Alphachem PVA Bond 5 Litre Sealer Adhesive Additive

MPN: X3PVA5

Barcode: 5036684001786

This PVA-based solution serves as a multi-purpose bonding agent, primer, sealer, and admixture for construction and renovation tasks.

Who This Product Is For

This product is designed for construction professionals, tradespeople, and experienced home renovators working on building projects. It suits those who need a versatile bonding and preparation solution for various surfaces.

It is appropriate for jobs involving plastering, tiling, cement work, and surface preparation where improved adhesion, reduced porosity, or enhanced flexibility is required.

Key Features

• Multi-Surface Compatibility: Suitable for use on concrete, steel, glass, tiles, and other surfaces.
• Improved Flexibility: Enhances sand-cement products, making them more resilient during application and curing.
• Reduced Porosity: Minimises surface porosity in mortars and plasters, improving finish quality.
• Enhanced Frost Resistance: Provides added protection against frost damage for outdoor cement and plasterwork.
• Application Versatility: Can be used as an adhesive, primer, sealer, or admixture.

Key Benefits

• Simplifies preparation and bonding tasks.
• Offers adhesion and durability for project outcomes.
• Reduces material waste by allowing thinner application layers.
• Protects surfaces from dusting, flaking, and environmental wear.

Practical Applications

The Alphachem PVA Bond 5 Litre Sealer Adhesive Additive is used in various scenarios:

• Prime surfaces before plastering or painting to create a stable base.
• Seal porous walls and ceilings prior to tiling or papering.
• Enhance the strength and flexibility of cement and plaster mixes.
• Bond wooden materials or textiles effectively for interior applications.
• Reduce dusting and flaking on deteriorating paintwork and surfaces.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This product is typically used during the surface preparation phase before applying finishes. It creates a stable base layer that improves the performance and adhesion of subsequent materials like plaster, paint, or tiles.

In mixing applications, it is added to cement or plaster at the beginning of the preparation process to modify the material properties before application to the work surface.

How to Use

1. Surface Preparation:
   • Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from debris or dust.
2. Adhesive Application:
   • Apply the solution neat onto both surfaces, press firmly together, and leave undisturbed for 24 hours.
3. Plaster Bonding:
   • Prime the area with a mix of 1 part PVA to 2 parts water, allowing it to dry completely.
   • Apply a bonding coat (same ratio) and work while still tacky.
   • Use a plastering trowel to apply and finish the bonding coat.
4. Cement Admixture:
   • Mix 1 litre of the solution per 5kg of cement to enhance performance.
5. Sealing/Priming:
   • Dilute 1 part PVA with up to 3 parts water, depending on surface porosity. Apply evenly with a brush.

• Product FAQs

  Q: What surfaces can this product bond to?
  A: It bonds effectively to porous materials such as wood, cork, and textiles, as well as dense substrates like glass, steel, and concrete.
  Q: Can this product be used outdoors?
  A: No, this product is not suitable for external applications. For outdoor use, consider SBR Bond instead.
  Q: How do I dilute the product for priming surfaces?
  A: Mix one part PVA with up to three parts water, adjusting based on the surface’s porosity. Apply evenly until the surface no longer absorbs the solution.
  Q: Is it safe to use this product for flooring applications?
  A: Yes, it can be used as an admixture or primer to improve adhesion and reduce porosity in flooring materials like screed and concrete.
  Q: Does it require special equipment for application?
  A: No, depending on the intended use, it can be applied using standard brushes, rollers, or mixing tools.
  Q: What precautions should I take when using this product?
  A: Avoid using it on external surfaces or areas exposed to moisture. Before using it, always consult the technical data sheet for detailed guidance.
