Brand features
The rights to the Moment trademark belong to the German concern Henkel, a giant in the production of household chemicals. The company is engaged in the development and production of adhesive products from the second half of the nineteenth century. It is one of the largest manufacturers in Europe.In the domestic market, glue appeared in 1979, and was manufactured at a factory for the production of household chemicals in the city of Tosno, Leningrad Region. Production was carried out according to the license of “Pattex” on German equipment and in strict accordance with the developments of the company's specialists. Clay was named "Moment-1" and immediately gained immense popularity among Soviet consumers.
In 1991, after the acquisition of a controlling stake by Henkel, the Tosno plant became the property of the giant. Over time, the name of the company changed, and since 1994, the Household Chemicals Production Plant in the city of Tosno has been named Henkel-Era. A few years later, the company was forced to change the composition of the adhesive, due to the increasing incidence of misuse of products.
The toluene component was excluded from the Moment., which was a toxic solvent and had a specific effect on the body. The concern has spent several hundred thousand dollars on the implementation of this global project, thereby increasing its business reputation and gaining even greater consumer confidence.Today, the company is the largest supplier of a huge range of adhesive products to the Russian market.

Application and rules of work
Before starting to work with glue should carefully prepare the base. To do this, wash them with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Particularly smooth elements can be sanded. This will give the surface roughness and increase the adhesive properties of the bases. If necessary, the elements should be degreased with acetone.
Next, follow the instructions.as some types of glue should be applied on both surfaces and left for 10-15 minutes, others, for example, second-hand models, do not need such manipulations.When applying wallpaper adhesives, you can use both rollers and brushes.
