SONOBOND — General-Purpose Adhesive for SONOTIZ Insulation Systems
SONOBOND Overview – Versatile Adhesive for Thermal and Acoustic Systems
SONOBOND is a solvent-based, high-adhesion construction adhesive developed specifically for use with SONOTIZ soundproofing and thermal insulation products. Its formula ensures reliable and permanent bonding of insulation mats — such as SONOTIZ BLOCK, ATA, ATA+, and THERMAL — to a wide range of construction substrates including concrete, masonry, plasterboard, and metal structures.
This adhesive is essential when installing heavy or multilayer insulation systems where mechanical stability is critical. SONOBOND speeds up installation, reduces the need for mechanical fixings in some configurations, and guarantees long-term acoustic performance by eliminating air gaps and weak spots in the system.
Key Advantages of SONOBOND Adhesive
- Strong Bonding Strength: Ensures secure adhesion between insulation layers and structural substrates like concrete or brick.
- Solvent-Based Composition: Fast-setting formulation that improves productivity during large installations.
- Long-Term Durability: Maintains bonding strength for years, even in demanding acoustic and thermal environments.
- Multi-Surface Compatibility: Suitable for bonding mineral wool, fiberglass mats, reflective foils, and foam-based insulators.
- Easy Application: Can be applied using a trowel, spatula, or notched blade. No mixing or additional components required.
- Installation Flexibility: Allows limited repositioning during early curing phase before final setting.
- Freeze-Sensitive: Ideal for indoor use or protected environments to ensure optimal curing.
Where to Use SONOBOND Adhesive
SONOBOND is designed for various installation scenarios, particularly in acoustic and thermal systems that rely on uninterrupted contact between layers. It is especially recommended for:
- Wall and ceiling bonding of SONOTIZ BLOCK panels
- Adhering SONOTIZ ATA mats in roof and ceiling assemblies
- Fixing SONOTIZ THERMAL multilayer systems onto drywall or concrete
- Bonding fiberglass layers to mineral boards or gypsum
- Supplementing mechanical fixings in sound insulation assemblies
SONOBOND is commonly used in:
- Apartments and office buildings
- Technical rooms and industrial spaces
- Recording studios and media spaces
- HVAC zones where insulation must be securely fixed

SONOBOND Installation Guidelines
For best results:
1.
Surface Preparation
Ensure the substrate is dry, dust-free, and free of grease or oil. Rough surfaces help improve adhesion.
2.
Application
Spread the adhesive evenly across the surface using a trowel or notched blade. Apply pressure to the insulation mat when placing it to ensure full contact with the substrate.
3.
Adjustments
You may reposition insulation panels within 5–10 minutes of application before the adhesive begins to set.
4.
Drying & Curing
Allow 24–48 hours for full curing depending on room conditions. Avoid strong mechanical load or vibration during the first day.
5.
Combination with Fixings
For heavy materials like SONOTIZ BLOCK, it is recommended to combine SONOBOND with dowels or mechanical anchors for additional security.
Safety, Storage & Transport
- Ventilation required during application to avoid inhalation of solvent vapors.
- Store in original sealed container in a cool, dry, and ventilated space.
- Avoid freezing and direct exposure to sunlight.
- Use protective gloves and avoid prolonged skin contact.
Refer to the SONOBOND Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full health and safety instructions.
