Liquid plug: purpose and characteristics of the composition

The modern building materials market is constantly updated with new types of products. Therefore, for those who are engaged in repair, finding material at an acceptable cost that meets specific needs is not difficult. An interesting and multifunctional product is a liquid tube.

Natural cork is a material with a rich history of use. It is usually used as a raw material for facades. But not everyone can afford to cover the building with a natural cork due to its high cost. Liquid cork is a worthy alternative to natural raw materials, while possessing a number of advantages and advantages.

But there is a problem with the interior design materials that are incompatible in their physical characteristics.Therefore, it is necessary to correctly and aesthetically fill the seams between them. To find a way out of this situation, you can use a liquid tube - a multifunctional material that provides an attractive appearance and protection in matters of interior decoration.

The wide popularity of the material due to a number of positive properties and advantages that it has.

These include:

• resistance to temperature fluctuations;
• good adhesion to most surfaces;
• excellent thermal insulation characteristics;
• mechanical strength;
• 100% environmental friendliness;
• elasticity;
• no possibility of shrinkage of raw materials.

Current trends in the construction of residential houses determine the use of materials of natural origin. This is explained by the fact that a building made of environmentally friendly products will be absolutely harmless to people living in it, which will provide a greater level of comfort. Cork does not cause allergic reactions due to its naturalness. In addition, this coating has no predisposition to the accumulation of dust.

The use of this material for facades significantly reduces the likelihood of human exposure to harmful radioactive radiation. This fact is confirmed by a number of studies, as a result of which it was found that the cork protects the walls from fields of anomalous type.

Experts note that during the operation of various cork surfaces, the raw materials do not rot, it does not form mold and fungus, due to the characteristics of the composition, which includes natural preservatives. The surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth, water pressure from a hose or a washing vacuum cleaner. Traces of fat are easy to wash off with a solvent. A small resistance to mechanical stress is compensated by a good maintainability of the material - for this it will be enough to once again process the damaged area with the material.

Cork is a natural material that is produced from the bark of Mediterranean oak by crushing and pressing it. In terms of their structure, the products are similar to honeycombs. One of the components of the raw material is cell sap, it is not soluble in water or alcohol, so that the material has excellent performance properties.

As a rule, the share of cork in it is up to 90%, the rest of the volume is made up of binder polymers and water.

The quality of the polymer binder element will depend on how the cork will manifest itself during application and during use. For bonding granules, many manufacturers use polyacrylate-based glue, which has excellent adhesion to most building materials. Also, these substances have physical properties similar to cork.

Thanks to the bonding elements, it is possible to minimize some of the material's defects, such as hygroscopicity and susceptibility to destruction from contact with oxidizing agents and ultraviolet.

Liquid cork is represented on the market in a large color variety, so every buyer is guaranteed to choose the perfect shade and color of the material. The color of the composition can be a natural shade or is given by a dye that is added during the preparation of the solution.

Liquid plug has 46 primary colors., including the most common - white, brown, gray.Also, the surface treated with cork material, perfectly amenable to painting with water-based coloring compositions.

Cork coating is an original and elastic raw material. Thanks to him, it is quite easy to solve important problems in the construction field, and the products are widely used for the following works:

• providing roofing protective coating;
• facade decoration;
• finishing of partitions and ceilings;
• minimization of noise and vibrations;
• heat insulation;
• anti-corrosion coating of metal structures;
• protection from the accumulation of excess moisture;
• noise insulation of cars, cabs, cars;
• decorative use in the interior;
• protection of low-temperature and high-temperature product pipelines;
• fire protection of various designs;
• insulation loggias and balconies.

Cork properties make it possible to use products for sealing joints between different surfaces and structural materials, for example, between a floor covering and a wall, for designing joints between tiles and PVC panels, wooden surfaces and laminate. In the course of these works, the seams will be reliably sealed, even at largetemperature drops, as a result of which the main composition of the product is deformed. This feature is achieved due to the elasticity of the tube.

In addition, this material has been successfully used as insulation for door and window openings. Applying a liquid plug to the joints of the slopes and frames, as well as the seams of the door frame will eliminate the possibility of drafts in the room.

Liquid cork is a versatile material that finds use as a base material for wall finishing, including indoor and outdoor use.

As a result of its application, a coating is formed that has the following properties and features:

• attractive exterior;
• simple technology applied to the surface;
• water repellency;
• good vapor permeability;
• heat and sound insulation.

The combination of the above properties makes it possible to solve a number of basic problems. First of all, the material eliminates the need to search for workers to perform wall decoration.Processing of the facade or walls in the rooms can be performed by specialists without serious construction qualifications, which makes it possible to do everything personally.

In addition, the surface covered with a liquid cork looks luxurious and expensive, which eliminates the need to purchase expensive materials for decoration.

Reliable waterproofing provides high-quality protection against rain moisture, which significantly extends the overall operational life of the house. The excellent sound insulation provided by the material solves the problem of street noise, so the maximum proximity to the roadway inside the house will not be felt. Cork perfectly absorbs noise and vibration.

Sprayed liquid tube allows water vapor to penetrate through the surface, which favorably affects the microclimate inside the house.

With high-quality laying on the floor of the parquet one of the main points is the sealing of the joints that appear between the board and the walls. This task is complicated by the fact that the surfaces have different mechanical properties. Natural wood differs from plaster or tile in that it can change its geometry from temperature changes and the effects of moisture on raw materials. Even after a short period of time after laying the flooring can swell or start to creak due to neoplasms in the form of gaps. In such cases, it is the liquid coating that can solve such a complex, at first glance, problem.

This is explained by the elasticity and elasticity of the cork, which gives the board some freedom. Due to this material expands, but without prejudice to the plane of its installation.

Products perfectly fills the gaps in the floor due to its elasticity, providing the same pressure on the entire element. That is why the formation of gaps is excluded. At the same time, the material retains excellent strength, which does not limit the possibility of using the coating for its intended purpose. Cork is widely used in the repair of parquet as a material for sealing gaps.

Liquid cork has a diverse scope of application.Practically in any place where insulation, tightness and heat insulation are necessary, the material will be most welcome. And almost all the work with the products can be easily done by hand, which will save money on hired labor and eliminate the need to purchase expensive materials.

In the domestic construction market, the liquid plug is represented by several trademarks. Popular brands Isocork, Bostik.
