At a Glance: Key Applications
Use Everbond Acrylic Bonding Agent for: Enhancing adhesion of renders and screeds, creating waterproof mortars, repairing concrete, and producing oil/chemical-resistant floor toppings.
Everbond Acrylic Bonding Agent: A Technical Overview
Everbond Acrylic Bonding Agent is a polymer-modified additive that dramatically improves the performance of sand/cement and gypsum mortars. It enhances bonding strength, reduces permeability, increases elasticity, and provides excellent resistance to abrasion and chemical attack. Formulated for high-traffic or moisture-prone environments, Everbond is ideal for renderings, floor screeds, and thin-section toppings. It can also be used for injection into minor cracks or fissures where minimal structural loading is expected.
Core Features & Specifications
- Doubles bond strength on concrete and steel substrates (1:1 mix ratio).
- Significantly improves abrasion and chemical resistance of screeds.
- Reduces water permeability, enhancing durability in wet zones.
- Non-corrosive to steel and suitable for damp or submerged areas.
- Non-flammable, solvent-free, and VOC-compliant formulation.
The Everbond Acrylic Bonding Agent Advantage
- Ensures high-strength bonding to difficult surfaces like insulation or aged concrete.
- Ideal for patching, rendering, and waterproofing screeds without shrinkage.
- Simplifies crack injection repairs in low-load areas.
- Increases longevity of floor toppings in heavy traffic or chemical exposure zones.
Frequently Asked Questions About Everbond Acrylic Bonding Agent
Q: Can I use Everbond to patch cracks in concrete?
A: Yes, Everbond can be injected into cracks and fissures where static loads are minimal. It enhances adhesion and creates a durable, moisture-resistant repair.
Q: What is the mix ratio for different strength requirements?
A: Use a 1:1 mix for maximum adhesion strength or 1:3 for general bonding applications. The 1:1 ratio significantly boosts adhesion on concrete and steel surfaces.
Q: Is it suitable for chemically aggressive environments?
A: Yes, Everbond improves chemical resistance, making it ideal for areas exposed to oils, industrial fluids, or sewage treatment plant environments.
Q: Can I use it for screeding over insulation boards?
A: Absolutely. Everbond enhances the bond of render and screed over insulation, preventing delamination and improving performance on non-porous materials.

Applying Everbond Acrylic Bonding Agent: Protocols & Best Practices
General Application Steps:- Preparation: Substrates should be clean, free from dust, oil, and contaminants. Roughen smooth surfaces for better grip.
- Mixing: Blend Everbond with water or cement slurry at specified ratios depending on required bond strength (1:1 or 1:3).
- Application: Apply bonding slurry evenly to prepared substrate. Lay mortar or screed while slurry is still tacky.
- Finishing: Tool surface as needed. For crack injection, inject Everbond mix into clean, dry cracks.
For Builders: High-Wear Stair Treads & Drains
The Engineering Challenge: Surface wear, delamination, and poor chemical resistance on steps and drains in public or industrial zones.
The System-Based Solution with Everbond: Enhances abrasion and chemical resistance in topping layers while preventing water ingress and reducing maintenance needs.
Best Practice Note: Use a 1:1 bonding mix and install while tacky. Add silica sand to screeds for anti-slip performance.
For Waterproofers: Damp-Proof Screeds in Bathrooms
The Engineering Challenge: Damp rising through floors and poor bond between screed and substrate causing bubbling.
The System-Based Solution with Everbond: Creates a water-resistant screed with improved adhesion, eliminating delamination in wet zones.
Best Practice Note: Apply Everbond bonding slurry directly to substrate before screeding. Protect from water exposure during early curing.
Limitations & Safety
Product limitations and safety information
Limitations:
- Not suitable for structural crack injection under dynamic loads.
- Application must be made while bonding slurry remains tacky—do not allow to dry.
- Avoid use below 5°C or on frozen substrates.
Safety & Handling:
- PPE: Gloves and eye protection recommended during handling.
- Ventilation: Use in well-ventilated areas.
- Handling: Avoid skin and eye contact. Wash exposed skin thoroughly.
- First Aid: Rinse affected areas with water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
