Liquid nails "Moment Installation": features and benefits

Liquid nails "Moment Installation" is a universal tool for fastening various parts, elements of decoration and decor without the use of screws and nails. Ease of use and aesthetic result allowed the use of glue in many types of repair work.

Liquid nails consist of a large number of fine-grained fillers. This allows not only to glue, but also to close the cracks. They perfectly fasten wood, plasterboard, plaster, ceramic and cork surfaces. Some types of glued glass, stone, metal.

The liquid nails "Moment Installation" on the composition can be divided into two large groups: based on synthetic resin and polyacrylate-water dispersion.This directly affects the properties of the adhesive, its technical characteristics and application.

"Moment Installation" on the basis of synthetic resins contains rubber and organic solvents. Thanks to the latter, it has a sharp unpleasant odor and is highly flammable until hardening. Rubber nails should be handled in well ventilated areas. They are suitable only for construction and installation works.

Technical characteristics of rubber nails:

• seams withstand prolonged contact with water;
• perfectly fasten smooth and non-absorbent surfaces;
• can be used as a sealant;
• due to the elasticity of the adhesive, the seams are resistant to vibration;
• excess mixture is removed only with a solvent;
• dissolve the plastic.

Nails based on polyacrylate-water dispersion are chemically neutral. They can be used for interior repairs: gluing PVC panels, plastic baseboards, baguettes, ceiling tiles. And although the hardened seam can withstand negative temperatures,The glue itself is stored and set at a temperature of from +5 to + 300ºС. It is marked on the packaging of MB.

Technical characteristics of acrylic nails:

• do not have a sharp unpleasant smell;
• can be used to fill gaps;
• resistant to atmospheric moisture, but can not withstand prolonged contact with water;
• after drying can be painted with dispersion paints;
• universal;
• at least one of the surfaces must absorb water well;
• excess can be easily removed with a damp cloth.

"Moment Installation" can be divided by the type of material, for example, only for plastic. Nails are available in white or transparent (marking a small letter "p"). The choice of liquid nails depends on the intended scope of work. If the seams are in contact with water, and the surfaces are smooth, non-hygroscopic, the elements are large, it is better to choose glue based on synthetic resins. If you want to glue the plastic elements of decoration, decor, repair work carried out in living rooms, it is better to use acrylic nails.

The line "Moment Installation" has about sixteen products. Depending on the materials and complexity of the upcoming work, you can easily choose the most suitable adhesive composition.

If the glue does not apply, it must be kept necessarily closed, as it quickly forms a film. It is intended for installation of ceiling tiles, floor plinths, wooden and metal decorative elements, sockets, wall-mounted wood panels, as well as for filling gaps up to 1 cm.
• “Moment Installation. Polymer "toThe leu is a composition based on an acrylic water dispersion, not a liquid nail. It has excellent adhesion, becomes transparent when dried, and is used to fill deep gaps. They can glue together paper, cardboard, foam plastic, wood, parquet mosaic, polystyrene foam, PVC. Available in bottles.

Liquid nails - this is a special strong glue created for mechanical fasteners. Gluing force can replace screws and nails, hence the name.Great for mounting tiles, panels, baseboards, friezes, platbands, window sills, decorative elements. During the work does not require the use of percussion instruments, but for fixing heavy structures may require fasteners. "Instant battle" allows you to quickly perform all installation work. The polarization time is about 15 minutes, during which time you can move parts, adjust the direction.

Rubber compounds are used for the installation of heavy structures, where there is high humidity. Great for wallpapers made from natural bamboo, tiles and mirrors. For plastic elements, PVC and foam, it is better to use liquid nails on acrylic water dispersion. They are more versatile, less dangerous and have no chemical smell. This adhesive can be used in children's rooms and other residential areas.

Before applying the adhesive, it is necessary to clean and degrease the surface.Nails are applied with a distance of 2 cm from the edge, so that the glue does not come out of the seam when squeezed. If the surface is uneven, then apply a point. For small surfaces, you can line up to give greater rigidity and increase the setting force to apply with a snake. For example, for ceiling tiles, you can apply a continuous line around the perimeter, for wall panels - in small segments.

Apply glue according to the instructions. If acrylic nails, then apply glue and press, holding for a few minutes, until it seizes. If the nails are rubber, then apply glue, connect the surface, and immediately separate, so that the solvents disappear, the bonding is better. Hold for 5–10 minutes and connect finally, pressing. If the construction is heavy, then use props.

If the surplus is still made, then until they are dry, they can be removed by scraping with a plastic card as a spatula. Acrylic nails can be wiped off with a damp cloth, rubber ones are removed with a solvent. If the surface is porous, then such manipulations will spoil the appearance.In this case, it is better to wait until the excess glue dries, and carefully cut them off.

• To work with liquid nails, you must purchase a construction gun. The cartridge is inserted into it, then you need to open or cut off the tip. The composition is extruded using a trigger. If large-scale repair work is planned, then it is better not to save money and purchase a quality gun. Do cheap models quickly fails trigger. The gun itself is versatile and useful for working with sealant.

• If the concrete walls are fresh, then it is necessary to withstand at least a month. This is necessary in order for the surface to dry well, and the concrete itself grappled. After you can proceed to installation work. If PVC panels need to be glued to painted walls, then it is necessary to sand them. Acrylic nails do not adhere well to surfaces that are not absorbed. According to numerous reviews, you can additionally apply a primer.
• To improve adhesion to polystyrene foam, the surface can be coated with wood glue diluted with water (1: 1). As soon as the “primer” is dry, nails can be applied. Parts are fastened with liquid nails quickly,but it takes more time to cure completely. Dries glue from 12 to 24 hours.
