Gripfill – Solvent Free – Evostik

Evo-Stik Gripfill Solvent Free is a general-purpose construction adhesive designed for bonding most solid building materials quickly and cleanly. The solvent free formula makes it more practical in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces where traditional solvent-based grab adhesives would be a problem. If you’ve ever tried working with solvent-based adhesives in a small room or loft conversion, you’ll appreciate why that matters.

Gripfill is one of those products that most tradespeople have used at some point, and for good reason. It grabs fast, bonds to a wide range of surfaces, and it does the job without fuss. The 350ml cartridge fits a standard skeleton gun, so there’s no new equipment to buy and no learning curve to speak of.

What It Bonds

Evo-Stik solvent free Gripfill gives strong, durable adhesion to most solid building materials. It’s commonly used to fix plasterboard, skirting boards and architrave, and it also bonds stone, brick, concrete and both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This covers the majority of everyday fixing tasks on a domestic or commercial site.

It performs particularly well when bonding materials to masonry or concrete backgrounds where screws alone aren’t ideal fixing coving, panel mouldings, skirting boards and service conduit being the most common examples. The adhesive holds the component in place while it cures, reducing the need for temporary supports or excessive pinning.

Why Solvent Free Matters On Site

Solvent-based adhesives are effective but they come with practical downsides: strong fumes, fire risk in certain environments, and restrictions around use near food preparation areas or occupied spaces. The solvent free Gripfill formulation removes those concerns while maintaining the grab strength that made the original product well regarded in the trade.

It’s also a better choice when working around materials that could be affected by solvent contact some foam insulation boards, for example, can be damaged by solvent-based adhesives. The solvent free version avoids that risk entirely.

At 350ml per cartridge and available by the box of 12, this is a format that suits trade use well. A single cartridge covers a reasonable run of skirting or a decent area of board fixing, and buying in a box keeps the unit cost sensible across a full project.

Evo-Stik Gripfill has been a staple in the construction adhesive category for many years. The solvent free version maintains the performance characteristics that made the original product popular while making it more suitable for modern working environments, particularly where indoor air quality or occupied spaces are a consideration. It’s a practical, no-nonsense grab adhesive that earns its place in the van.
