Market Background

India’s construction and home improvement market has been expanding rapidly, driven by urbanization, residential renovation, and growing demand for faster installation methods. There is increasing interest in no-nail adhesive solutions that can replace mechanical fastening methods such as screws and nails.

For many Indian projects, especially interior installations and light-duty construction, ease of use and immediate holding strength are key decision factors. Adhesives that require long curing times, additional support, or complex application steps often reduce installation efficiency and increase labor costs. As a result, products offering high initial grip and simple application are gaining strong market acceptance.

Customer & Application Scenario

The customer is an Indian adhesive manufacturer want to produce no-nail adhesive for interior construction and home improvement applications. Typical use cases include fixing panels, trims, decorative elements, cable ducts, and lightweight fixtures on common substrates such as concrete, wood, metal, and painted surfaces.

Key application requirements included:

• High initial grip to reduce or eliminate temporary fixation
• Easy application with standard cartridges and manual tools
• Clean installation suitable for interior environments
• Reliable bonding to multiple substrates

The customer aimed to develop a user-friendly adhesive that could improve installation efficiency while maintaining dependable bonding performance.

Our Solution 

To meet these requirements, the customer adopted an STP-based no-nail adhesive formulation using Risun’s STP resin technology, designed to deliver strong initial grab combined with simple, intuitive application.

Key technical characteristics of the solution include:

• Polymer technology: STP (Silane-Terminated Polyether) polymer
• Initial grip: High initial grab, supporting immediate hold after application
• Application behavior: Easy extrusion and good tooling performance
• Curing mechanism: Moisture-curing under ambient conditions, SFT can reach within 15mins
• Interior suitability: Low odor and clean application

The STP-based system enabled fast build-up of green strength, allowing components to remain in position shortly after placement. At the same time, the elastic nature of the adhesive helped absorb stresses caused by minor substrate movement, improving long-term bonding reliability.

Customer Feedback

After market introduction, the customer reported strong acceptance from installers and distributors. Applicators highlighted the ease of use and the ability to complete installations without additional mechanical fixing or prolonged waiting times. The high initial grip was frequently cited as a key advantage in vertical and overhead applications.

From the manufacturer’s perspective, the STP-based formulation showed stable processing behavior and consistent quality. The product was well received in both professional installation and home improvement channels, where simplicity and immediate results are highly valued.

Summary

This case demonstrates how STP-based no-nail adhesive solutions with high initial grip can effectively meet the needs of the market. By leveraging Risun’s STP polymer technology, the customer successfully developed an adhesive that combines easy application and strong initial hold, and reliable elastic bonding. Risun’s solutions provide a practical and efficient alternative to mechanical fastening in modern interior construction and renovation projects.
