NIVELO Bonding Liquid is a concentrated PVA-based bonding agent formulated to dramatically improve adhesion of plaster, screed, tile adhesive, and coatings to smooth, non-porous, or previously painted surfaces. It creates a mechanical key on surfaces that would otherwise resist bonding, making it essential for renovation projects, skim-coat applications, and repairs.

How to Apply
Step-by-step application guide
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, and loose particles.
For bonding plaster or screed: dilute 1:1 with water and apply one coat. Allow to become tacky before applying plaster.
For improving paint adhesion: apply undiluted to smooth or glossy surfaces. Allow to dry fully before topcoating.
Allow minimum 2 hours drying time before applying topcoat in normal conditions.
