Universal glue "moment": characteristics and application

Specifications

Moment universal glue is supplied in cans of 750 ml, in cans of 10 liters; smaller packaging - 30, 50 and 125 ml (in tubes). There is also a universal "Moment-1" 125 ml. The carpentry variety of the material is sold in a package of 3 kg, since working with furniture and wooden structures requires a significant expense.

A tube with a capacity of 400 g is most often "Moment Montage Superstrong MV-70". This mixture allows you to glue wall panels, window sills, skirting boards and decorative structures of various kinds.

If there is a need to buy especially strong glue, it is better to choose "Moment 88". It easily tolerates the effects of cold and moisture, it can even connect cardboard to glass, cork to concrete or plastic to rubber. But styrofoam and individual polymeric materials cannot be glued with such a composition.

According to the reviews, the transparent universal Moment glue perfectly holds a variety of materials, including gypsum. It is actively used by the creators of all kinds of crafts and home craftsmen: thanks to inconspicuous seams, the created objects seem to be solid, sometimes it is difficult to guess that glue was used at all.

Specifications

In our country, the production of Moment brand glue is carried out in accordance with GOST. It is waterproof and durable, and due to its technical characteristics it instantly adheres to the surface of the materials to be bonded. Bonded parts and structures are durable.

Let's consider the main characteristics.

• Drying time. It is very easy and pleasant to work with Moment glue. The joint dries quickly, the glued product can be fully used after 24 hours after processing. Achievement of such drying times is due to the properties of the special components that make up it.
• Has the property of not spreading. It gives convenience in work and a high-quality look to the repaired things.

• It is waterproof due to this property, it can be used to glue various objects that may constantly be in contact with water. The properties of moisture resistance allows you to use things after gluing for their intended purpose, without fear of water getting on objects.
• Transparency. The glue has a valuable quality - it is transparent. This property allows you to restore products without visible violations of the connection.
• Availability. You can buy it at any store within walking distance. Adhesives are sold there exclusively for household needs. If you need a large amount of glue for the implementation of large-scale construction work, then this product can be purchased only in specialized hardware stores.
• For ease of use, the adhesive is sold in different quantities. Packaging "Moment 1 Classic" has different volumes of tubes of 30, 50, 125, 750 ml. Small packages are suitable for gluing small parts.

Large packages are purchased for serious construction work. It is easier to work with a large volume of adhesive, it will last for a long time, and it does not dry out for a long time, since the packaging containers are made with a special purpose for long-term use.

Negative sides

With all its positive features in use, this brand has its negative sides.

• The great popularity among buyers has led to the fact that a lot of fakes have appeared on the market that cannot meet the required declared qualities of branded products. Counterfeits contain toxic and harmful substances.
• It has a strong specific smell, but all household chemicals of this kind have odors due to the components included in their composition.
• Some adhesives are difficult to wash off after contact with skin. This problem, most likely, can be attributed not to the quality of the product, but to its inaccurate use.

Storage conditions and tips for use

For all funds, approximately the same rules apply: they need to be stored at a temperature of -20 ... + 30 degrees, away from heating devices and sources of fire. It is advisable to avoid exposure to the sun's rays, being in conditions of high humidity. Store the formulations only in their original packaging.

Any old material, especially loose material, should also be removed. Smooth surfaces should be pre-sanded, cut to improve the quality of adhesion. Next, you need to apply glue to one or both surfaces (as indicated in the instructions), fix them, wait until they dry completely.

For applying wallpaper adhesives, rollers or brushes should be used, which should be prepared in advance.

Brands and specifications

On the building materials market, there is a wide variety of options for glue brand 88. Different types have their own parameters and distinctive features. To choose the appropriate option, taking into account your own preferences and tasks, you should familiarize yourself with the description of each variety.

Depending on the brand, the glue is produced in a special container (tube, drum, barrel). The largest containers hold up to 50 liters of solution. The properties of the material remain unchanged for 6-12 months, subject to the basic storage rules. The container with the product must always be tightly closed. The optimum ambient temperature for storage is 10-25 degrees.

Extra strong type of glue Moment has a gel-like consistency and quickly bonds various materials. The moment is versatile, waterproof and resistant to extreme temperatures. The adhesive is easy to apply, does not run or drip from vertical surfaces.

Application area

Such an adhesive composition can be used for all kinds of substances, for example, for imitation leather, leather, metal, fabric, wood, glass, cardboard, polymeric materials and others. The substance is also suitable for both linoleum and rubber. And glue for the shoe industry is also actively used, and it is precisely such substances that will be easily applied to products at different temperatures, and everything sets quickly. The product will be ready for use after a day if you glued everything in a cold way, and if it was hot, then after 3 hours you can use the product.

As for the methods of using the adhesive composition, or rather, gluing, there can be two options:

Hot glue should be spread in a thin layer over the required surface, and after half an hour, it is important to expose the object that was glued to high temperatures (about +90 degrees Celsius). Next, we leave the object under pressure for a while.
The cold method can also ensure a reliable connection of products.

Distribute the substance evenly on the desired item. After 20 minutes, you can apply another layer of adhesive, and under the press, the object that was glued should spend a day.

If we talk about an industrial scale, then such glue as No. 88 can be seen on sale even in cans of 25 kg. As for the warranty period, it will be one year, and if the substance was stored correctly, it may take longer (the storage temperature should be from +10 to +25 degrees. Such glue is also actively used for the construction industry. They can glue materials on rubber base or rubber products to reinforced concrete or wooden bases.Glue is also used in everyday life, which allows you to glue not only leather products, but also stick foam rubber on different surfaces

A bit of history

The company's goal is to improve the quality characteristics of products in the field of household and construction chemicals. Henkel has a great reputation in the world for its wide and high quality product range. Until the end of the seventies of the XX century, the Soviet Union was forced to buy glue from abroad. It was only in 1979 that a domestic manufacturer of the Moment brand appeared in our country.

The production of a line of adhesive products was taken over in 1991 by the Tosno plant in the Leningrad region. In 1994, the plant acquired the Moment glue trademark as a full property. In the manufacture of products, exclusively German technology is used.From the very beginning of production to this day, the products of the plant have no competition among other manufacturers and deservedly occupy a leading position in the market.

Instructions for use

Each adhesive must be applied in a specific way. It is advisable to consider the use of the "Moment Montage" mixture - one of the most popular in construction.

• At the time of application, it is required to strongly press the surfaces to be joined to each other; it is this force, and not the duration of the pressure, that is especially important. If there is no special roller, bottles and other elongated objects can be used for pressing to ensure uniform pressure.
• Leaving the glue for storage, you need to make sure that it is hermetically sealed, and the temperature is not lower than -20 and not higher than +30 degrees. Glue that has been frozen in permissible cold will need to be stirred before use.

• Before using the mixture, it is necessary to remove fatty deposits and deposits on the treated surfaces (using gasoline or acetone) and after placing a thin layer of the substance, leave it alone for 15-20 minutes (then press).
• If you find an excess of glue, you need to wait for it to partially dry and manually collect it into a small ball, which is then thrown into the trash can. The adhesive mixture is removed from the surface of the clothes by simple washing with a standard program.

additional information

The glue "88" is so named for a reason. During the strength tests, for some reason, the test procedures were delayed for 8 days (instead of the usual 7), while the withstanding tensile strength on the last day was 8 joules. The experimenters could not ignore such an unusual fact, and so the result of technical control gave the name to the product. For professionals in the field of chemistry and building materials, these numbers - 88 - mean a lot. Only rare adhesives can boast the same stability in use.

The normal color of the composition can be different: for example, both a light yellow and a light green tint, occasionally even a beige tint is found. The manufacturer guarantees excellent adhesive resistance in contact with gasoline and diesel fuel.

Despite all the reliability of "Moment 88", it is required in any case to degrease the substrate. If you do not follow this rule, there is no chance of success. For some time before the final attachment, the adhesive mass should be in contact with air. For not too porous substances, the exposure is from 2 to 3 minutes (taking into account the 0.2 cm layer on one surface). If the mixture is applied from both sides at once, it takes 5 minutes to keep it in the air.

When processing a porous coating on both sides, use a layer up to 0.5 cm thick and hold for 10 minutes, this is enough to saturate the pores. For your information: materials that greedily absorb the composition must be processed twice. In case of excessive thickening of "Moment 88", it is permissible to dilute it with ethyl acetate. The proportion for dilution is 1: 1. The most important advantage of this glue in comparison with the usual "Moment" is the ability to release the subsequently connected surfaces.

In the next video you will find a review of the Moment 88 glue for gluing a neoprene suit for spearfishing.

Glue 88-CA

Attention! Rubber glue 88-CA is not toxic, but it belongs to fire and explosive substances! It is forbidden to carry out work near open flames, near electric heaters, in the area of ​​high temperatures and in places where sparking is possible (for example, next to welding)!

Advantages of 88-CA glue:

• high elasticity of the glue line;
• a wide range of glued materials;
• long-term stickiness, the adhesive layer retains residual stickiness for a long time, which is especially convenient when working with large areas of glued surfaces;
• non-toxic, does not emit harmful or hazardous substances into the atmosphere when dried and under the influence of high temperatures;
• the adhesive mixture does not contain toluene and other narcotic solvents;
• the adhesive bond remains functional in air, in fresh and sea water at temperatures from -50 to + 60 ° C;
• the adhesive mixture is produced completely ready for use.

Directions for using 88-CA glue:

1. Stir the glue 88-CA thoroughly before use.
2. Thoroughly clean the surface of the product from dirt, degrease with gasoline or acetone and dry.
3. Grease the surfaces to be glued with a thin layer of 88-CA glue, air dry for 10-15 minutes, apply a second layer - dry for 3 minutes.
4. Roll the lubricated surfaces with a roller or press them together under light load for 2-3 hours.
5. Operate the product after 24-48 hours.

The adhesive film (formed after the volatilization of the solvents) retains some elasticity.

Mode of application

• Rough the surfaces to be glued with a sandpaper, wipe with a solvent, dry for 10-15 minutes, coat with glue, dry for 8-12 minutes, smear a second time and dry for 2-3 minutes.
• Glue the surfaces, press firmly and allow to cure for 24 hours.
• Stir the glue thoroughly before use.
• The temperature of the glue before use should not be lower than + 18 ° C.

How to use it in practice?

The Moment Crystal glue is transparent and does an excellent job with the task: according to consumer reviews, the connections made with this substance do not lose their strength for a long time.

According to the instructions: in order to glue the surfaces, they will first need to be thoroughly dried and cleaned with fine-grained sandpaper. Then they are degreased with acetone or gasoline, after which an even layer of glue is applied to the material. Moreover, we note that you need to cover both surfaces with an adhesive, and not just one. This is a common mistake of inexperienced buyers.

Then you need to stand for about 10 minutes and firmly press the surfaces to be joined for a few more seconds. In this case, the effectiveness of the operation will largely depend on the applied force, and not on the duration of the pressure.

As a result, you can get a really effective combination of materials of different nature, resistant to wear, the negative effects of high temperatures, humidity or weak solutions of acid and alkali.

When performing work, it is boring to remember that the composition may ignite. Therefore, all operations with it must be performed exclusively away from a source of open fire and in a well-ventilated room.

It is also worth considering that all work for the safety of a person must be carried out in special clothing. If Moment Crystal glue comes into contact with an open skin area, it can cause irritation, burning, allergies and other skin disorders.

Performance properties and performance characteristics

The tool is used for gluing a huge amount of materials, has a minimum of restrictions. The application of a thin layer on one side of the part and the joining of the elements ensure the highest strength of the glue seam. This is achieved through an excellent level of adhesion. "Moment Crystal" is transparent, which only expands the scope of its operation, because after gluing the joint will be completely invisible.

The main technical characteristics of the tool:

• the recommended temperature while working with glue is from +15 to +30 degrees (it is possible at a different temperature, although the polymerization time will change);
• operating temperature of products after the glue seam has dried - from -35 to +75 degrees;
• high cold resistance - the seam can withstand several cycles of defrosting and freezing, the glue itself in the tube also quickly restores its original properties after defrosting;
• consumption - 200-400 g / sq.m (depending on the type of surface, purpose);
• moisture resistance, no changes in technical parameters even with direct exposure to water;
• resistance to ultraviolet radiation, the influence of diluted acids, weak alkalis;
• the optimal density of the glue is 0.88 g / cu. cm.

The glue has several restrictions on its use. It is forbidden to use it to repair things made of teflon, polypropylene, polyethylene. Also, glue should not be used to glue dishes, other kitchen items and utensils that may come into contact with food.

Peculiarities

First of all, it should be emphasized that there is by no means one Moment glue, it is a whole galaxy of connecting materials, each designed for a specific task.

Regardless of the specific application, they differ:

• long period of work;
• immunity to water ingress;
• excellent resistance to overheating;
• mechanical strength;
• stability of the glue line formed.

When the adhesive hardens, it does not widen or shrink (and these are the main reasons for premature joint failure). Even when a solvent or machine oil gets on the joint, the performance is fully maintained. Adhesion between surfaces occurs very quickly, there is no need to break away from usual daily activities for a long time.

But the high qualities and the popularity associated with them made Moment a constant target of counterfeiters. Nobody can guarantee the quality of their products.

Nowadays, there are more than 100 brands of adhesives of this brand. They are produced by contact, second, wallpaper, stationery, epoxy. They are conveniently shaped for ease of operation. They are sold in the form of adhesive tape, as sealants, in the form of alkaline batteries. It is almost impossible to list all the options.

The declared universality of the "Universal Moment" glue provides for the combination of several types of adhesives into one group. The versatility of the process of gluing materials together is not limited to the operations performed when processing specific materials. Each brand of glue contains various components that enhance its specific functions when exposed to materials with different adhesion characteristics.

Let's list the popular universal brands available on the shelves of our stores.

Consider the most popular varieties of the universal composition.

"Classic" has shown itself to be the best in the repair of various things and in the assembly of many structures and parts. An important advantage of this material is the ability to combine substances in the most bizarre combinations. The glue easily tolerates contact with water, the working temperatures of the joint are from -40 to +110 degrees.

With this composition you can:

• connect wood and leather, metal and PVC, rubber products and natural cork (in various combinations);
• glue decorative laminate and fittings to the base made of natural wood and wood-based materials;
• veneering;
• perform postforming;
• do-it-yourself panels with enhanced soundproofing properties or with special acoustic parameters;
• increase the tightness of the edges of plywood and wood products, covering them from water.

Moment glue of this modification will not help to glue styrofoam, polyethylene and polypropylene items, plasticized polyvinyl chloride items. It is unacceptable for hygienic reasons to use it to restore items in contact with food and medicinal raw materials.

Universal glue is attractive because it is very easy to work with, and the seam dries quickly: surfaces treated according to all the rules can be used fully in just 24 hours after applying the composition. The developers managed to achieve such impressive properties through the use of a wide variety of components and extensive testing of preliminary samples.

In production, rosin (pure and in compounds with ethers) is added to the mixture, additives that protect against the action of solvents, rubber and polyatomic resins. If you have to build a whole house or repair a lot of things, it is advisable to buy 1 liter packaging, it is more economically profitable.

"Joiner PVA" has become widespread both among woodworking professionals and home craftsmen. It is this mixture that is best suited when you need to assemble furniture or restore its integrity.

With the help of "Joiner" you can connect:

• paper;
• plywood of various thicknesses;
• plastics;
• fittings;
• textile details.

A strong chemical bond connects the desired items within 5 minutes.

The good thing about waterproof contact glue is that it is transparent and there are no traces during operation, but a completely elastic seam is formed. Such a composition is useful when you need to combine PVC, organic glass, polystyrene. It does well with natural materials like wood, paper or metal. But polyethylene, polypropylene and all things in contact with food are prohibited

It is important to remember that this glue is not only poisonous, but also flammable, therefore it must be stored away from fire and sources of strong heat.

Wallpaper glue "Moment" is divided into a number of types (for each type of wallpaper). Regardless of this, it includes special components that stop the development of molds. We can talk about certain species for a long time, but it's time to talk about more important things - practical properties.
