FROM BONA Bona has announced the launch of Bona Quantum, a new silane-based adhesive that also acts as a moisture barrier.
This new generation adhesive features Bona’s Titanium Technology which provides quadruple crosslinking properties for superior durability, and quick bonding for faster installation.
Bona Quantum offers accelerated curing with a high initial bonding strength. On application, it’s hard elastic which allows the floor to acclimatise. Over time, the adhesive hardens and strengthens to provide a hard foundation. Floors installed with Bona Quantum can be walked on 4-6 hours after installation.
In line with the company’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, new Bona

Designer Contracts MD Peter Kelsey said: “With the Covid-19 crisis, many charities have faced the additional cost burden of transitioning to home working which in turn has impacted on their ability to deliver help. As existing supporters of ChildLine we wanted to lend our support to them at a difficult time so they could continue to provide counselling to those that need it most.
“We hope that our gesture to pay the equivalent of one day’s running costs – which took place on 1 May - will ease the burden a little, and help with the transition process, enabling volunteers and councillors to continue providing amazing support to hundreds of young people who call in every day. Their expertise is needed now more than ever.
