Peculiarities
The Tytan company, part of the Polish company Selena, specializes in the production of various building compounds: polyurethane Titan with high moisture resistance, adhesives with a wide range of uses, polyurethane foam and much more.
In this article we will take a closer look at liquid nails from the above-mentioned manufacturer. Most of all adhesives are universal products that are used both for household repairs and for large-scale work. Excellent performance indicators of the products are ensured due to special additives in the composition. All goods are produced abroad and come to Russia through official distributors.
How to apply the composition?
To apply liquid nails, you need to use step-by-step instructions.
- The working surface must be washed, dried and, if necessary, degreased.
- There is no need to apply the composition to the entire base. A stripe or dotted line will be enough.
- For greater convenience, a special pistol is used.
- To protect indoor furniture and other items, use film, thick fabric or newspapers.
- Remember that the setting process takes a second, so the work must be done quickly. Afterwards, you need to securely connect the parts and hold them for about two minutes, pressing them tightly against each other.
- The process of complete hardening occurs in about a day. During this time, it is recommended not to load the connected elements.
Universal construction adhesive 601 (Liquid nails)
Rubber adhesive Tytan No. 601 is produced in cylinders with a mount for a mounting gun. The main advantage of liquid nails over other formats is the ability to glue surfaces slightly spaced from each other (i.e., it does not require a complete fit). Titanium 601 will easily replace nails and screws.
The composition does not lose its properties in the temperature range from -30 to 60 °C. Apply a thick layer to the entire surface, initial hardening takes 5–10 minutes, complete drying takes 24 hours.

Tytan Professional sealants
Titan Professional offers high-quality sealants for any task: silicone and silicate sealants, acrylic, polymer, polyurethane (PU), bitumen and rubber sealants. In addition to universal and multi-purpose compounds, the brand offers specialized sealants (roofing, for example).
Silicone sealant
Titanium silicone sealants have proven themselves well in professional circles. They have a high level of adhesion to most materials and are resistant to various weather conditions. The universal sealant is used not only to seal seams and seal joints, but also to seal wires and protect polyurethane foam from ultraviolet radiation. Withstands 1 freezing cycle.
In addition to the universal range of Tytan silicone sealants, it includes sanitary sealant, glass sealant, kitchen and bathroom sealant, marble sealant, window, door and siding sealant, acrylic bathtub sealant, high temperature sealant, etc.
Multi-purpose sealant
Tytan Multi-Purpose Sealant (Hybrid) can be used to bond and seal even on wet surfaces. The composition is odorless and does not contain solvents, so after drying it can be painted.
This sealant practically does not age and retains its elasticity.
Like the entire Titan line, the multi-purpose sealant is suitable for most building materials: ceramics, glass, concrete, cement, stone, metal, wood, polycarbonate, PVC, etc. The sealant is excellent for roofing work.
Acrylic sealant
The brand’s acrylic sealant has a high level of adhesion to porous materials; it can be applied to wet surfaces and can also be painted after drying. The sealant quickly forms a film that can be removed before complete hardening; then only a mechanical method will help.
Preparation of mortar mixture
The condition for preparing the solution is room temperature of the driest mixture of plytonite and water. If the bag was stored or purchased in cool weather, then before use it should be kept warm for up to two hours.
The solution is made from purified water without chemical compounds, which is poured into a container with a cleaned bottom and walls. It is forbidden to knead in a dirty container or with dirty tools. If a construction mixer is used, then the attachment is new or cleaned from the previous batch.
According to the instructions, for one kilogram of dry Plitonit glue you need 240 ml of water. That is, approximately 6 liters of water are consumed for a 25 kg bag.
Initially, water is poured, and then the dry mixture is poured.
To check whether the solution has been prepared correctly, apply it to the wall; if there is no dripping, then the consistency is correct. The stirred mixture is left for 5 minutes to swell, then mixed again. Throughout the work, the mixture must undergo additional mixing.

Purpose and types
Titanium glue is universal and can be used for different surfaces.
For example, there is Titanium for foam plastic, tile adhesive, for polystyrene foam, and the like. The glue itself is multicomponent. This material has excellent technical characteristics, including resistance to temperature changes, is not afraid of a humid environment, frost-resistant, etc.
Universal titanium adhesive is available in different forms:
- Liquid Nails.
- Glue mastic.
- Universal glue.
Let's consider all its features and properties.
Universal
Mainly used for gluing linoleum, wood, parquet, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene foam.
The glue itself is in a sealed package, which is squeezed out of it using a special dispenser. Once the material has dried, the seam is practically invisible.
It must be applied to a previously cleaned and prepared surface. Universal Titan dries in about one hour. Tile material is very popular for wall decoration.
Adhesive mastic
Used for gluing materials to a wide variety of surfaces, for example, chipboard, fiberboard, plasterboard, wood, brick, plaster, cement, concrete. Used for special ceiling tiles. Before using it, the composition must be thoroughly mixed.
Liquid Nails
Produced in small cans. The glue is squeezed out using a special construction gun. It is used for a variety of purposes. Operates in different temperature ranges.
Can be used both outside and inside the room. Few things glue as well as this type of Titan glue. So, it is used for gluing wood, PVC, polyurethane, ceramics and even metal outdoors.
Characteristics
Below, we will consider the technical characteristics of transparent Titan glue.
- Does not create any load on the surface being coated.
- Environmentally friendly.
- Heat resistance up to +100°C.
- Minimum seam area.
- Excellent viscosity.
- Has excellent adhesion to various surfaces.
- Versatility.
- Frost resistance.
- A waterproof seam is created.
To perform a particular job, the correct selection of Titan adhesive is necessary. One of the most popular ones is polyurethane. They can be used to glue glass and plastic surfaces. It dries quickly and has good viscosity.
Due to this, it is convenient to use when gluing material to the ceiling. Unlike its analogues, it has a rather pungent odor. Therefore, when working with it, the room should be well ventilated.
Advice! When gluing a particular surface, drafts are not recommended. This may negatively affect the quality of gluing and the drying process of the composition.
It dries very quickly. This eliminates the possibility of the surface peeling off and the material moving to the side. It is best to read the manufacturer's instructions before using it.
This is important, because the recommendations for use should include expanded polystyrene or polystyrene foam; if they are not, then remember, some compositions contain solvents. Their presence will cause deformation and corrosion of the plastic.
Therefore, you can use Titan adhesive for tiles. You can glue ceiling tiles with this composition without much difficulty.
Its use is especially practical if the glue accidentally stains the material being glued. To remove it from the ceiling you need to use a diluted solvent. Using this composition dissolves the glue and even stains and marks are completely removed.

How to remove PVA?
Of all existing adhesives, PVA is the most susceptible to dissolution. The arsenal of tools that can be used to dissolve PVA glue includes the following materials:
- 1. hot soapy solution – when treating with this material, the surface should be washed with 9% acetic acid or 96% alcohol;
- 2. baking soda perfectly softens hardened residues; to get the result, you need to walk a hard sponge with soda over the PVA layer - it will be wiped off in a minute;
- 3. water softens the dried PVA clot, its soluble elements are separated from the emulsified suspension, the remains can be wiped off with a rag moistened with acetone, methanol, isobenzene or ethyl acetate.
Types of Titan glue
The most popular types of glue are found on sale everywhere in construction and hardware stores and supermarkets. There are also a number of specialized compounds that are much more difficult to find, for example:
- Titan Professional EV W (chemical professional winter anchor) – a two-component composition for use at sub-zero temperatures (down to -18 degrees);
- “Titan PVA D3” – PVA construction adhesive with increased moisture resistance;
- Titan Thermospray – polyurethane sprayed thermal insulation;
- Power Flex adhesive sealant is a silicone sealant with enhanced strength.
Universal glue
Polymer universal Titan SM (“Titan SM”) and “Titan Wild Premium” are adhesives that have a wide range of applications. They are sold in translucent plastic bottles and are conveniently applied through a dispenser. After drying, the seam becomes completely transparent, therefore the scope of use of adhesives is not limited to the color of the surface. Most often, products are purchased for gluing the following materials:
- wood;
- PVC;
- polystyrene;
- wood-based materials;
- carpet;
- glaze and ceramics;
- leather.
How long does it take for universal glue to dry? 1 hour is enough for the composition to dry completely and the product can be used (without serious mechanical stress). The seam remains flexible and does not deteriorate from vibration, it is moisture-resistant, heat-resistant, but gains full properties after 24 hours.
Adhesive foam "Titan"
Several types of adhesive foam are produced under the Titan brand - “Titan Professional 65 Uni”, Titan Professional Euro for block masonry, “Titan 60 seconds”, etc. Such products are characterized by high adhesion to mineral substrates, economical in consumption, perfectly fills cracks and holes. The maximum level of adhesion to surfaces is observed after 2 hours. You can work with the compositions at temperatures from -10 degrees. They are used for installation:
- thermal insulation;
- foam silicate blocks;
- ceramic tiles;
- sand-lime brick;
- gas silicate blocks.
Adhesive mastic
Mastic "Titan" is intended for working with tiles, natural and artificial stone, glass, plywood, brick, and plaster. It can also be used to glue ceiling tiles, baseboards and decorative elements, plasterboard sheets, chipboard and fiberboard. Mastic can be used to level bases and seal any defects.
The composition is frost-resistant, heat-resistant, lasts a long time, and does not collapse. You can work with it at temperatures from +8 degrees. Despite the fact that the mastic sets in 20 seconds, it will not be possible to quickly dry the entire adhesive seam; this requires 12 hours. The glue consists only of safe components; there are no solvents in it.
Liquid Nails
Among analogues (such as “Moment”, “Epoxy-Titan 6 BL” and others), liquid nails of the “Titan” brand stand out for their high degree of adhesion, economical consumption, and moderate cost. They are available in tubes of 200-310 ml, and the larger package is additionally equipped with a glue gun. The most popular adhesives in this series are:

Classification by composition
Titan brand adhesives are also divided depending on the main composition. Each adhesive has advantages and disadvantages, and also differs from others in the specifics of application, although the difference in the area of use is small. Here are the main types of adhesives:
- Rubber. This includes the Titan Professional line of products, which are convenient to use for wood, particle boards, gluing tiles, baseboards, and baguettes. The adhesives are resistant to changes in pressure and temperature and have excellent elasticity. This same line includes the so-called “liquid metal nails”, which are used to glue mirrors and glass only indoors. The rubber also contains universal liquid nails “Titan 601”, intended for finishing and insulating materials, cornices, sockets, and panels.
- Polyurethane. Adhesive Styro 753, which contains polyurethane, is a representative of this group of adhesives. It can glue almost any material, even bitumen, mineral wool, and is often used for fastening thermal insulation boards and roofing coverings. Polyurethane glue has antiseptic properties and does not allow fungus and mold to multiply.
- Acrylic. Titan Express glue is an excellent product for gluing stone, wood, ceramics, and glass; it hardens very quickly, so it is used for urgent work. Lepnina Decor adhesive is also an acrylic adhesive, has excellent quality characteristics, is suitable for cork, glass, and can glue any decor in the interior.
- Polymeric. The scope of application of such a product is wide, but more often it is used for unusual materials that it does not harm - amalgam, alloys, fiberglass, etc. This product attaches equally well to various types of insulation, ceramic tiles, and moldings. The glue has powerful sealing properties and is not affected by sunlight.
Funds are also divided according to the form of release. They can be packaged in metal buckets, plastic buckets, tubes with a nozzle or dispenser, which are used with a glue gun. Titan is also sold in plastic bottles and small tubes with a screw cap.
Super glue
Still don't know how to dissolve Moment glue? This type of glue is not very easy to remove, so it should not be allowed to harden on the surface. If you urgently need to remove Superglue “Moment”, then you should immediately begin cleaning, and a 100% product – dimexide – can help with this. It can be bought at any pharmacy and is freely available. Moment glue belongs to the category of fast-setting and difficult-to-remove substances.
It should be taken into account that with the help of dimexide, a stain can be removed in a few hours, and you need to have patience for this. The concentrate works great for damaged clothing if it shows signs of Superglue. “Moment” is easily removed: soiled clothes should be soaked in dimexide concentrate for 30 minutes. This is enough to remove the stain.
It is important to know! Acetone can cause damage to the varnished surface on which the Moment glue is located, so it is better to use a more gentle option - dimexide.
If Moment superglue is on a varnished surface, parquet or laminate, you can carefully clean it off with a sharp object, for example, a construction spatula or a knife.
Polyurethane foam STD
Tytan STD one-component polyurethane foam is used to fill and seal joints, cracks and other gaps. Most often used when installing windows and doors. Ideal for wood, stone, concrete and metal.
Advantages of STD foam:
- does not require additional equipment (the bottle is equipped with a special applicator);
- noise insulation up to 62 dB;
- thermal insulation;
- ergonomic packaging;
- can be used for 2 months;
- rapid hardening;
- prevents the appearance of fungus and mold.
Mode of application:
Before use, shake the container thoroughly and then keep it upside down. Apply foam to a clean, degreased and damp surface using an applicator. When hardened, the composition doubles in size.
Characteristics of Titan glue
For each type, the technical characteristics are individual; they depend on the substances included in the composition. The most popular is transparent universal glue, the parameters of which look like this:
- thickness of the adhesive layer – up to 4 mm;
- weight of 1 m2 of glue – 4.5 kg;
- breaking force in the transverse/longitudinal direction – 600/400 N;
- heat resistance – up to +140 degrees.
The properties of the glue allow the finished seam to withstand significant mechanical loads and, after drying, not to become brittle or deteriorate over time. Titan brand products can be used in rooms with any humidity; they can withstand even intermittent direct contact with water.
Modern products and concentrates
To clean unnecessary glue stains from various surfaces, we will need assistants, which are modern chemicals. As a rule, such products can deal with adhesive stains in a few minutes.
So how to dissolve Superglue? Some housewives use products such as alcohol, acetone, soap, vinegar, and water to combat the adhesive base. All of these remedies are effective, especially if they are combined with each other. But this depends on the nature of the pollution.
Let's take a closer look at each method for removing adhesive stains.
Instructions for use
First you need to choose the right glue so that it perfectly matches the materials used. The easiest way to use polyurethane glue is that it dries faster and is easy to apply. When working with glue, you need to ensure good ventilation, but without drafts - the latter interfere with the quality of gluing and change the drying speed of the composition.
You need to work with glue like this:
- Carry out high-quality preparation of the base. All dirt and dust must be removed from the wall, ceiling, and other surfaces. Remove any pieces of old coating that are falling off, apply plaster, and cover up all holes and defects. Sand and degrease metal and plastic products. If possible, use a primer. Immediately before applying the glue, the base must be completely dry.
- Apply Titan glue to one side (for complex or large surfaces, you need to treat all the substrates to be glued; for tiles, apply the glue with a snake). Firmly press the materials together, do not lift your hands or the fixing device for at least a minute (if we are talking about ceiling tiles, you need to hold them with your hand for 60 seconds, then you can release them). Leave the products alone until the glue dries completely.
Adhesive-mastic is applied using a spatula, either pointwise or in a continuous manner if the product has significant weight. “Liquid nails” are applied with a glue gun in stripes or waves in a thick layer; they can be used to finish surfaces with differences and defects.
Dried smudges of glue are visible in bright light, so it is recommended to remove them immediately. Expanded polystyrene and other soft substrates can be cleaned with a damp cloth if the glue has not yet hardened. Remove the glue from solid bases after it has dried by picking it up with a sharp spatula and tearing it off with your hands. You can also use organic solvents – acetone, white spirit – to clean surfaces.
How to dilute glue
It happens that the glue dries out and becomes more viscous. If it has thickened, you can dilute the composition using simple steps. You need to take regular medical alcohol, add it to the glue in a small volume, and shake well. The diluted product dries a little longer, but penetrates better into the smallest cracks and pits. How to dilute the glue in tubes when it thickens? It will not be possible to restore the normal consistency of such a product due to the tightness of the packaging, but it can become too viscous only after the expiration date.
How can you dilute dried glue, how can you remove it from clothes, ceilings and other surfaces?
Thickened glue does not glue materials well, so to restore its performance properties, you can dilute it with medical or industrial alcohol, but in no case with acetone or isopropyl, since the glue completely deteriorates when combined with these substances. Diluted glue takes longer to dry, so it is better not to let it thicken: you need to close the lid tightly or buy the smallest container.
To clean clothes from fresh stains of universal glue, you need to remove it with a napkin and quickly wash the item. To remove old glue, substances such as vinegar, acetone, white spirit, Dimexide, etc. are used, but you need to first test them in an inconspicuous area so as not to completely ruin the clothes.
