Gluing even at sub-zero temperatures
Gluing even at sub-zero temperatures
ESSTACK Nordic Pro is a strong, easy-to-use adhesive that is suitable for installation all year round – and it is even better in frost!
An adhesive made for tough conditions – ESSTACK Nordic Pro
Left your adhesive in the van overnight? And then in the frost it is hard to squeeze out of the cartridge, isn't it? You are not alone. In our Swedish survey of contractors, gluing in winter was named as one of the most common annoyances. On site visits we have seen you warming adhesive in a water bath before use so that it can be worked with. On one site we even saw a microwave with a sticker saying ‘ADHESIVE’ (we strongly advise against this method!).
We developed the formula of ESSTACK Nordic Pro precisely for such conditions. It is a construction adhesive that is easy to squeeze out of the cartridge even in the cold and cures even at a temperature of −15 °C. For contractors it is the ideal all-year-round adhesive, because you can also use it at temperatures up to +40 °C.
ESSTACK adhesives have long been popular with professionals because they stand up to every situation. They grab immediately, bond all materials, work indoors and outdoors, can be painted over and withstand very heavy loads once cured. Nordic Pro of course has all these properties too.

‘At last, a construction adhesive that does not mind the winter frost’
ESSTACK Nordic Pro bonds and cures even at a temperature of −15 °C, but it works just as well all year round – and Swedish carpenter Simon Södermark from Umeå has really come to love it.
At last, an adhesive that I can leave overnight in a cold van without worrying that it will freeze. Last winter, one of the coldest and snowiest in a long time, this adhesive became an indispensable part of my everyday work, says Simon.
ESSTACK Nordic Pro has quickly become a favourite with tradespeople all over Scandinavia.
As far as I know, no other adhesive comes out of the cartridge so easily after a winter night in the van. Last winter it withstood −25 °C and was still good to work with.
Simon says he uses ESSTACK Nordic Pro for more and more jobs, because in Umeå the nights are cold for many months of the year. Asked what he likes using it for most, he replies: basically everything you use adhesive for.
Because the adhesive is strong and at the same time hardens in a flash, I now use it for basically all interior work. I really have no reason to choose anything else.
And what about exterior work?
Last winter I fitted a lot of horizontal facade cladding. To make the joints tight, I chose Nordic Pro adhesive because it fills gaps and grabs and hardens immediately even at sub-zero temperatures.
This is why Simon chose ESSTACK Nordic Pro:
- It replaces most adhesives
- It is easy to squeeze out of the cartridge even after a cold night in the van
- A strong adhesive that hardens immediately on most materials
