bonding agents for plaster and concrete
BONDING AGENTS FOR PLASTER, CONCRETE, AND GYPSUM
Bonding agents are crucial in ensuring the strength and durability of plaster, concrete, and gypsum applications.

Additionally, these agents act as a bridge between the substrate and the material being applied, creating a strong adhesion and preventing delamination or failure over time.

Furthermore, Sunanda Global's bonding agents can be used for interior and exterior applications. This versatility is essential for various construction projects, ranging from residential homes to commercial buildings, where different substrates and environmental conditions are encountered.

Bonding agents ensure strong adhesion and long-lasting performance in plaster, concrete, and gypsum applications.

By effectively bonding the materials to the substrate, these agents minimize the risk of failure, improve structural integrity, and contribute to the overall quality of the finished product.

Therefore, whether achieving a smooth and robust plaster finish, enhancing the bond between concrete surfaces, or optimizing gypsum-based systems, utilizing the appropriate bonding agent is essential for successful construction projects.
Bonding Agents for Plaster
For plaster applications, bonding agents are essential to improve the bond between the substrate and the plaster layer. Furthermore, they enhance the plaster's ability to adhere to surfaces, minimizing the risk of cracking or detachment. By promoting a secure bond, these agents contribute to plastered surfaces' longevity and structural integrity.

  • Check and ensure that the surface is tacky before application
  • Plaster the surface or place the concrete in the usual manner after setting the chat/dash coat
Bonding Agents for Concrete

In the realm of concrete, bonding agents are equally important. Specifically formulated to enhance the adhesion between new and existing concrete surfaces, these agents can bond fresh concrete to hardened concrete, ensuring a seamless transition and preventing the formation of weak points or joints. Additionally, bonding agents enhance the bond strength when applying overlays or repairs on existing concrete structures, resulting in a more robust and reliable outcome.
