EVERBUILD® PLUMBERS GOLD®

All purpose adhesive and sealant for the plumbing professional

Specially formulated for the plumbing professional, EVERBUILD® PLUMBERS GOLD® is a new type of sealant and adhesive based on STP polymer technology that offers outstanding adhesion to sanitary, bathroom, wetroom, kitchen and plumbing materials such as hard plastics, acrylics, fiberglass, ceramics, glass, marble, granite, aluminum, mirrors, metals etc. EVERBUILD® PLUMBERS GOLD® can be applied to wet surfaces, will even work underwater, and contains Mould Shield®, proven to protect against black mould on the sealant for 5 years. Full independent test reports for 5 year (accelerated ageing) anti-fungal resistance are available on request.

  • Excellent primerless adhesion to most common bathroom substrates including metals, plastics usch as polyester, perspex, glass, concrete, plaster, plasterboard, wood, enamel, painted surfaces, etc.
  • High bonding strength, yet flexible enough to cope with common sealing applications.
  • Interior and exterior use.
  • Can be applied to wet surfaces and underwater!
  • Waterproof & weatherproof.
  • Powerful anti-fungal action prevents mould growth on sealant – tested for 5 years (accelerated ageing)!
  • Permanently flexible - 20% movement accommodation.
  • Resistant to chemicals & petrol (10% dilute acids/alkalis, most solvents).
  • Excellent primerless adhesion to most surfaces.
  • Certified to EN15651 Façade for interior, exterior and cold climate applications and for sanitary applications.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Cut the tip of the cartridge taking care not to damage the thread. Fix nozzle, cut aperture to required width and apply with a standard sealant gun.

As an adhesive

  • Surfaces must be clean and free from dust, grease, loose material, etc.
  • Priming is not normally necessary, however, prime dusty surfaces with EVERBUILD® PVA BOND diluted 1:4 with water and allow to dry.
  • Apply using a standard sealant gun, cut tip of cartridge, apply nozzle and cut an opening to suit the required bead size.
  • For bonding heavy items (plasterboard/worktops/wall panels etc) apply adhesive all the way around the edge of the item (30-50mm from edge) and cover back with beads of adhesive at 300mm intervals. Alternatively, apply adhesive direct to battens and press into place.
  • NOTE: With heavy items, always provide temporary support until the adhesive dries.
  • For bonding lightweight items apply adhesive to back of item in one or two continuous beads and press immediately into place.
  • Where gap filling is required, mark the areas where there is a large gap and apply a thicker bead to these areas.
  • In all cases, clean up excess adhesive immediately with a cloth/white spirits

As a sealant        

The recommended joint ratios are twice width of depth.  If necessary reduce joint depth using Everflex® Expanding Foam, or Joint backer rod. Furthermore, ensure that the joint design only permits adhesion to two surfaces, as three-sided adhesion will impair flexibility.

Where the sealant is used in a joint configuration, masking tape should be used to prevent contamination of adjacent substrates, and ensure a neat sealing line. Masking tape should be removed immediately after tooling. The joint should be tooled within 15 minutes of application to ensure good contact between the sealant and the substrate. Tooling of the sealant also gives a smooth, professional finish.

Fixing mirrors

Apply 6mm diameter beads of sealant direct to back of mirror in vertical strips, spaced at 30-40mm centers. Immediately place mirror in position and secure with good, even pressure with a slight twist action. Provide temporary support (tape) until adhesive has dried (24-48 hours). If required, EVERBUILD® PLUMBERS GOLD® may also be used to seal around mirror 24 hours after fixing (to allow for cure)

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Uncured material can be removed by wiping with a dampened cloth with white spirit.  Cured material can be carefully removed by mechanical means.
