Glue "Moment Gel": description and application
Transparent glue "Moment Gel Crystal" belongs to the contact type of fixing materials. In its manufacture, the manufacturer adds polyurethane ingredients to the composition and packs the resulting mixture into tubes (30 ml), cans (750 ml) and cans (10 liters). The density parameter of a substance changes in the range of 0.87–0.89 grams per cubic centimeter.
Positive aspects and features of the composition
The advantages of the manufactured glue are represented by the crystallization of the hardening seam, which improves the adhesion to the processed surface. With prolonged exposure to non-aggressive alkalis and acids, the maintenance properties of the applied composition are observed. Transparent universal adhesive "Moment Gel Crystal" resists the negative effects of negative temperatures and can be stored unhindered for up to two years.
The appearance of this possibility is generated by the temperature of the room, which varies from twenty degrees below zero to thirty degrees Celsius. If the heated air contains a small percentage of moisture, crystallization reactions are accelerated. Cold slows down the evaporation of solvents, prolonging the polymerisation period of the substance. The curing material forms a durable transparent film layer. It blocks the path of moisture trying to seep into the structure of the repaired product.
The time for complete hardening of the film coating reaches a maximum of three days, and the repaired product is allowed to be used one day after fixing the parts. The restoration of the original consistency and operational properties of the frozen mixture takes place at room temperature. The relatively high coefficient of bond strength specified by the manufacturer allows the repaired item to be immediately subjected to further processing operations.
It has mostly only positive reviews and a detailed description on the package. Available in containers of 30 ml and 125 ml.
Areas of use
Contact adhesive is used when it is required to quickly repair damaged items. Its substance is ideally combined with various types of plastic materials. It also glues porcelain, glass, ceramic, wood, metal, rubber surfaces.
Applied with careful following instructions, the substance tightly holds plexiglass, cork wood and foam sheets together.
It helps to splicate textiles, cardboard and paper canvases. The considered type of instant glue "Moment" is incompatible with polyethylene and polypropylene. Also, the composition is prohibited from glueing pieces of broken dishes intended for cooking and storing food.
Precautionary measures
Due to the presence of toxic components, experts recommend applying the adhesive in a very carefully ventilated or ventilated room. Fulfillment of this condition reduces the likelihood of poisoning the body by vapors accumulating in space. If the master ignores such precautions, when inhaling the evaporated ingredients, he has bouts of hallucinations, dizziness, vomiting, and nausea.
The contact of the material on the skin of the hands is prevented by putting on special gloves. Eyes must be covered with special glasses.In the absence of the listed means of protection, hands and eyes stained with glue are thoroughly washed with water.
Due to the low self-ignition temperature, the material must be kept away from open flame sources.
In between uses, the tube, can or canister with the substance should be tightly sealed. This will prevent crystallization, which will cause irreversible disappearance of the properties of the adhesive.
Using transparent glue "Moment Gel Crystal"
The instructions for using the adhesive mixture suggest freeing the parts of the restored product from adhering dirt, as well as completely eliminating the detected grease stains. Then it is necessary to treat the elements to be connected with contact glue and leave them for five or ten minutes at room temperature. After one hour, the process of forming a perfectly visible film begins. Bonding of porous materials forces an increased amount of material to be applied.
To improve the fixation ratio, it is recommended to apply the layer evenly on both parts of the object.
When the transparent waterproof glue "Moment Gel Crystal" stops sticking to the fingers, it is allowed to connect the surfaces to each other. Such an action is accompanied by the observance of the utmost care, since after the final hardening of the film, the possibility of safely correcting erroneous operations disappears.
The fixing surfaces of the repaired object are pressed against each other with a pressure, the minimum parameter of which exceeds 0.5 Newtons per square millimeter. The adhesion force decreases due to the appearance of voids filled with air masses. To prevent this trouble from occurring, the details of the object must be pressed firmly from the center to the edges. The latter are carefully fixed to each other in order to improve the reliability of fastening.
The last stages of work
Tools and surfaces are freed from the residues of the used substance with a tool intended for diluting paints and varnishes. Fresh stains of the transparent composition "Moment Gel Crystal" are eliminated with a cloth that has been pre-impregnated with gasoline. Dry stains are removed from the surface of textile fabrics by dry cleaning.
The rest of the compatible materials are treated with an effective paint stripper. All of the above information is based on information obtained after testing the adhesive composition.
Due to the existence of many ways and conditions of use, the purchased glue is recommended to be tested to achieve a positive result.
