EVO-STIK Evo-Bond PVA – 5L

Multi-Purpose Adhesive, Primer, Sealer & Dustproofer for Interior Use

EVO-STIK Evo-Bond PVA is a ready-to-use, general-purpose polyvinyl acetate (PVA) emulsion designed for a wide range of building applications. It serves as an effective adhesive, primer, admixture, sealer, and dustproofer, enhancing adhesion and surface integrity on various porous materials. Ideal for interior use in dry conditions, it improves workability and bond strength in plastering, rendering, and screeding tasks.

Key Features & Benefits

• Versatile Application: Functions as an adhesive, primer, sealer, and dustproofer
• Improves Adhesion: Enhances bond strength on porous surfaces prior to plastering or screeding
• Dustproofing: Seals and reduces dusting on concrete and plaster surfaces
• Ready to Use: No mixing required; can be applied by brush, roller, or spreader
• Interior Use: Suitable for dry service conditions; for damp or exterior applications, use EVO-STIK Waterproof PVA

Application Instructions

1. Ensure surfaces are sound, dry, clean, and free from grease, dust, and loose material.
2. Shake well before use.
3. Apply using a brush, roller, spreader, or squeezable plastic bottle.
4. For bonding applications, join surfaces while the adhesive is still wet or tacky.
5. For priming, allow the adhesive to dry before proceeding.

Usage Guidelines

• Primer: Dilute 1 part PVA to 5 parts water for porous surfaces; apply and allow to dry.
• Bonding Agent: Apply undiluted to non-porous surfaces; apply plaster or render while still tacky.
• Sealer: Dilute 1 part PVA to 5 parts water; apply 1 or 2 coats to reduce dusting on concrete or plaster surfaces.
• Adhesive: Apply undiluted to one surface; join surfaces immediately and clamp for at least 1 hour.

Limitations & Precautions

• Not suitable for exterior use or areas subject to constant moisture; use EVO-STIK Waterproof PVA for such applications.
• Do not use as a primer for paints.
• Not recommended for bonding two non-porous surfaces; use an appropriate contact adhesive in such cases.
• Not suitable for structural bonding or continuous load-bearing applications.

EVO-STIK Evo-Bond PVA offers a reliable and versatile solution for various interior building tasks, ensuring improved adhesion and surface preparation across a range of porous materials.
