Peculiarities
This product has won its great popularity due to its excellent characteristics and high durability. This glue is produced in Germany by Rema Tip Top. This product has been known on the Ukrainian market for several decades and has earned only the most positive reviews during this time. Type Top offers a wide range of substances that are used in various fields, from heavy production to the food industry.
The sc 2000 mortar is most often used for connecting and repairing conveyor belts by vulcanization, and is also good for lining rollers and drums. This substance is suitable for creating a protective coating that is excellent for increasing wear resistance and reducing the chance of corrosion on industrial equipment. Such connections are much better than mechanical ones, as they create an even distribution of stress over the entire plane of the parts. All this contributes to an increase in the duration of the equipment life.
glue type top
The mix Type Top sc 2000 contains only two components. It is excellent for use in mechanisms that are constantly subjected to significant stress. Most often it is used for rubber-to-metal, rubber-to-rubber, fabric-to-fabric, concrete-to-rubber and rubber-to-fabric connections.
Additional properties
It is important to take into account that the application of glue can be carried out on a plastered surface and a cement screed, after the formation of each of which 28 days have passed. As for concrete foundations, you can start work on such surfaces 90 days after the completion of work.
In order not to encounter problems during operation, you should not start manipulating the finishing of deforming bases. This adhesive is also incompatible with products whose water absorption is less than 1%. If there is a need to lay tiles in rooms with high humidity, as for showers and bathrooms, the Ceresit CM 11 adhesive mixture, the technical characteristics of which are presented in the article, can be used only if the humidity rises periodically, as well as the presence of intensive ventilation. It is important to properly prepare bases that have large gaps and potholes. The craftsman should repair and level the surface using plaster or mineral filler.
Composition and properties
The ratio of epoxy and polyamide resins in the composition of VK-9 is 1: 2, in mass units - 60:40. Visually - a gray, viscous mass. Additional components - organosilicon compounds and mineral inclusions:
- asbestos;
- boron nitride;
- titanium dioxide.
The compositional composition hardens at a temperature of +20 degrees. Heating the components during mixing until they boil leads to crystallization and loss of adhesive properties. The mixture retains the property of gluing surfaces for 2.5 hours. The seam obtained after hardening is highly resistant, does not allow water to pass through, does not react to acids, alkalis, heating, and does not shrink.
The maximum tensile strength after hardening at +20 degrees is achieved during the day:
- setting after 2 hours;
- strength at a pressure of 10-12 technical atmospheres (atm) - after 5-7 hours;
- in 150-160 technical atmospheres (atm) - after 18-20 hours.
The in-plane shear strength varies from 140 atm at +20 degrees, to 45 atm at +125 degrees. The adhesive bond retains its working qualities at temperatures up to +125 degrees. At +200 degrees, functionality - 500 hours, at +250 degrees - 5 hours. Each of the components of the glue has advantages, the combination of which gives, in general, the desired properties.
Epoxy resin
Epoxy resin in VK 9 is a brown, transparent, viscous liquid.
Characteristics of the substance:
- gives a strong bond with metal surfaces;
- resistant to aggressive chemical influences;
- uniform solidification, without shells and cracks;
- does not collapse under the influence of temperature;
- does not let water through;
- during the hardening reaction, phenols and formaldehydes evaporate.
In its pure form, the epoxy joint is not flexible enough: it cannot withstand vibration.
Polyamide resin
Polyamide and epoxy resins mix well.
Polyamide polymer:
- elastic;
- slightly absorbs water;
- does not emit toxic fumes;
- possesses high density after solidification;
- resistance to compression.
The synthetic compound belongs to surfactants, superior in adhesion property to epoxy resin.
Special recommendations to consider when working
Colored sealant is sold in tubes designed for use with a gun. Before starting work, you need to cut off the edge of the plug, screw on the applicator.
Mandatory preparatory work: the base is cleaned of dirt, residual glue, dried; the edges of the seams are covered with adhesive. Such preparation will ensure adhesion and cleanliness of the cladding.
Joint filling must be carried out in full. No later than the expiration of 8 minutes, the seam is smoothed with appropriate tools soaked in water. The adhesive tape is removed immediately after smoothing. If contamination remains, then they are removed until the mass dries. Removal is carried out with an alcohol solution. If the grout is dry, the removal of contaminants is possible only mechanically, since the mass cannot be dissolved by chemicals. In this case, you must be careful not to damage the cladding.
When the product hardens, acetic acid is released, therefore, work should be carried out in IZ products. If the substance comes into contact with the open skin or eyes, immediately rinse with running water.
The use of glue "Ceresit CM 11" in tandem with an elasticizer
"Ceresit CM 11 plus", the technical characteristics of which will become known to you after you have read the article, can be used when arranging heated screeds, on parapets, plinths, entrance lobbies, external staircases, terraces, balconies, as well as operated roofs, however in this case, the glue must be used in conjunction with the CC 83 modifier. The mentioned additive is used when there is a need to apply the described glue on deformable bases, namely gypsum plasterboards, particle boards, and OSB. The combination of adhesive and elasticizer allows the composition to be used in indoor and outdoor pools and tanks. Experts recommend using this technology on ceramic claddings for both internal and external work. This can even include glazed products. This solution is also suitable for paint coatings, which are characterized by a high degree of strength and excellent adhesion properties. If you are faced with the task of using an adhesive composition on anhydrite or gypsum bases, as well as cellular lightweight concrete, the age of which starts from 1 month, then the recommended addition to the composition in the form of an elasticizer is an indispensable solution.
Additional tips and tricks
There are frequent cases when, due to improper storage, the polymer composition has thickened. To dilute the glue, you need to add alcohol or another substance on the same basis to the material. A similar tool is recommended to be used to remove polymer solution from clothing, shoes and other surfaces. This procedure should be carried out immediately, without waiting for the resin to dry.
Despite the fact that Dragon belongs to the universal polymer adhesives, when working with floor coverings, it is recommended to use highly specialized products that contain acrylic components. Such solutions provide high-quality adhesion of parquet, laminate or fiber to a concrete or other base.
Dragon has proven itself well when installing insulation such as mineral wool or foam. It is also suitable for gluing tiles to walls or floors. However, it is recommended to use polymer adhesives in powder form to fix the wallpaper. A product based on modified starch, which does not form lumps during dilution, is considered optimal for such cases.

Main characteristics
- Universal construction adhesive KS is multifunctional, made on a silicate base or thermoplastic resin. Resin-based products are called PVA, and silicate-based compositions are characterized by increased heat resistance and, even after freezing and thawing, can be used for their intended purpose.
- Before applying the glue, it is necessary to prepare the surface by cleaning it from dirt and remnants of the old coating. The porous material must be primed. Minor defects are eliminated with KS glue-paste. Some mixes can be applied directly to old coatings.
- The composition is prepared by mixing, applied in a thin layer on one of the surfaces to be glued. The material should be placed on the paste within 10 minutes. The same amount is given to correct the situation. After leveling, the material is pressed firmly and left to harden. It takes about 72 hours to fully solidify.
When using adhesives, it is recommended to use special goggles and protective clothing, and to ventilate the room well during and after work. Avoid contact with skin, respiratory tract, esophagus, eyes. In case of contact with skin, rinse with soapy water and seek medical advice.
The formulations are stored in large Euro tanks or in small plastic buckets with a tightly closed lid at room temperature. To prevent adhesives from losing their properties during storage, they must be protected from moisture and ultraviolet radiation.
Five cycles of freezing and thawing are allowed, provided that the package is kept closed. The shelf life is about 18 months, subject to the storage rules.
Spheres of application of glue
KS are used for gluing non-concrete, wood, brick surfaces of materials such as glass, wood, ceramics. With its help, parquet boards, block parquet, chipboard, cardboard, linoleum products are glued.
Since the adhesives are resistant to high temperatures, they are indispensable for laying stoves and fireplaces. It copes well with sealing small cracks, does not cause swelling of wood and cardboard substrates.
Tile adhesive is approved for use in any premises: from attics and kitchens to basements and production halls. It is used for finishing entrances, staircases, covered areas.
It can be used as a masonry compound, as well as a putty for decorative finishing of stoves and fireplaces, provided there is no contact with fire. Also, adhesives are used for masonry work in the creation of partitions and walls from glass blocks.
