Its shape is very convenient and the consistency is optimal. Even when joining delicate materials, they will not be affected, and glue stains will not appear on the front side.
Due to its excellent operational characteristics, such an adhesive composition is indispensable in everyday life and makes it possible to connect dissimilar and homogeneous materials.
Kinds
Adhesive “Moment Joiner” is presented in modern markets in the form of 5 series.
They differ in the composition of the main substances, color, conditions of use, setting period and complete hardening.
- “Moment Joiner glue express” is a universal moisture-resistant material, suitable for working with wood of any species. They can be used to glue plywood, wood-fiber and particle board substrates, and veneer boards. The time for complete setting is influenced by the air temperature and humidity of the wood.
2. “Moment Joiner Super PVA” is suitable for working not only with wood, but also with chipboard, fiberboard and laminate. It can be spotted among other varieties by its bright red jar. It, unlike the previous variety, has a transparent structure. After drying, it is almost invisible on the surface. But it is suitable for work in dry and moderately damp rooms, as it belongs to class D2.
3. “Moment Joiner super PVA D3 waterproof” is a universal material that differs from other varieties in its optimal degree of frost resistance. It is not afraid of repeated freezing and thawing. It can fasten not only wooden, but also laminated bases. You need to choose this variety for working in rooms with high humidity levels.
4. “Moment Joiner PVA universal” has a water-dispersion base and is also suitable for working with any recommended materials. It has a shortened period of complete setting, a transparent consistency, and does not leave streaks, cloudy spots or colored highlights on the surface. In order for the glue to create the most dense, reliable and durable adhesion, you need to ensure that the surfaces are firmly fixed for 20 minutes.
5. “Moment Joiner Instant Grip” is an acrylic water-dispersion composition, suitable for working with any type of wood, it sets in 10 seconds, so it requires certain application skills. It is very simple and easy to apply and does not leave any marks on the surface. You can use it to fasten wood to metal, PVC to plastic. It can withstand 5 cycles of short-term freezing without damage.
Can the glue be dried with a hairdryer?
It is strictly forbidden to dry the glue when installing patches using a hair dryer or other similar devices. The vulcanization solution (glue) must dry naturally. In the case of drying with a hairdryer, we create a film on the surface of the vulcanization solution that prevents further evaporation of the glue.

How to make it yourself
If you want to use a natural adhesive composition, then it is better to make it yourself. For this purpose, they use products that are available at home or that are easy to purchase in the store.
From starch flour
Ordinary paste is made from potato or corn starch. It is better to prepare it immediately before work. After pouring starch into a bowl, first dilute it with cold water until thick. Then begin to pour in warm water, stirring. When the paste has cooled, use it.
Carpentry
To prepare the glue, the powder is diluted with warm water 1:2. Then put on low heat and heat to 65 degrees. Dilute with water to the desired consistency and keep in a water bath. The composition of the finished product must be homogeneous.
PVA
To get a liter of glue, you will need:
- white flour - 100 grams;
- ethyl alcohol - 20 grams;
- gelatin and glycerin - 5-10 grams;
- coloring pigment as desired.
First, gelatin is diluted in warm water in 50 or 100 milliliters of water. The substance swells for a day. Now dilute the gelatin with water and heat it in a water bath, bringing it to a boil. Flour is gradually added there. The mass is cooked for an hour with thorough stirring. All that remains is to add alcohol and glycerin. After 30 minutes of cooking, remove from heat.
Adviсe
Each factory packaging of Moment glue contains individual instructions for use. But there are universal tips and recommendations for working with contact rubber adhesive:
- When purchasing Moment, you need to be interested in product certificates and expiration dates.
- Knowing the volume of work ahead, select the appropriate packaging of the adhesive composition (for use without residue). Remaining adhesive in depressurized packaging quickly thickens (dries out) and is difficult to apply evenly during subsequent applications.
- Before gluing materials, their surfaces are cleaned of traces of dirt, dust, and remaining particles from any mechanical processing.
- For better adhesion and increasing the contact area, the parts are pre-treated with fine sandpaper and then degreased with acetone or gasoline.
- When applying Moment, use a brush; if thick glue is used, use a spatula.
- To ensure a tight fit, the products to be glued are pressed and placed under a press.
- When working with compounds, you need to ensure high-quality ventilation of the room.
- Do not allow the Moment to come into contact with your skin - burns may result.
Another useful practical tip for home craftsmen:
Household use of a large number of products made of rubber and rubberized materials requires periodic repair or restoration. With the right Moment rubber adhesive, any repair, without deviating from the manufacturer’s instructions, can be carried out efficiently at home.
Application of universal glue “Moment”
There are many types of adhesives, including those that have been used for over half a century. But the relatively recently appeared “Moment” glue is confidently on par with them and is even better known to many people. As practice shows, it’s not just a matter of marketing ploys: this chemical composition really works. Our article is devoted to the use of this universal glue.
How to make PVA glue at home
If they don’t want to spend money on packaging from the store, people try to figure out how to make PVA glue themselves. Of course, there are no particular difficulties in this, but the ingredients will need to be selected exactly:
- 4 g glycerin;
- 1 liter of distilled water;
- 100 g wheat flour;
- 20 ml of ethyl alcohol;
- 5 g gelatin.
The process of cooking the adhesive composition is as follows:
- Soak the gelatin in plain water, as indicated in the instructions on the package, and leave for a day.
- Combine all components, except glycerin and alcohol, in a separate container and place in a water bath until completely melted and transformed into a homogeneous and thick mass. At the same time, do not forget to stir the mixture.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the resulting composition, mix thoroughly and remove from the water bath.
- Wait for the mixture to cool and immediately begin using it or place it in a container and close the lid tightly.
Consumers are also interested in how to make PVA glue colored and whether it is even possible. Oddly enough, such an experiment can be safely carried out without any special skills.
The following ingredients can color the adhesive composition:
- watercolor paints;
- gouache;
- nail polish;
- iodine;
- brilliant green;
- pencil lead;
- marker/felt-tip pen (draw a thicker spot on the paper and drop glue there).
You can choose the quantity of these components yourself, depending on the desired color saturation. Having combined the PVA and the coloring element, the mass must be thoroughly stirred using a wooden spatula or a toothpick, if its volume is minimal.
Performance properties and performance characteristics
The product is used for gluing a huge number of materials and has a minimum of restrictions. Applying a thin layer to only one side of the part and joining the elements ensures the highest strength of the adhesive seam. This is achieved due to the excellent level of adhesion. “Moment Crystal” is transparent, which only expands the scope of its use, because after gluing the joint will be completely invisible.
Main technical characteristics of the product:
- the recommended temperature when working with glue is from +15 to +30 degrees (it is possible at a different temperature, although the polymerization time will change);
- the operating temperature of the products after the adhesive seam has dried is from -35 to +75 degrees;
- high cold resistance - the seam can withstand several cycles of defrosting and freezing, the glue itself in the tube also quickly restores its original properties after defrosting;
- consumption – 200-400 g/sq.m. m (depending on the type of surface, purpose);
- moisture resistance, no changes in technical parameters even with direct exposure to water;
- resistance to ultraviolet radiation, the influence of dilute acids, weak alkalis;
- the optimal glue density is 0.88 g/cubic. cm.
The glue has several restrictions on its use. It is prohibited to use it to repair things made of Teflon, polypropylene, polyethylene. Also, glue should not be used for gluing dishes, other kitchen items and utensils that may come into contact with food.
Areas of application of superglues
Typically, cyanoacrylate-based adhesives are used where products need to be quickly glued and quickly dried, for example, when installing windows to fix seals, when attaching radio components, instrument assemblies, optics, and microcircuits. In everyday life, many radio amateurs use homemade glue based on superglue and soda: when mixing the components, the mixture instantly turns into solid “plastic” and firmly connects wiring and parts. You can use the same mixture to repair cracks, chips, and holes with your own hands.
The areas of use of superglue are varied:
- repair of shoes, leather goods;
- production of structures in dentistry, orthopedics;
- creation of jewelry;
- advertising production;
- construction;
- sewer plumbing;
- gluing rubber products;
- instrument making;
- sealing various components;
- cold welding of polymers, elastomers.
There is even medical superglue - an analogue of BF-6. It is used to seal wounds, quickly stop bleeding, and impregnate dressings. Some superglues, when applied to paper, cardboard, or other compositions containing cellulose, enter into an exothermic reaction. Therefore, on these surfaces you should first try superglue on an inconspicuous area and only then use it for work.
Pros and cons of adhesives
Titan glue has a number of advantages and disadvantages that you should familiarize yourself with in advance. The main advantages include the following:
- Convenience and ease of use. Many experienced builders praise the product for its ease of use. The adhesive composition is produced and sold in small sealed packaging. To apply liquid to the surface, simply remove the cap and apply a little pressure on the dispenser.
- Heat resistance. The advantages of Titan glue include its resistance to temperature changes. The adhesive copes with both low and high temperatures.
- Resistance to humidity. The product can be used outdoors and in damp rooms, since at high humidity the applied liquid does not lose its quality characteristics.
- Harmlessness. When making the adhesive mixture, no microelements are used that can harm human health.
- Resistance to ultraviolet radiation. Unlike Moment superglue, Titan can be used outdoors. Even with direct sunlight, the adhesive layer will not begin to deteriorate.
- Transparency. The frozen mixture is completely transparent, and therefore if it gets out of the glue, it will not be visible.
- Clutch speed. The applied liquid hardens and reliably adheres to the surface being treated within 30-40 seconds.
- Resistance to corrosion. The adhesive composition prevents the development of rust and therefore is often used for gluing metal products.
- Strength. The product belongs to the group of high-strength adhesive mixtures that can withstand loads from 40 to 90 kg/cm2.
Among the disadvantages are:
- Difficult to wash off. If glue accidentally gets on your skin or furniture, it will be difficult to get rid of. To wash it off, you will have to use solvents.
- Unpleasant smell. When working with adhesive, an unpleasant pungent odor appears.
Description and benefits
The adhesive composition, made on the basis of polyurethane, has a special hardening principle. The liquid begins to harden after prolonged contact with moisture or after using a hardener. After hardening, the surface on which the glue is applied is covered with a thin transparent film.
The polyurethane composition is universal, as it is used to connect products from different materials. This adhesive is suitable for joining ceramics, cardboard, glass, polystyrene, gravel and rubber. The main advantages of the substance include the following:
- connection strength;
- moisture resistance and tightness;
- resistance to low and high temperatures;
- resistance to oils, gasoline, acids and other types of aggressive components.
Information about Super PVA
PVA Super glue is a product with unique properties and characteristics. Before you start working with it, you should definitely familiarize yourself with the basic information about this tool. This will make it possible to make sure that the scope of application of PVA Super is really wide, and it copes with the task quickly and efficiently, because manufacturers use the exact formula and the necessary components in its production.
Briefly speaking about the product, we can point out the following characteristics:
- environmental Safety;
- the formation of a thin elastic protective film on the surface after drying;
- increased adhesion.
This list is not exhaustive. We'll tell you more about the product below.
Purpose and application
The difference between stationery glue PVA and PVA-M (Super PVA) is that the second can be used to work not only with paper, cardboard and small decorative items, but also with leather, fabric, carpentry, tiles, porcelain, heavy wallpaper , linoleum.
Since the strength of this product is high, gluing parts with a large weight onto it is always successful and the elements do not become separated from each other over time.
Properties of PVA Super
It is important that this PVA glue is frost-resistant and combines the uniformity of a paste-like mass. The product has high adhesive ability and does not contain toxins or organic solvents.
It is sold ready-to-use. In the bottle, the glue is a snow-white mixture, but when distributed over the surface and dries, the layer becomes transparent and barely noticeable.
How to use it in practice?
Moment Crystal glue is transparent and copes with the task perfectly: according to consumer reviews, connections made with this substance do not lose their strength for a long time.
According to the instructions: in order to glue the surfaces, they will first need to be thoroughly dried and cleaned with fine-grained sandpaper. Then they are degreased with acetone or gasoline, after which an even layer of glue is applied to the material. Moreover, we note that both surfaces must be coated with the adhesive, and not just one. This is a common mistake made by inexperienced buyers.
Then you will need to wait about 10 minutes and firmly press the surfaces to be joined for a few more seconds. In this case, the effectiveness of the operation will largely depend on the force applied, and not on the duration of the pressure.
As a result, you can obtain a truly effective combination of materials of different natures, resistant to wear, the negative effects of high temperatures, humidity or weak solutions of acid and alkali.
When performing work, it is tedious to remember that the composition may ignite. Therefore, all operations with it must be performed exclusively away from a source of open fire and in a well-ventilated room.
It is also worth considering that all work for human safety must be carried out in special clothing. If Moment Crystal glue gets on an open area of skin, it can cause irritation, burning, allergies and other skin disorders.
Super PVA White House
White House PVA glue is a very good and inexpensive glue - it is a viscous suspension with a consistency of moderate thickness. The composition is frost-resistant. It is non-toxic and can be used in different ways. It is allowed to be used in children's crafts, since it does not cause any harm to health.
White House Super PVA glue is liked by consumers for its minimal shrinkage during drying, as well as quick drying and very good adhesion. The main advantages and distinctive features of the mass include the appearance of a transparent seam after drying, which performs a protective function.
To get a good result after using glue, be sure to first degrease the work surface and fully withstand the subsequent clamping time of the parts. If these rules are followed, the connected elements will stay securely together for many years.
Types of PVA glue
Today there is more than one composition of PVA glue. Varieties are classified depending on technical characteristics, industry of application and other factors.
The following types of PVA are found on store shelves:
- Super (PVA-M). It contains additional components, due to which, after the glue dries, the strength significantly increases. It is recommended to use for household needs, gluing any wallpaper, installing tiles. It is packaged in small tubes with a spout and a lid, so that if desired, you can use it to make a thin seam to glue lagging elements or restore small damaged areas.
- Stationery (PVA-K). It is actively used in everyday life, usually for children's crafts. The product is available in liquid or dry form. In the first case, it is poured into small bottles, in the second, it is formed into solid PVA pencil glue.
- Universal (PVA-MB). The composition is always ready for joining cardboard, leather, wood and glass products. Ideal for processing carpet, linoleum, serpyanka, etc. The mixture is often sold in buckets.
- Construction (waterproof PVA emulsion) with polymerizing particles is intended more for compacting building mixtures, but can also be used as an independent tool for working with durable and heavy materials. In stores, this glue is found both in small tubes and in jars or buckets.
- Household (wallpaper). This variety provides good adhesion to concrete, brick, plasterboard and plaster. Also suitable for gluing heavy canvases and working with paper, foam rubber, and textiles. The product is usually sold in large buckets or jars.
Specifications
Universal glue “Moment” is supplied in 750 ml cans and 10 liter canisters; smaller packaging – 30, 50 and 125 ml (in tubes). There is also a universal “Moment-1” 125 ml. The carpentry variety of the material is sold in 3 kg packages, since working with furniture and wooden structures requires significant consumption.
A tube with a capacity of 400 g is most often “Moment Montazh Superstrong MV-70”. This mixture allows you to glue wall panels, window sills, baseboards and decorative structures of various kinds.
If you need to buy especially strong glue, it is better to choose “Moment 88”. It easily withstands the effects of cold and moisture, and can even connect cardboard with glass, cork with concrete, or plastic with rubber. But styrofoam and individual polymer materials cannot be glued with this composition.
Transparent universal adhesive “Moment”, judging by reviews, perfectly holds a variety of materials, including plaster. It is actively used by creators of all kinds of crafts and home craftsmen: thanks to unnoticeable seams, the created objects seem solid, sometimes it is difficult to guess that glue was used at all.
The white composition of universal PVA 250 g is attractive because it does not give off a bad odor; Often this is the composition that is associated with the famous liquid nails.
What is adhesive rubber mastic KN-2
This is an adhesive that is used in everyday life and industrial construction. KN-2 brand mastic is used for gluing various materials and objects. Sold in tightly closed metal containers. Inside the tin there is a viscous yellowish-brown or black mass. The adhesive is made of synthetic rubber with the addition of plasticizers, modifiers, and polymers.
The mastic contains a solvent. The composition of KN-2 determines the properties of the product. Additives prevent the development of mold and have a bactericidal and antiseptic effect. Rubber gives the mastic high adhesion to various surfaces. A certain amount of plasticizers and modifiers ensures good plasticity. The solvent gives the mass the required viscosity.
The KN-2 product can be used for gluing various types of linoleum, parquet, glass, plasterboard, rubber, and insulation. In some cases, glue is used for waterproofing. The KN-2 product is also used for installing bitumen shingles.
The viscous mass can fill any cracks. The rubber composition allows the KN-2 product to be used not only for gluing, but also as a waterproofing material. The substance has high insulating properties and is resistant to thermal and shrinkage deformations. The glue provides reliable adhesion to any building material. The KN-2 product can be used in any climate zone at temperatures from -40 to +100 degrees Celsius. The adhesive has excellent frost-resistant and heat-resistant characteristics.
The glue is convenient and easy to apply to any surface. KN-2 refers to cold-applied products. It only needs to be stirred before use. The glue must not be heated. It is advisable to apply the KN-2 brand product in two layers using a brush or spatula. The second layer of adhesive is applied only after the one already applied has completely dried.
The mass finally hardens after 24 hours. The substance is applied to a horizontal surface by pouring, followed by careful leveling. The recommended application layer is 2 millimeters. The consumption of the substance with such a layer is 1.5-2 kilograms per square meter of area. After applying the adhesive to the surface, the solvent contained in the composition quickly evaporates. Complete drying of the substance occurs within 1-3 days. True, KN-2 acquires its final properties only after 10 days.
If the mixture is too thick, it can be diluted with a solvent (white spirit, gasoline, kerosene). After drying, the glue turns into a layer of dense and elastic rubber. The hardened mass is not exposed to moisture, high or low temperatures.
Storage:
Store tightly closed at temperatures between minus 20°C and plus 30°C.
Ideal storage conditions are from plus 2°C to plus 8°C.
Application
1. The surfaces to be glued must be dry and clean.
2. To increase the adhesive strength of the surface, it is recommended to additionally clean it with sandpaper and degrease it with gasoline or acetone.
3. Before gluing, keep the materials at room temperature (from +18°C to +25°C).
4. Apply glue to one of the surfaces and immediately press the parts together. The speed of setting depends on air humidity. High humidity speeds up the setting time, while low humidity slows down the process.
5. Fixation time is usually 5-60 seconds.
6. Press from the center to the edges to avoid air accumulation. Glue the edges carefully.

How it is produced
Many people who are going to use such adhesives are interested in the features of their production.
An adhesive composition is produced on a polyurethane basis from synthesized microelements. Some manufacturers add components to it that help harden the applied adhesive liquid. Most often, a synthetic resin is used for this, due to which the mixture becomes more viscous and thick. Composite materials can also be added to the glue to improve its adhesive properties. To increase reactivity, hydroxyl-containing compounds are added to the adhesive composition. When creating moisture-resistant compositions, aminoimides are added.
Product types and application technology
There are several varieties of Titan adhesive mixtures, which you need to familiarize yourself with in advance. Also, before using them, the instructions for using adhesive compositions should be studied.
Assembly adhesive
The most common installation tool is the universal Titan Wild, which is used for gluing mirrors, linoleum, carpet and much more.
Before using the adhesive mixture, the surface is cleaned of dirt, leveled, degreased and dried. Then glue is applied in a thin layer, after which it is not touched for 1-2 minutes until it dries. In order for the glued products to be securely fastened, they must be pressed against each other. The connecting seam will harden within 30-35 minutes.
Transparent assembly adhesive
People who prefer to use crystal clear and transparent adhesives often purchase Titan Classic Fix and Titan Hydro Fix. Some people use Power Flex, which also remains transparent after drying.
Before applying “Classic Fix”, the surface to be treated must first be wiped of dust and cleaned of stubborn dirt. To ensure that the composition adheres more reliably to the coating, it is disinfected with an alcohol solution.
Glue for decoration
For gluing wallpaper or ceiling tiles, use a special two-component composition “Titan Decor”. First you need to dilute the glue with water to prepare an adhesive solution. First, prepare a container in which you need to dissolve Titan Decor and mix it with the liquid. For mixing, it is better to use a drill with a mixing attachment. The composition is mixed for about 60 seconds, after which it will be ready for use.
PVA glue for wood D2-D3
When gluing wood, special PVA glue is often used. Its main features include environmental friendliness, safety, moisture resistance, elasticity and low cost.
Many people are interested in how to dilute the composition before gluing wood. To prepare the adhesive solution, PVA is poured into a pan and heated to 40-45 degrees. Then it is mixed with water and left to infuse for 10-15 minutes. The prepared composition is applied to the surface in one layer.
Roofing adhesive
Tytan Professional is used for roofing, which is resistant to ultraviolet radiation and does not deteriorate in conditions of high humidity.
Before applying the adhesive solution, prepare the surface. It is cleaned of paint residues, rust, dirt and other substances that may be on it. Then everything is degreased with ethanol and dried. The glue is applied to the coating in thin strips, after which the surfaces are firmly pressed against each other.
601
This product is made on a rubber base. Many people are interested in what glues this composition. It is used for external or internal work when gluing brick, concrete or wooden products. The advantages of the composition include its frost resistance, high strength and level of adhesion to the surface.
604
A universal mixture made on a water basis. "Titan" No. 604 is used for indoor and outdoor work. It reliably bonds bricks, cement surfaces, wood and paper. Among the advantages of the glue are non-flammability, environmental friendliness, lack of solvents in the composition and strength.
901
This numbered adhesive is highly durable, which allows you to glue structures with considerable weight. It is used to secure materials made of wood, paper, brick, concrete and glass. Some people are interested in how long Titan No. 901 takes to dry. It completely hardens 15-20 hours after application.
910
To work with plastic and wooden products, numbered glue 910 is often used. This composition is resistant to mold, mildew, dampness and low temperatures. Among the disadvantages is the long-term hardening of the composition, since it dries for 2-3 days.
915
When gluing building materials to porous substrates, use “Titan” No. 915. The product is resistant to temperature changes and tolerates temperatures above 50-60 degrees. Hardening of the applied adhesive solution lasts 30-40 hours.
930
This is a high quality adhesive made from resins and rubber. Experts advise using it when gluing polystyrene, ceramic tiles, wood and concrete.
Instructions for use
Each adhesive composition must be applied in a special way. It would be advisable to consider using the Moment Montazh mixture, one of the most popular in construction.
- At the moment of application, it is necessary to strongly press the surfaces to be connected to each other; it is this force, and not the duration of pressure, that is especially important. If you don’t have a special roller, you can use bottles or other oblong objects to apply pressure to ensure uniform pressure.
- When storing glue, you need to make sure that it is hermetically sealed and that the temperature is not lower than -20 and not higher than +30 degrees. Glue that has been frozen at acceptable temperatures will need to be stirred before use.
- Before using the mixture, you need to remove fatty deposits and deposits on the surfaces to be treated (using gasoline or acetone) and after placing a thin layer of the substance, leave it alone for 15-20 minutes (then press).
- If you find excess glue, you need to wait for it to partially dry and manually collect it into a small ball, which is then thrown into the trash. The adhesive mixture is removed from the surface of clothing by simple washing using a standard program.

Features and description
Perlfix is a gypsum-based mounting adhesive. This is a product of the international industrial company Knauf. The company was founded in Germany in 1932. The brothers Alfons and Card Knauf, who lived in northern Bavaria, became acquainted with gypsum and were fascinated by its qualities. They dreamed of creating ideal building materials using it.
Today Knauf Gips KG is an international company with production facilities all over the world. The production processes are still based on gypsum. The company's technologists develop unique building materials using it.
Perlfix reliably fixes finishing materials. It does not need additional fastenings. The guaranteed service life of the coating glued to it is several decades. Ready-made Perlfix solution is used over a wide temperature range. The adhesive composition is used in houses with average humidity. The fixation period is one week. The seams need to be rubbed. Do this after the glue has completely set. In sealed packaging, Perlfix retains its properties for 6 months.
The adhesive mass is non-toxic and hypoallergenic. The composition contains no harmful impurities. The glue does not harm human health. In order to fix the finishing material well, the adhesive solution is applied in a layer 2 cm thick. The adhesive is sold in the form of a ready-made dry mixture. It does not require hardeners. It is simply stirred with cold water. A significant advantage of using assembly adhesive from Knauf is its simplicity. It is mixed with water until it becomes a paste. The finished batch should be used within half an hour.
Perlfix should not be used in areas with high humidity. Direct contact with water is not allowed. A coating laid on Perlfix glue will last for many years, provided that the working surface is properly prepared. Perlfix has good adhesion to concrete bases. The increased gypsum content guarantees the strength of the adhesive composition under compression and bending.
What it is
The history of unique technologies using natural adhesives goes back several thousand years. But only in the 19th century adhesive compositions based on natural rubber began to be used. This can be considered the beginning of the history of modern rubber glue, which necessarily contains dissolved rubber.
Natural rubber
Rubber material is called for the high-quality connection of the surfaces of elastic products to obtain (after complete hardening) a layer that is no different from rubber in elasticity, characteristics and appearance.
Natural rubber has limitations for use due to its constant characteristics of resistance to certain external influences and low heat resistance. The problem was solved with the development of the chemical industry. Now, rubber adhesive can also be based on synthetic rubber.
With the increase in the types of rubber products and the demand for elastic compounds on an industrial scale, the requirements for the properties, characteristics and strength of the seams of the adhesives used are growing. To give the adhesive composition a certain ability or change its properties, certain ingredients are added to it. Their composition and quantity are determined by the technical laboratories of manufacturing companies. Consequently, the ingredients, quality and application of glue from different brands may vary significantly. Some brands are produced only for the same type of material, taking into account the characteristics of its surface, approaching in texture and properties.
The following can be used as additives: various types of plasticizers; consistency stabilizers that prevent the components from turning into a gel state; increasing the strength of the hardening layer of resin and polystyrene; fillers to improve the vulcanization of the type of rubber used and other substances.
To summarize, we answer the question in the title of this section. Rubber adhesive is a composition of rubber (natural or synthetic), a solvent, a cross-linking agent (substances that prevent polymers from deforming and swelling in a solvent, increasing their strength) and special additives.
A little history
The company's goal is to improve the quality characteristics of its products in the field of household and construction chemicals. Henkel has great reputation in the world for its wide and high-quality range of products. Until the end of the seventies of the 20th century, the Soviet Union was forced to purchase glue from abroad. In our country, only in 1979 did our own domestic one appear.
The Tosnensky plant in the Leningrad region took over the production of a line of adhesive products in 1991. In 1994, the plant received full ownership of the Moment glue trademark. Exclusively German technology is used in the manufacture of products. From the very beginning of production to this day, the plant’s products have no competition among other manufacturers and deservedly occupy a leading position in the market.
Kinds
A group of multicomponent compositions that are united by a common name - rubber glue - can be divided into types according to the following criteria:
- By dry residue, according to GOST 2199-78: grade A, grade B.
- According to the type of rubber used. Thanks to the invention of synthetic elastomers, it became possible to connect not only rubber products with each other, but also gluing them with other materials in various combinations. The seam of such compositions has become resistant to chemical influences, critical temperatures, and ultraviolet radiation. Common adhesive compositions are obtained based on the following rubbers: natural; chloroprene – high speed of setting; butadiene-nitrile - waterproof compounds; organosilicon – for joining homogeneous rubber; butadiene-styrene – production of adhesive tape. Rubbers based on other components have limited or highly specialized applications and have not received domestic use.
- According to the gluing method: cold - the process occurs at room temperature, the result is achieved within a day; hot – the gluing process involves heating (+70°C–+160°C), the vulcanization time of the composition is reduced to several minutes.
The connection is obtained by hot vulcanization
Types of superglue
Miracle glue was developed in the USA back in the 50s of the last century. It has gained worldwide popularity due to the speed and reliability of combining dissimilar substances into a strong, indestructible whole.
All types of superglue contain 97-99% cyanoacrylate and additives that enhance properties:
- thickeners;
- hardening activators;
- enhancers elasticity, adhesion and water resistance.
Superglue is suitable for working with rubber, plastic, metal, and wood. You can glue any surfaces.
One-component
Popular types of superglue have one component in their composition and are produced in small tubes and blisters. Packaged in small volumes, since if the seal is broken, the composition quickly loses its properties and thickens. Setting occurs in a matter of seconds, but the item should be left for several hours (up to a day) before use so that the glue is completely hardened.
Two-component
More rare are two-component versions of superglue. Activation of the adhesive composition occurs by mixing substances from two tubes that are sold together. Before use, glue and a special activator are combined and applied to the parts. You need to do it in 2 minutes while the plasticity of the substance remains.

Additional tips and tricks
Experienced craftsmen give advice on working with a popular means for gluing different materials:
- We must not forget that when two substances come into contact, rapid heating occurs - a rise in temperature. You should take care of your hands - wear gloves. Cotton ones can become saturated with the composition, they are not suitable. It is better to use thin rubber ones.
- The adhesive composition retains its properties over a wide temperature range from -60° to +80°. If necessary, you can choose a heat-resistant option that can withstand exposure up to +250 °.
- The main thing when gluing is not a thick layer, but tightly pressing the parts.
- The glue is very economical - a drop is enough for a circle with a diameter of 2-3 centimeters.
- It is not recommended to glue polyethylene, Teflon, and silicone products. The composition is not suitable for dishes from which you eat.
- After use, smudges are carefully removed from the nose of the tube, and the cap is screwed on tightly. Mass-produced cheap types of superglue quickly harden; it is usually impossible to reuse the opened product.
- It is better to glue in ventilated areas to remove volatile substances from the air.
- You can replace soda with concrete chips and dry plaster, which also increase the adhesive strength.
- Glue that has hardened on your hands can be removed with a solution of Dimexide (1 to 3), vegetable oil, or soda slurry. The glue will come off on its own if you wash your hands with soap several times.
Superglue is produced by many well-known companies. Expensive options are more reliable and store better after opening. By introducing soda, you can improve the quality of any of them. Baking soda easily reacts with superglue, increasing strength and speeding up bonding. This is a cheap, easy option to improve the quality of a popular product.

Rules for working with moment glue
Where the gluing area will be, rub it with sandpaper (this procedure is very useful and effective for smooth surfaces - metal, plastic). It is also very important to degrease the surface itself. This can be done using acetone. If the surface is porous, then you need to remove dust from it; if possible, then we also clean it with sandpaper.
The glue must be applied in a thin layer. We do this as quickly as possible. It is very convenient to use a thin stick, such as a toothpick or an awl, when gluing. When you need to coat a large surface, drop some glue onto it and quickly spread it either with the back of a pencil or with a disposable brush. This is very important when using Universal Moment glue.
After you have coated the desired surface with glue, leave it alone for about five minutes. Also, you shouldn't do dusty work when gluing something, because this can impair the adhesion. When using Super Moment glue, it is important to leave the thing being glued alone for twenty-four hours.
It is important to calculate everything before gluing, because if you glue it incorrectly, it will be impossible to fix it. You can also use a weight when gluing; not only the amount of time is very important, but also the weight of the weight that presses on the object being glued.
Scope and features of application
Universal adhesive is suitable for wallpaper, fastening plastic and wooden products, gluing metal and glass parts.
Such products are not very liquid and do not spread much, making it possible to perfectly glue and repair even small parts.
- The so-called contact adhesive has a wide range of applications. It can be used when laying parquet, carpet or linoleum. This product is often used for reliable fixation of plastic panels and soundproofing materials.
- If you plan to work with floor coverings, then it is better to choose a universal construction adhesive. As a rule, it should contain acrylic polymers. This product is perfect for laminate, parquet and even coconut fiber coatings. A day after the work is completed, you can already walk on this floor safely.
- Also, universal glue can be used during the installation of insulation systems. The product works great with materials such as polystyrene foam or mineral wool. For such work, a universal mounting tool is usually chosen. It can be used while laying tiles. And not only indoors, but also for outdoor work.
- For gluing any type of wallpaper, it is best to choose a universal product in powder form, which you need to dilute yourself according to the instructions. Often this product contains modified starch. Thanks to this, the product easily dissolves in water without forming lumps. The universal product is suitable for paper and fabric, as well as vinyl wallpaper.
- For minor repairs, you can choose a regular universal product in a small tube.
Properties
Products of the Moment trademark are distinguished by durability, water resistance, heat resistance, and solidity. They are not characterized by expansion when drying, shrinkage, and are resistant to oils and solvents. The product has many advantages, which are complemented by wear resistance, instant adhesion and a large assortment.
However, the use of compounds of this brand has its negative sides. Firstly, since they are popular, they are often counterfeited, replaced with harmful, toxic mixtures that do not have the properties of the original. Secondly, the compositions have a specific smell. But you shouldn’t attach much importance to this, since almost no such product has a pleasant aroma. Some adhesives remain on the skin for a long time, but this cannot be called a disadvantage, but rather the consequences of careless use.
The variety of brand products consists of contact, second, wallpaper, mounting, epoxy, and universal adhesives. Don’t also forget about polyurethane foam, sealants (silicone, polyurethane, acrylic), and self-adhesive tape. That is, there is a solution for almost any case. The most popular is a universal-purpose adhesive that provides quick, reliable adhesion to any materials.
What composition is suitable
There are three types of adhesive mixtures that are often used when laying cork panels and tiles.
Acrylic solutions
Acrylic adhesive mortars are often used in the construction industry. The main advantages of such compositions include the fact that they reliably bind materials together and are odorless. However, despite all these advantages, many builders do not recommend using acrylic-type mixtures when working with cork. They gradually destroy the cork coating and deteriorate its strength.
Water based
Most water-based adhesives are produced by foreign manufacturers and therefore are not cheap. However, for people who want to securely attach the cork, it is better to use just such means.
Precautionary measures
Transparent glue “Moment Crystal” is flammable, and therefore when working with it it is important to observe the following safety precautions:
- Do not open package near sources of fire.
- Do not apply adhesive to products that are located near sources of high temperature.
- Do not apply glue to hot surfaces.
All actions with glue are carried out only in a well-ventilated room (use a hood or through ventilation). During long-term work, even with forced ventilation, you should wear a respirator. You should work with gloves and special clothing. If the adhesive gets on your hands or other areas of the skin, they should be washed with a large amount of soapy water. If the product gets into the eyes or other mucous membranes, rinse it out and immediately seek medical help.
How to store glue? The product should be stored only in original packaging that is tightly closed. The storage location should be located out of the reach of pets, children, sunlight and possible heating. It is desirable that the temperature should be no less than room temperature, but freezing of the adhesive composition is also allowed (after defrosting it retains its properties). Temperature standards for storage are from -21 to +31 degrees, and the period is up to two years. Also, under no circumstances should the used adhesive packaging be thrown into the fire, and it should be disposed of along with household waste. If the recommendations are followed, the adhesive composition does not pose a danger to human health and life.
