Technical Overview
Everbond PVA GP is formulated for optimal performance in general woodworking applications. Its curing process is based on 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: Synthetic resin (polyvinyl acetate) emulsion. Non-toxic and non-flammable. Resistant to mould, bacteria, and fungi.
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.
