Soudal PVA Adhesive, Sealer & Primer 5ltr

Soudal PVA Adhesive, Sealer & Primer 5ltr Product Description

Right, listen up. If you’re tackling any job around the home or on the site, big or small, you need a reliable workhorse, and that’s exactly what this is. We’re talking about the Soudal PVA Adhesive, Sealer & Primer 5ltr - a genuinely cracking piece of kit that no proper tradesperson or dedicated DIY enthusiast should be without.

Big Tub

This big, sturdy 5-litre tub is packed with a contractor-grade PVA solution that sorts out three of the most common challenges you face when working with construction materials: sticking things together, making surfaces ready for finishing, and sealing up dusty, flaking walls.

Jack of All trades

It’s often called the 'jack of all trades' of the building world, but the Soudal PVA is better than that - it’s the master of all three!

For instance, forget faffing about with three different products; this one tub does the lot, saving you time, space in the van, and a bit of precious cash in the process.

Large Coverage

In fact, the 5Ltr size is particularly brilliant, offering you massive coverage and value, and making sure you are not running back to the merchants halfway through a big plastering job or while sealing an entire garage floor.

It’s reliable, robust, and manufactured to a high standard, meaning when you use Soudal, the job’s going to be spot on.

The Three Pillars of PVA Excellence

What makes this product so indispensable is its genuine three-way functionality.

Let’s break down exactly what the Soudal PVA Adhesive, Sealer & Primer 5ltr can do for you for instance.

As a High-Strength Adhesive (The Bond)

First and foremost, this is a top-tier adhesive.

When you use it straight out of the tub (or ‘neat,’ as we say), it creates an incredibly strong bond.

Ideal for many applications

For instance, it’s ideal for general-purpose tasks like sticking together porous materials.

So, think about those minor repairs: bonding wood to wood, paper to plasterboard, cardboard crafts, or even joining chipboard.

Dries Clear

It dries clear, which is a massive bonus if a little bit squishes out of the joint, and the bond is flexible yet strong, resisting cracking over time.

High Adhesive Strength

Crucially, in the construction world, its adhesive strength comes into its own as a bonding agent for cement and plaster mixes.

So, if you are patching up an old concrete floor or rendering a wall, adding a bit of Soudal PVA to your mix can significantly improve the final result.

Helps New Material Stick

It also helps the new material stick properly to the old substrate, reducing the risk of it flaking or cracking away later down the line as a result.

Due to this, it also makes the mix stickier, more workable, and ultimately, far more durable.

As a Powerful Sealer (The Barrier)

The second crucial job of the Soudal PVA is sealing.

Now, sealing is often overlooked, but it is one of the most important steps in preparing a surface.

For instance, many walls, especially older plaster or masonry, are incredibly porous - a bit like a big sponge.

So, if you try to paint directly onto a porous wall or stick wallpaper to it, the surface will greedily suck all the moisture out of your paint or adhesive before it has a chance to cure properly.

The result? A patchy finish, or worse, your new wallpaper or plaster falling off the wall.

Can be Diluted and Applied

This is where the Soudal PVA Sealer steps in, as when it is diluted and applied liberally, it soaks into those porous surfaces - like interior walls, cement board, or concrete - and forms a thin, tough, non-porous barrier.

This barrier then stops the surface from absorbing moisture, making sure your final decorative layers (paint, paper, or plaster) dry and cure correctly, giving you a perfect, professional finish every time.

It’s the essential step to guarantee adhesion and a uniform look.

As an Essential Primer (The Preparation)

Finally, this product works brilliantly as a primer.

Priming means preparing the surface for what’s coming next, and this goes hand-in-hand with sealing, particularly when dealing with dusty or slightly flaky surfaces.

So, if you have a wall that’s shedding a bit of dust, you can’t just plaster over it; the dust will act like a separation layer, and the plaster will fail.

Binds Loose Dust Particles

The Soudal PVA Primer also does a fantastic job of binding those loose dust particles together and ‘fixing’ the surface.

So much so that it essentially glues the microscopic dust and loose material down, creating a clean, sound base for your subsequent application.

Improves Key Gripping

It also improves the 'key' (the grip) between the old surface and the new material, which is absolutely needed when applying new plaster to an old wall or floor screed to a concrete slab.

So, if you are tackling any job involving concrete, mortar, or plaster, this Soudal PVA is the ideal first coat to ensure superior adhesion to the substrate.

Getting Stuck In, with Practical Applications

The 5ltr size of this Contractors grade PVA means it’s perfect for larger domestic projects and professional site work.

Here are a few common jobs where this tub will prove its worth:

Plastering Preparation

This is perhaps the most common use. Before applying a new skim coat of plaster onto old plasterboard or a repaired wall, dilute the PVA (often 1 part PVA to 3 or 5 parts water - always test a small patch first!) and brush it onto the wall.

This primes the surface, stops the wall from sucking the moisture out of the plaster, and gives the skim coat maximum grip.

Sealing Concrete Floors

Before you lay tiles, paint, or apply a self-levelling compound on a concrete floor, a diluted coat of Soudal PVA will seal the surface, prevent dust lift, and improve the bond for the new floor covering.

Mortar Admixture

When repairing brickwork or setting coping stones, adding a small amount of neat PVA to the mortar mix can boost its overall strength, elasticity, and adhesion.

Wallpaper Sizing

A highly diluted PVA solution can be applied to walls before hanging wallpaper.

This is often called ‘sizing’ and it helps the wallpaper slide into position easily, prevents the paste from soaking in too quickly, and ensures a solid, long-lasting bond.

Simple Application Guide, No Fuss, Just Results

One of the best things about the Soudal PVA Adhesive, Sealer & Primer 5ltr is how easy it is to use.

It’s water-based, low-odour, and cleaning up is a doddle—just warm water will do the trick while it’s still wet.

Preparation is Key

Before you start, make sure your surface is clean, dry, and free of any large debris or grease.

Then any loose paint or truly flaky material should be scraped off.

Using it Neat (As an Adhesive or Bonding Agent)

For bonding: Apply a thin, even coat to one or both surfaces.

Press together firmly and wipe away any excess. Clamp or support the materials until fully dry.

For an Admixture: Stir a small, measured amount directly into your cement or plaster mix until it achieves the desired consistency.

Using it Diluted (As a Sealer or Primer)

The exact dilution ratio depends on the absorbency of the surface, but a good starting point for general sealing and priming is 1 part PVA to 4 parts water.

Here you want to mix thoroughly in a separate clean bucket and then apply with a brush, roller, or even a low-pressure sprayer, ensuring an even and generous coverage.

The aim is for the solution to soak in fully. Allow the primed surface to dry fully before applying the next material (plaster, paint, etc.).

Drying time is usually quick - often just a couple of hours - but always allow for temperature and humidity. A damp or cold day might take a bit longer, so be patient!
