Bond It Contractors PVA 25ltr

Contractors PVA 25ltr is an all-purpose, contractors-grade Vinyl Acetate Homopolymer adhesive, primer and sealer engineered for the building and plastering trades. Conforming to BS 5270, this 25-litre drum delivers a rapid-drying, high-strength bond to the widest range of common construction substrates — making it the go-to bulk PVA for plasterers, renderers and site contractors across the UK.
