HV'ART Advanced Adhesion Crosslinker is a high-performance additive designed to significantly improve the adhesion of primers on smooth, non-porous surfaces like glass. With its very slow-drying properties, it provides an extended working time for a flawless application, delivering a robust and durable cure after 24 hours. This product is ideal for professionals who require a strong, long-lasting bond on difficult substrates.
The HV'Art Advanced Additive Adhesion Crosslinker (HVCRADH 1%) is an optional additive that can be used to promote adhesion directly to glass, gold leaf, or other slick non-porous surfaces.
It can also be used to double-crosslink coatings already blended with HVCRHRD Hardener, to achieve optimum possible durability results.

Please refer to the relevant Technical Data Sheets and consult the HV’ART Contact Us Page for advice on suitable coating systems. Some wood species may exhibit discoloration due to natural extractives, which can be prevented by using an isolating sealer and mid-coat.
Ensure all external materials in contact with the coating system, such as putty, adhesive tapes, sealants, and cleaners, are tested for compatibility by the user to avoid any adverse reactions.
More Info
HV’ART Advanced Adhesion Crosslinker is a high-performance additive specifically engineered to enhance the adhesion of primers on challenging, smooth, and non-porous surfaces. Designed for use in primers, this specialized crosslinker creates an incredibly strong and durable bond, making it the ideal solution for applications on substrates such as glass.
This crosslinker is characterized by its very slow-drying properties, allowing for an extended working time to ensure a flawless application. While it remains workable for a prolonged period, it delivers a robust and reliable cure, reaching full hardness after 24 hours. The HV’ART Advanced Adhesion Crosslinker is the perfect choice for professionals seeking uncompromising adhesion and long-lasting durability, particularly when working with difficult substrates.
Areas of Use
HV’ART Advanced Adhesion Crosslinker is designed to be used as an additive in primers. It is recommended for applications on smooth, non-porous surfaces, particularly challenging substrates like glass. The product’s slow-drying nature provides ample time for a meticulous and flawless application before it begins to cure. For optimal results and a durable bond, allow the primer mixture to cure for 24 hours after application.
Prep & Application
Application
Add the HV’ART Advanced adhesion crosslinker by blending very well with a mechanical mixer. Use the product within 3 hours after adding the hardener. Do not use the remaining product after such a time. On application, the temperature of the product, the substrate, the coating and the working environment should never fall below 15°C.

Add the additive slowly and under mechanical mixing. When the crosslinker is used in coating systems with quick drying time, the quantity of product to be used must be decided after performing tests on the system and based on the user’s application.
Pre-Thinning Dosage:
5% by volume of base material, after pre-thinning (see below)
Thinning:
Dilute 1 part HVCRADH with 5 parts water immediately before use.
Application:
The coating mixture containing additive should be used immediately after preparation and used within 12 hours.
Double Cross-Linking:
In the case of using both additives, they shall be added one after the other following the above order, slowly and under constant stirring.
Drying:
- Recommended temperature – 20°C
- Relative humidity – 45-65%.
