DESCRIPTION
TECHNICAL
INFORMATION
ALCOLIN PERMOBOND is a superior-grade bonding agent, which dries clear, has
very good water resistance and is used in a wide variety of applications. It has the
correct pH balance to perform on both acidic and alkali surfaces.
APPLICATIONS
ALCOLIN PERMBOND is an additive that can be added to cement mixes to increase
tensile strength, resilience and adhesion. When added to concrete it provides a
waterproof, hard-wearing dust free surface. It can be used as a keying agent when
placing paint, plaster or concrete onto new or old surfaces.
ALCOLIN PERMOBOND is excellent for plastering, screeding, skimming and
patching. It acts as a sealer and waterproofing agent when applied to walls,
asbestos sheeting, bricks and wood. When PERMOBOND is added to GROUT and
CRACKFILLER it improves the strength, adhesion and water resistance.
ALCOLIN PERMOBOND can also be used as an adhesive for paper and cardboard,
and is ideal for bookbinding, as well as placing wallpaper.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
y Surface Preparation:
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free of dust and grease.
y Mixing:
See attached table for ALCOLIN PERMOBOND dilutions, according to the various
applications.
y Application:
Apply one coat and allow to dry (approx. 1 hour).
When plastering, apply a second coat, wait until tacky and then apply plastering
material.
• Cleaning:
Applicators can be cleaned with water, immediately after use.
• Storage:
Seal container tightly after use and store in a cool, dry place.
NOTE:
ALCOLIN PERMOBOND (in any dilution) should never be added to a cretestone
mixture.
When painting/keying a cretestone or powder floated surface apply 1 part ALCOLIN
PERMOBOND (diluted with 5 parts water). Never apply undiluted ALCOLIN
PERMOBOND to a cretestone or powder floated surface.
