Key Features of Everbond PVA Xlink 3

  • Water Resistant: Provides excellent resistance to moisture, ideal for applications requiring water protection.
  • Self-Crosslinking Formulation: Simplifies application with a single-component adhesive.
  • Conforms to AS 2754.2 & EN 204: Meets stringent Australian and European standards for water-resistant wood adhesives.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for dowelling, laminating, and general woodworking.
  • Thermo-Curing Option: Enhances water resistance and speeds up curing with Catalyst Number 1.

Technical Overview

Everbond PVA Xlink 3 cures by water dissipation and crosslinking, achieving a firm, water-resistant bond. The adhesive interphase reaches moisture equilibrium in approximately seven days, depending on environmental factors. Thermo-curing with a catalyst can accelerate curing and enhance water resistance. The viscosity of 9300-13500 cP ensures consistent application.

Chemical Properties: Water-borne synthetic resin with self-crosslinking properties. Conforms to AS 2754.2 1991 and EN 204.

Application Temperature Range: Minimum application temperature of 8°C (46.4°F). Ensure ambient and surface temperatures are within the recommended range for optimal bonding. Ideal timber moisture content is 8-12%.

Application Information

  • Required Tools: Brushes, rollers, glue baths, clamps, and cleaning cloths.
  • Trade-Specific Tips: Ensure surfaces are clean and properly prepared. Follow specific pressing times for different applications. For enhanced water resistance, use thermo-curing with Catalyst Number 1. Clean tools with water before the adhesive dries.
  • Common Issues and Solutions: If the bond is weak, ensure proper surface preparation and clamping pressure. For uneven application, use a roller or brush for even coverage.

Storage and Shelf Life

  • Storage Requirements: Store indoors under ambient conditions between 10°C and 30°C (50°F and 86°F). Keep containers closed when not in use.
  • Shelf Life Information: 6 months in original packaging.
  • Temperature Considerations: Avoid extreme temperatures to maintain product integrity.

Certifications

  • AS 2754.2 1991: Australian Standard for water-resistant wood adhesives.
  • EN 204: European Standard for water-resistant wood adhesives.
Common Questions  

Frequently Asked Questions About Everbond PVA Xlink 3

Q: How does this adhesive achieve water resistance?

A: Everbond PVA Xlink 3 is formulated with self-crosslinking properties, creating a water-resistant bond as it cures through water dissipation. Thermo-curing with Catalyst Number 1 further enhances this resistance.

Q: What are the benefits of conforming to AS 2754.2 and EN 204?

A: Conforming to these standards ensures the adhesive meets stringent requirements for water resistance and bond strength, providing reliable performance in demanding applications.

Q: How should I clean up excess adhesive?

A: Use water to clean tools and surfaces before the adhesive dries. Dried adhesive must be removed mechanically.

Q: What is the ideal moisture content for timber when using this adhesive?

A: The ideal timber moisture content is 8-12%.

Q: What safety precautions should I take?

A: Refer to the SDS before handling the product. While not classified as hazardous, skin irritation may occur in sensitive individuals. Wear appropriate PPE and ensure adequate ventilation.

Q: What is thermo-curing and how is it done?

A: Thermo-curing involves adding Catalyst Number 1 at a rate of 1% w/w and applying heat. A recommended cycle is 30 seconds at 80°C and 30 seconds at 130°C. This enhances water resistance and speeds up curing.
