Titan glue – what can be glued, types, instructions for use

Description and features of Titan glue

Adhesives of the Russian brand “Titan” have been produced since 1992 and have a wide spectrum of action and are considered universal. With their help, you can connect homogeneous and dissimilar materials - the adhesion force will be high in any case. Adhesive compositions "Titan" are used to connect:

wood;
linoleum;
laminate and parquet;
wallpaper;
paper and cardboard;
polystyrene foam;
plastic;
metal;
concrete;
ceramics;
gypsum;
skin;
fabrics;
aerated concrete;
ceiling tiles.

“Titan” will be able to replace a whole set of adhesives for construction purposes: tile adhesive, compositions for laying porcelain stoneware, tile blocks. Polyurethane foam of this brand is used for installing PVC windows, liquid nails and universal glue are used for fixing mirrors, cabinets, and for repairing any household products. Titanium sealants help seal seams and joints in the bathroom and kitchen.

The composition of “Titan” does not spoil materials, is suitable even for different types of plastics, is environmentally friendly and does not harm humans. Adhesives are suitable for interior and exterior use; they are waterproof and do not deteriorate from temperature changes or ultraviolet radiation. After drying, the adhesive joint becomes plastic, elastic, resistant to frost, and has a heat resistance of more than +100 degrees.

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.

Safety precautions when working with chemicals

Before using adhesives, you should familiarize yourself with the safety precautions:

Eye protection. When treating coatings with glue, you need to protect your eyes from the adhesive mixture. To do this, you can use special construction glasses.
Hand protection. Quite often, when using adhesive liquids, your hands get dirty. It is not easy to wash them off of dried product and therefore you need to wear protective gloves that will protect your skin from this substance.
Ventilation. Experts do not advise inhaling adhesive fumes for a long time. It is recommended to regularly ventilate the premises in which work is carried out to fill it with fresh air.
Proper storage. Open containers with glue are contraindicated for storage in areas with food.

Precautionary measures:

Keep away from children! In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and see a doctor if necessary. Should be used in rooms with good ventilation. Do not use in enclosed spaces if the glue consumption exceeds 100 g per 1 sq.m. surface to be pasted.

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:

“Titanium rubber adhesive for roofing” is a roofing composition that reliably fastens metal sheets, tiles, tiles, PVC gutters;
mounting Classic Fix (“Classic Fix”) - a rubber-based product for any interior and exterior work;
installation Hydro Fix - a water-based general construction adhesive used in interior work and for gluing porous materials;
assembly Heavy Duty is a universal tool for finishing work in construction.

The adhesion to surfaces of liquid nails is so powerful that they can become an excellent alternative to metal nails and screws. They are used for fastening tiles and stone, polystyrene and polyurethane, gypsum, cement, brick, cork and other materials. The compositions cannot be applied only to products made of polyethylene, polypropylene and to wet substrates, although after drying the adhesive joint will be moisture resistant.

Powder

Dry powder refers to Titan wallpaper adhesives, which include three varieties - for paper, non-woven fabric, and vinyl. The instructions for use contain all the necessary data on the dilution of the products. They can be easily dissolved in water according to the specified proportions, mixed and after 5 minutes used for their intended purpose. The composition contains additives against fungus and mold, as well as special components that make it easier to adjust the position of the paintings on the wall.

Liquid nails Tytan Professional: features and application

When renovating, interior finishing or decorating premises, there is often a need for reliable gluing of materials. A specialized glue – liquid nails – can be an indispensable assistant in this matter. Such compositions appeared on the market relatively recently, but have already gained popularity among builders due to their numerous advantages.

The products of this brand are of high quality and affordable prices.

Types and scope of use

Tytan Professional liquid nails come in several types. Based on their purpose, they are divided into two types.

Universal. Such compositions are suitable for gluing any materials.
Special purpose products. Such adhesives can be used for certain types of materials. On the packaging of special-purpose adhesives, the manufacturer indicates information about the purposes for which they are intended. These can be compositions for fastening heavy structures or metal parts, for exterior work, for mirrors, glass, for installing foam panels.

Liquid nails also vary in their composition. Adhesives can be made from rubber or acrylic. The first are polyurethane materials with an unpleasant odor caused by synthetic components. Such products are suitable for gluing heavy materials.

To work with such nails, a respirator and protective gloves are required. It is recommended to use rubber adhesives in well-ventilated areas.

Acrylic (water-based) compositions do not contain toxic substances, due to which they are odorless. Such nails cost less than rubber nails, but they do not have increased strength.

Depending on the composition, liquid nails are used for the installation of window sills, cornices, brick structures, various panels, plasterboard products, glass, aluminum, and solid wood. Glue is not recommended for working with damp wood and for creating aquariums.

Advantages and disadvantages

Tytan Professional liquid nails, like other assembly adhesives, have both advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, before purchasing, you should carefully read all the characteristics. The composition has more advantages.

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.

Release forms

The polymer product is available in different forms depending on its purpose.

For mirrors

TYTAN mounting adhesive is made from synthetic resins and is suitable for gluing various mirrors to any surface. The advantage of the product is that it does not harm the fragile and sensitive mirror and works reliably with many materials. The glue is beige in color and has a shelf life of one year.

"Titan Wild"

Titan Wild glue is resistant to high and low temperatures. The product is suitable for all non-inert materials, therefore it is used almost everywhere.

For thermal insulation

For gluing foam plastic, there is a special type of glue that is used for thermal insulation work. The composition is easy to use, sets quickly, and does not require additional dilution. Works well with polyurethane boards and other thermal insulation materials. The product simplifies the work and glues the slabs extremely firmly.

Titan foam also helps to insulate any room, which comes in a package with a reliable modern valve. The foam is in a cylinder and is used to fill various joints, insulate facades and roofs. Modern packaging helps to significantly reduce material consumption.

Mounting adhesive for ceramics and stone

Eco-friendly special purpose Tytan adhesive for ceramic materials and stone sets very quickly. This type is used for gluing to wood, drywall, and other surfaces that quickly absorb glue.

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.

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.

Price of Titan glue and reviews about it

The cost of "Titan" depends on the specific type of product. Typically, universal adhesives are sold at a price of 100-180 rubles per 0.5 liter; in small packaging (25 ml) the products cost 50-70. Adhesive foams have different prices depending on volume and type (300-800 rubles). “Liquid nails” cost 100-450 rubles, the most expensive are those that come with a glue gun.

According to reviews, Titan adhesives are very resistant to moisture. You can literally pour water on the seam, it will not deteriorate. The product is easy to clean from hands and is very convenient to apply to products. The adhesive is ideal for minor and major repairs. Most users recommend “Titan” for purchase; it raises virtually no complaints!

Bonding technology

In addition to choosing a suitable adhesive composition, it is necessary to carry out high-quality preparation of a particular surface. After all, this greatly affects the quality of all work. So, the ceiling or wall must have a solid foundation. If there are areas with loose plaster, it is removed and the resulting holes are covered.

The peculiarity of gluing lies in one important action. To ensure high adhesion quality, apply Titanium glue to the material and press the product tightly to the base. Then carefully tear it off and wait about one minute.

During this time, the glue will thicken a little and dry out. After this, the panel, tile or other material is pressed tightly to the surface. Performing such manipulations will ensure reliable grip.

note

If the glue stains the material being glued, wait until it dries before removing it. This is especially effective if the material being glued is durable, like tiles. If you are gluing polystyrene foam ceiling tiles, you need not to hesitate.

For this you will need a rag. Before removing the glue from the surface, the rag is moistened. Although the composition used is transparent, it can still be seen when exposed to light.
