Glass glue is a variety of glass and other substrates for bonding and sealing materials, the main components of sodium silicate and acetic acid and organic silicone composition, is the frequency of decoration. A high adhesive, in the table, basin, bathroom toilet, shower room, bathroom cabinet installation need to use. There are many varieties of glass glue on the market. Most of the packaging of glass glue will indicate the material for bonding, and some will also indicate the bonding strength of different materials. When using, there are also some things to pay attention to.
Gluing steps of glass glue
Remove moisture, grease, dust and other pollutants on the surface of the joint, when appropriate, the solvent can be used to clean the surface, and then wipe all the residue with a clean cloth, so that it is fully clean and dry. Cover the surface near the interface with plastic tape to seal the working line neatly. Cut the mouth of the rubber hose, install the nozzle tube, and then cut it at a 45° Angle according to the caulking size. Then install the glue gun, keep 45° Angle along the gap to press the glue material, the glue material and the substrate surface close contact. When the seam width is greater than 15 mm, it needs to be repeatedly coated. After gluing, use a tool to trim the surface, remove the excess adhesive material, and then remove the tape. If there is any stain, use a wet cloth to remove it.
Adhesion time and curing time of glass adhesive
The curing process of glass glue is from the surface to the inward development, different characteristics of the silicone surface dry time and curing time are not the same, so if you want to repair the surface must be carried out before the glass glue surface dry. Among them, acid glue, neutral transparent glue should generally be in 5~10 minutes, neutral mixed color glue should generally be in 30 minutes. If color separation paper is used to cover an area, after gluing, be sure to remove the skin before it forms.
The curing time of glass glue increases with the increase of bonding thickness. For example, acid glass glue with 12mm thickness may take 3~4 days to solidify, but in about **, the outer layer of 3mm has been solidified. If the place where the glass glue is used is partially or completely closed, then the curing time is determined by the tightness of the sealing. In a variety of bonding occasions, including closed situations, the bonding effect should be checked before the use of the bonded equipment.
Storage method of glass glue
Auman environmental protection remind you: bought glass glue is not urgent to use, or used after the rest, then we should pay attention to good preservation, for later needs. Glass glue should be stored in a cool, dry place, 30℃ below the environment. Good quality acid glass glue can be the most effective storage period of more than 12 months, general acid glass glue can be stored for more than 6 months; Neutral weather resistance and structural adhesive can be more than 9 months of shelf life. If the bottle has been opened, use it within a short time; If not used up, the glue bottle must be sealed.
