 oz, 5 gal pails or 50 gal drums by special order only.

Why we like it

Performs much like Liquid Nails but cures faster and has no odor. We used BuildSecure to attach 1" thick shelves to our tradeshow exhibit. Just for fun, we wanted to see how much weight they could support before breaking. We were unable to break a shelf off with our hands or feet, so we finally mounted it to the wall to try hanging on it. We were completely shocked when it supported each of us hanging (individually); after only an hour or so of drying, it supported our entire body weight! We now use it on just about anything.

Features & benefits

Multi-purpose — adheres to wood, concrete, sheetrock, masonry, metal, tile and more (except polyethylene, polypropylene, olefin and tpo--use our M-1 for that)
Quick-setting — cures in 30-35 minutes
Extremely strong — 500-600 psi shear strength, 550-650 psi tensile strength; replaces Liquid Nails
Fills gaps — does not shrink while forming bonds on uneven surfaces
Non-toxic — solvent-free
Low-odor — pleasant to use
Safe — for everyone, including the chemically sensitive; learn how to test a non-toxic product for tolerance
Eco-friendly — low VOC
Non-flamable — reduces fire hazard
