Make plasterboard installation quicker, cleaner and more convenient with the Soudal Soudafoam Plasterboard Adhesive Foam Kit 5-in-1, a practical all-in-one solution for professional tradespeople and DIY projects.
Containing five cans of fast-curing polyurethane adhesive foam, a reusable applicator gun and a foam cleaner, this kit provides the essential products needed for efficient plasterboard bonding without traditional mortar-based adhesives.
Forget about carrying heavy bags of bonding compound, mixing powders or cleaning buckets and mixing tools after the job.
The ready-to-use adhesive applies directly from the can using the supplied gun, helping reduce preparation time, mess and unnecessary waste.
Each adhesive can provides coverage of up to 14 m², giving the five-can kit a potential total coverage of up to 70 m² under suitable application conditions.
This makes it particularly convenient for larger dry lining projects, room renovations and jobs involving multiple plasterboard panels.
The fast-curing formula provides excellent initial adhesion, allowing work to continue approximately one hour after application under suitable conditions.
Its low-expansion properties help maintain accurate board positioning, while the stable foam consistency makes it particularly useful for vertical wall applications.
Beyond plasterboard, the adhesive can be used with a wide range of compatible building materials, including insulation boards, brickwork, concrete, plaster, timber, MDF and other suitable surfaces.
The supplied applicator gun allows controlled bead application, helping you place adhesive precisely where needed and manage consumption throughout the job.
Once finished, the included foam cleaner helps remove uncured adhesive from the applicator gun, keeping it ready for future use.
Whether you're dry lining walls, fitting insulation panels or carrying out renovation work, the Soudal Soudafoam Plasterboard Adhesive Foam Kit offers a convenient, time-saving alternative to conventional plasterboard bonding methods.

How to Use Soudal Plasterboard Adhesive Foam
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean and free from dust, grease and loose material.
- Wear Protection: Use suitable gloves and safety goggles, and ensure adequate ventilation.
- Dampen if Required: Lightly mist suitable surfaces with water to help improve adhesion and curing.
- Shake the Can: Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds before use.
- Attach the Gun: Screw the adhesive can securely onto the supplied applicator gun following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Apply the Adhesive: Apply beads approximately 3 cm from the edges of the plasterboard, followed by a zig-zag pattern across the centre.
- Allow Initial Activation: Wait approximately 5 minutes, or as directed, before positioning the board.
- Position the Board: Press the plasterboard firmly against the prepared surface and support it as necessary.
- Allow to Cure: Leave the adhesive undisturbed and allow sufficient curing time before proceeding with further work.
- Clean the Applicator: Use the supplied foam cleaner to remove uncured adhesive from the gun according to the cleaning instructions.
Always follow the instructions provided with the adhesive, applicator gun and cleaner, including the manufacturer's guidance on curing times, surface compatibility and safe handling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this kit suitable for large plasterboard installation projects?
Yes, the kit is particularly convenient for larger plasterboard installations because it includes five adhesive foam cans and the equipment needed for application.
Each can can cover up to 14 m², giving a potential total coverage of approximately 70 m² under suitable conditions.
Actual coverage depends on the application pattern, surface condition and amount of adhesive required.
For uneven walls or jobs requiring thicker adhesive beads, allow for additional material when planning your project.
Can I use the adhesive on painted or previously plastered walls?
The adhesive may bond to suitable plastered or painted surfaces, provided they are sound, stable, clean and compatible with polyurethane foam adhesive.
However, loose paint, flaking plaster, dust or weak surface coatings can prevent a reliable bond.
Any deteriorating material should be removed and the surface properly prepared before installation.
For painted, sealed or uncertain substrates, test adhesion in an inconspicuous area and follow Soudal's technical guidance.
Do I need to support plasterboard while the adhesive cures?
Plasterboard should be firmly positioned against the substrate and supported where necessary until the adhesive has developed sufficient strength.
Although the foam provides strong initial adhesion, the board should not be disturbed or subjected to additional loads before adequate curing.
Support requirements may vary depending on the size and weight of the board, wall condition and installation method.
Always follow the manufacturer's fixing instructions and the requirements of the plasterboard system being installed.
Can I leave an adhesive can attached to the applicator gun between jobs?
Gun-grade polyurethane foam systems can often be stored temporarily with a compatible can attached, provided the gun remains properly sealed and the manufacturer's storage instructions are followed.
However, prolonged storage or incorrect handling can allow adhesive to cure inside the applicator and cause blockages.
For longer breaks or when changing products, follow the supplied gun maintenance instructions and use the appropriate cleaner where required.
Never force a blocked applicator or attempt to clean cured foam with unsuitable solvents.
What is the best way to clean the applicator gun after use?
The included foam cleaner is designed to help remove uncured polyurethane foam from the applicator gun and suitable affected surfaces.
After finishing work, remove the adhesive can and connect the cleaner according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Flush the gun as directed until the remaining uncured foam has been cleared from the mechanism.
Once polyurethane foam has fully cured, it is much more difficult to remove and may cause permanent blockage or damage to the applicator.
The cleaner contains chemicals that require careful handling, so always follow the safety instructions and use it in a well-ventilated area.
