Surface preparation

The surface of materials prepared for gluing must be dried, cleaned from dust, grease, oils and other contaminants using solvents. It is not recommended to apply Titebond to painted surfaces, therefore old paint must also be removed.

Working with glue

Mix the glue thoroughly, apply it to the surface of both parts with a brush and squeeze them well, excluding movement. During the drying period (10-20 minutes), remove the excess with a damp cloth. If necessary, reposition the parts until the glue dries.

Precautionary measures

It is necessary to work in ventilated areas using protective equipment (especially for allergy sufferers).If the adhesive comes into contact with the mucous membrane of the eyes, it is necessary to rinse the eyes with running water for a quarter of an hour. If dizziness or nausea occurs, go outside quickly. In case of contact with skin, remove as soon as possible and wash with soapy water.

Keep out of the reach of babies.

Varieties

Solvent Free Cove Base

This compound helps to adhere PVC and rubber finishing structures, as well as acoustic tiles.
The underlying surface can be drywall sheets, putty, paint and varnish materials and wallpaper, as well as ceramic tiles. Having come into contact with the surface, the glue prevents the attached materials from sliding down.

Its physical characteristics:

• state of aggregation - mastic of moderate viscosity;
• color - beige;
• shelf life - 2 years or more;
• frost resistance - acceptable for operation in Russia

The glue itself and the materials to be joined must be warmed up to +5 degrees.
After drying, the composition is removed with a sharp knife blade. The mixture should be applied strictly on one side, its choice is arbitrary. Do not use glue without the inclusion of a solvent to join parts that are under water for a long time.

Instructions for use

You can start working with the product only at freezing temperatures indoors or outside buildings. For all types of adhesives, preliminary surface preparation is very important: in the presence of dust, sawdust, and other contaminants, the degree of adhesion may decrease. In addition to such contaminants, grease, oil stains, and old paint should be removed. For this purpose, the following methods are used:

• grinding with a special machine, sandpaper;
• the use of a scraper;
• rinsing with household or professional detergents;
• wiping with degreasers, solvents.

Work should only be done in a well-ventilated area. Due to the environmental friendliness of the composition, it is possible not to use special respiratory protection, but for allergy sufferers, people with hypersensitivity and lung diseases, masks (respirators) are required. If dizziness is observed, you should immediately leave work and go out into fresh air. If the glue gets on the skin, wash it well with soap, otherwise there is a risk of irritation and redness. When the product gets into the eyes, they are washed well (at least 10 minutes), if necessary, consult a doctor.

In carpentry work, a tool is often needed that allows you to connect parts without nails and self-tapping screws. This is glue Titebond
, in the production of which a different basis is used: the components can be proteins, polymers, synthetic rubbers, polyurethanes, aliphatic resin.

How to use epoxy glue: instructions

The gluing process takes place in 3 stages:

• cleaning surfaces;
• preparation of glue mixture;
• gluing surfaces.

First of all, a thorough preparation of the parts with which to work is carried out, since the finished glue will need to be applied immediately before it hardens. The surfaces are cleaned with ordinary sandpaper, then degreased with a special solution and after complete drying, you can go directly to the glue hardener.

Steps for preparing epoxy glue:

1. Squeeze the resin out of the tube into a container.
2. Add hardener as directed. Typically, 1 part solvent contains 10 parts resin. An overdose of hardener is allowed 1: 5.
3. Mix the glue ingredients by hand.
4. Apply the glue composition to the surface of the part and press firmly against the other, fixing the position for 10-15 minutes. The exact time of action of the hardener must be found in the instructions, since some manufacturers may make minor changes to the composition. In a few hours, the product will be completely ready for use.

Titebond Solvent Free - Green Tube (Solvent Free)

Adhesive characteristics

Despite the possibility of professional use, the products of the series do not require special skills, knowledge during application.

They are easy to use, it is only important to carefully read the instructions. A common tool, including metal, is suitable for work, glue does not stick to metal, and all fixtures can be easily cleaned

Other properties and technical parameters of Titebond adhesives:

1. After hardening, all adhesives become transparent, despite the initial dullness of the consistency. They can even be applied to delicate items.
2. Means are resistant to freezing, after drying, the seam will withstand temperatures down to -35 degrees. Also, glued bases can be heated up to +40 degrees, but at +100 the seam area can catch fire.
3. The bond strength will be very high, much higher than the wood itself. This ensures the durability of the glued products. The seam is resistant not only to the action of water, but also to the influence of solvents and acoustic vibrations.

1. Adhesives are universal, they are suitable for all types of wood, as well as other compositions based on wood, combined materials, many types of plastics. Also, the means can effectively fasten paper, cardboard. Elastic compounds are suitable for use as sealants.
2. All errors in work - stains, drips - can be washed off with water until complete solidification. This is very convenient for adjusting the glue line.
3. The polymerization of the composition is fast (10-20 minutes), but still not instantaneous, and it is quite possible to correct the position of the parts. As the humidity rises and the temperature drops, polymerization may slow down. You can not work with the composition at temperatures less than + 10-12 degrees.
4. It is not required to subject parts to strong compression, installation under a press. They will stick together even with a moderate degree of fixation, the adhesion will not decrease.

The most popular adhesives of the Titbond brand have a dry residue of 48%, their viscosity is 4000 mPa / s, and their acidity is 3 pH. Material consumption is 180 g / sq. cm.After opening, each product remains suitable for a long time (up to 2 years) if stored at a temperature of about +20 degrees. It is undesirable to apply the composition on painted surfaces, use it in rooms with too high humidity, poor ventilation.

Peculiarities

You can work with this composition by cold or hot gluing. The basis of the glue is a water-dispersion mixture, which makes the composition universal. With glue, you can glue not only wood, but also plastic with other materials. Consumption is 190 g / m². Polymerization times vary from 10 to 20 minutes.

Heavy duty
- a very strong compound that is suitable for bonding concrete, brick, fiberglass, ceramics, stone and even hardboard. A high degree of adhesion is ensured by the synthetic rubber included in the composition. With this glue, you can even work with wet and frozen wood.
The hardened seam has good elasticity, thanks to which vibration and mechanical influences are not afraid of it.

How to determine the quality of the adhesive?

Consider our advice. The most important indicator of the quality of the glue is its high adhesion capacity.

The higher this indicator, the better the glue. In second place is adhesion (sticking force), which ensures the most durable adhesion of various materials.

An equally important characteristic is the drying time of the adhesive, which must be taken into account when laying floor coverings in rolls. The drying rate is influenced by the composition of the glue and the presence of organic or inorganic functional compounds in it.

The drying speed is influenced by the composition of the glue and the presence of organic or inorganic functional compounds in it.

The quality of the glue can also be judged by its elasticity. This makes Franklin flexible adhesives ideal for flooring applications.

The indicators of the moisture resistance of the adhesive composition play an important role when it comes to working with them in bathrooms, saunas, swimming pools and other rooms with high humidity.

As for wood flooring, it is necessary to choose an adhesive that does not contain water for their installation. This means that polyurethane glue is ideal for working with wood.

Types and characteristics of adhesives

There are polymer and polymer cement adhesives for flooring.

Tiles, artificial and natural stone are laid using polymer-cement adhesives. The glue-cement provides reliable adhesion of durable and hard materials.

Polymer adhesives are used for laying linoleum, wood, laminate, carpet. Adhesives of this type have high indicators of elasticity, strength, resistance to aggressive environments.

In addition to the above compositions, acrylic mixtures and PVA glue containing water are widely used for laying floor coverings. They are characterized by high adhesion and vapor permeability. The presence of liquid rubber in polyurethane mixtures and the absence of water make them versatile.

Before starting to work with flooring adhesive, you must carefully study all the technical characteristics and recommendations of the manufacturer, the type of material, and the operating conditions.

If the selected glue is suitable, then you can get to work. If you have any difficulties when choosing an adhesive, it is better to seek help from a consultant.
