Product Overview
Knauf Plasterboard Adhesive Bonding Compound in a 25kg bag is a gypsum-based adhesive formulated for fixing plasterboard directly to masonry substrates such as brick, block, or concrete.
Designed for use with the dot-and-dab method, it provides a reliable bond designed for secure, durable wall and partition installations when applied in accordance with guidance.
The adhesive offers excellent workability, allowing controlled application and adjustment during fixing. Once set, it creates a stable, secure bond that supports the plasterboard for finishing with skim coats or decoration.
