Pidilite Bulbond Xtra – Synthetic Resin Adhesive (Wood Glue)

Pidilite Bulbond Xtra: High-Strength Waterproof Wood Adhesive

Pidilite Bulbond Xtra is a premium, high-performance synthetic resin adhesive (PVA) engineered specifically for superior woodworking applications. It offers significantly enhanced strength and water resistance compared to standard wood glues, making it the ideal choice for assembling durable furniture, kitchen cabinets, and laminates that require maximum longevity.

This adhesive utilizes advanced polymer technology to create a strong, flexible bond that withstands natural wood expansion and contraction. Whether you are a professional carpenter or a dedicated DIY enthusiast, **Pidilite Bulbond Xtra** ensures your joints remain firm, even in areas subjected to high humidity and occasional moisture exposure.

Why Choose Pidilite Bulbond Xtra?

Bulbond Xtra goes beyond ordinary white glue (Fevicol SH) to deliver professional-grade results:

• Superior Bond Strength: Provides a robust, heavy-duty bond essential for load-bearing joints and structural furniture assembly.
• Enhanced Water Resistance: While not fully waterproof for continuous submersion, it resists moisture and humidity better than standard adhesives, making it ideal for bathroom and kitchen applications.
• Strong Laminate Bonding: Excellent for fixing laminates, veneers, and decorative sheets onto plywood and MDF without peeling or air bubbles.
• Smooth Application: Features a creamy, non-drip consistency that is easy to spread and sets quickly, speeding up assembly time.

Key Features of Pidilite Bulbond Xtra

• Synthetic Resin (PVA) Formula: Ensures a strong, permanent bond with quick initial grab.
• High Coverage: Spreads efficiently, offering good value and minimal wastage per square foot.
• Non-Staining: Dries to a clear, colorless film that does not stain or affect the finished look of the wood.
• Easy Clean-Up: Excess adhesive can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth before curing.

Recommended Application Areas

This high-strength adhesive is perfect for:

• Kitchen Cabinets: Bonding laminate to plywood, enduring steam and humidity.

How to Use Pidilite Bulbond Xtra for Maximum Durability

For best results, surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from oil or grease:

1. Preparation: Ensure the wood surfaces are accurately cut and fit perfectly. Lightly sand porous surfaces with sandpaper to remove dust.
2. Application: Apply a uniform, thin coat of Pidilite Bulbond Xtra to both bonding surfaces using a spreader or brush. Ensure 100% coverage for the strongest waterproof bond.
3. Assembly: Bring the surfaces together within 5-10 minutes (open time).
4. Clamping: Clamp the assembled joint firmly for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight). Correct clamping pressure is essential for maximum bond strength.
5. Curing: Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to achieve its maximum strength and water resistance before applying stress or machining.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is Bulbond Xtra better than standard Fevicol SH?
A: Yes, Bulbond Xtra is formulated for higher bond strength and has better water resistance, making it superior for permanent, demanding applications.

Q: How does this compare to Marine Grade Adhesive?
A: While it offers good water resistance for interiors, it is not a “Marine Grade” or fully waterproof adhesive (like Fevicol Marine) designed for continuous exposure to flowing water or submersion.

Q: Can I use this on metal?
A: No, this is a specialized wood adhesive. For metal, use an appropriate epoxy or polyurethane adhesive.
