The bachelor thesis is aimed at testing of the strength and water resistance of PVAC adhesives (grade D3). The goal was to verify the properties of various commercially available PVAC adhesives for which the manufacturers declared the grade D3. Eight PVAC adhesives from different manufacturers were tested. The test specimens were made according to EN 205: 2003. Subsequently they were tested according to EN 204: 2003. The shear strength was measured using the LabTest 4.050 (LaborTech). We found out the effect of water on the glued joints and the ability of the adhesives to regain strength after drying. Most of the adhesives have met the requirement for the D3 class.
