801 PVA Adhesive – universal polyvinyl acetate (PVA) adhesive for bonding porous materials such as wood, paper, cardboard, fabric, leather, and some types of plastic. Used in construction, repairs, woodworking, crafts, and model-making. Water-based adhesive, non-toxic, dries quickly, forms a transparent or semi-transparent bond. Suitable for indoor use, offers good adhesion and flexibility of joints. Manufacturer: Uzbekistan (likely; exact producer may vary).

Features

• Type: Polyvinyl acetate adhesive (PVA).
• Purpose: Bonding porous materials (wood, paper, cardboard, fabric, leather).
• Application: Manual application (brush, spatula, applicator).
• Weight: 0.85 kg.
• Consumption: ~100–200 g/m² (depends on material and layer thickness).
• Drying Time:
  • Initial set: 30–60 minutes.
  • Full drying: 6–24 hours (depends on temperature and humidity).
• Properties:
  • Non-toxic, safe for indoor use.
  • Forms a semi-transparent or transparent bond after drying.
  • Can be diluted with water to adjust viscosity.
  • Limited water resistance (standard PVA is not waterproof).
• Shelf Life: 12 months in a dry place at +5°C to +30°C.
• Application Temperature: +5°C to +30°C.

Advantages

• Easy application, convenient for household and professional use.
• Fast drying and strong bond on porous materials.
• Non-toxic, safe for children (e.g., in crafts).
• Easily washed off with water before drying.
• Affordable price, especially in the Uzbek market.

Application

• Bonding wood, plywood, MDF, and particleboard in woodworking.
• Crafts, paper crafts, cardboard work, decoupage.
• Fixing decorative elements (flock, grass, sand) in modeling.
• Used as a primer when diluted with water (e.g., walls before wallpapering).
• Limitations:
  • Not suitable for non-porous surfaces (metal, glass, PE/PP plastic).
  • Not recommended for outdoor use or humid environments without additional protection.
  • Limited ability to fill gaps (for this, epoxy or polyurethane adhesives are better).

Instructions

1. Preparation: Clean surfaces from dust, dirt, grease. Ensure they are dry.
2. Application: Apply adhesive in a thin layer using a brush, spatula, or applicator. For large surfaces, dilute with water (up to 5–10%).
3. Bonding: Press surfaces tightly together, slightly move for even adhesive distribution. Use clamps for a strong joint.
4. Cleaning: Remove excess adhesive with a damp cloth before drying.
5. Drying: Let the adhesive dry for 6–24 hours for full strength. Avoid loads during this time.
