PVA Adhesive – Wood Glues, Sealers, and Surface Primers


PVA Adhesive includes a range of polyvinyl acetate-based bonding agents designed to fix, seal, and prime absorbent surfaces. These glues are favoured in woodworking, plastering, decorating, and craft sectors for their ease of use and strong adhesion on timber, concrete, textiles, and paper. Available in ready-to-use or concentrated forms, they are commonly used to seal dry or porous surfaces before further coatings are applied.

Trade professionals often rely on PVA to prepare walls for plastering, to improve bond strength for screeds or tile adhesives, and to reduce dust on old surfaces. Whether used in domestic refurbishments or site work, PVA adhesives offer a dependable first coat, grip enhancer, or woodworking glue. Fast-drying and safe for most interior jobs, they provide flexibility and consistent results when surface bonding is a critical requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions


Can PVA be mixed with cement or mortar?

Yes, some PVA adhesives can be added to mortar mixes to improve workability, adhesion, and flexibility - check product datasheets for compatibility.

Is PVA suitable for sealing dusty concrete floors?

Yes, diluted PVA can be applied to dusty concrete to seal the surface before applying levelling compounds or adhesives.

Can I use PVA adhesive externally?

Only use PVA outdoors if the product is labelled as waterproof or suitable for exterior use. Standard grades are not weather-resistant.

Will PVA adhesive prevent paint from peeling on old plaster?

Applied as a primer, PVA can help improve adhesion of paints and reduce flaking on dry or absorbent plaster, but must be fully dry first.
