Fevicol Hi-Per – Anti-Bubble Waterproof Adhesive

Fevicol Hi-Per (Anti-Bubble Adhesive): The Ultimate Solution for Laminate Bonding

Fevicol Hi-Per is a high-performance synthetic rubber-based adhesive specifically engineered to solve the most common problem in laminate application: bubbling and uneven sticking, especially on vertical surfaces. This innovative, fast-grabbing adhesive eliminates air entrapment, ensuring a flawless, smooth finish when bonding decorative laminates, veneers, and rigid plastics to wood or plywood substrates.

Trusted by carpenters for high-end furniture and demanding interior projects, Fevicol Hi-Per provides a reliable, strong, and permanent bond. It is the professional choice for achieving a smooth, bubble-free surface, even when working with large laminate sheets.

Why Choose Fevicol Hi-Per Anti-Bubble Adhesive?

While standard adhesives may struggle with air entrapment and vertical application, Fevicol Hi-Per offers superior control:

• Anti-Bubble Technology: The formula is designed to allow trapped air to escape during the bonding process, resulting in a perfectly flat surface free of unsightly bubbles and lifts.
• Hi-Grab (High Initial Tack): Provides exceptional initial holding power, which is crucial for vertical applications like cabinet facades and wall panels. This reduces the risk of slippage.
• Excellent Heat Resistance: Withstands higher temperatures than standard contact adhesives, making it ideal for use in kitchen cabinets and sun-exposed furniture.
• Strong Permanent Bond: Creates a long-lasting, durable bond on wood, plywood, laminates, and veneers.

Key Features of Fevicol Hi-Per

• Synthetic Rubber Base: Solvent-based contact adhesive ensuring quick drying and high grab strength.
• Clear/Brown Colour: Available in colours that blend well with most substrates.
• High Coverage: Offers efficient spreadability for economical use.
• Easy to Apply: Can be applied manually using a spatula or roller, or via spray application.

Recommended Application Areas

This laminate adhesive is essential for:

• Vertical Applications: Bonding laminates to tall wardrobe doors, pillars, and wall paneling.
• Kitchen Cabinets & Furniture: Ensuring a flat, flawless finish on laminate surfaces prone to heat and handling.
• Veneer Work: Securing delicate veneers to wooden substrates with minimal risk of lifting.
• Bonding Rigid Plastics: Securing PVC or hard plastic sheets to wood.

How to Use Fevicol Hi-Per for a Bubble-Free Finish

Achieving a bubble-free bond requires careful application and contact pressure.

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure both surfaces (laminate and substrate) are clean, dry, and free from oil or dust. Light sanding of the substrate is recommended.
2. Application: Apply a thin, uniform coat of Fevicol Hi-Per to *both* surfaces using a spatula or brush. Ensure full, even coverage.
3. Drying (Tack Time): Allow the adhesive on both surfaces to dry completely (become ‘tacky’ to the touch). This usually takes 10-15 minutes, depending on the temperature.
4. Bonding: Carefully align the laminate and bring the surfaces together. Once contact is made, immediate, permanent bonding occurs.
5. Pressure: Apply heavy pressure across the entire surface using a hand roller or rubber mallet, working from the center outwards to push out any residual air and ensure full contact. Watch techniques for laminate application to avoid bubbles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is Fevicol Hi-Per suitable for general wood bonding?
A: It is designed for laminates/veneers. For pure wood-to-wood structural bonding, a PVA glue like Fevicol SH is preferred.

Q: What should I use to clean up Hi-Per?
A: Since it is a solvent-based adhesive, wet excess glue should be cleaned with paint thinner or mineral turpentine oil (MTO).

Q: Does Hi-Per work on all plastics?
A: It works well on rigid plastics and decorative laminates, but users should test adhesion on soft or flexible plastics before full application.
