Liquid nails: application, advantages

Liquid nails are the mounting glue that appeared on the Russian market in the nineties. The building glue differs from the usual in the presence of a fine fraction filler. The basis of liquid nails is rubber in combination with polymers and special clay.

Types of liquid nails

They produce two types of mounting glue: on water and neoprene.

The basis of the nails on the water is acrylate latex. This type of glue is completely harmless and environmentally friendly. It has only a slight smell. The main drawback of such nails is the instability to low temperatures. The glue is destroyed after freezing and subsequent defrosting. Such nails are less strong, in comparison with organic, and do not freeze longer. They can not be used to fasten metal parts.

Liquid neoprene nails, made on the basis of organic solvents, have high strength and are resistant to low temperatures. This type of glue has a sharp odor and is toxic. When working with it, wear gloves and constantly ventilate the room.

In addition, liquid nails can be divided according to the level of strength, resistance to fungi and temperature changes, the time of congealing, the scope. For example, the adhesive for fastening ceramic tiles in the bathroom quickly seizes and is characterized by increased moisture resistance, strength, elasticity, durability. Bonding of mirrors occurs with the help of glue, which has a special transparency.

Application

Liquid nails are designed to fasten building materials, and do not need to make holes, as is the case with conventional nails. The glue is applied by dots or narrow strips using a gun or a construction syringe.

In order to make the connection durable, the surfaces of the fastened elements must be prepared, that is, cleaned of dust, dirt, degrease and dry. Then apply liquid nails to the substrate, allow it to stand for one or two minutes, apply a glued part to it and press it, while slightly turning so that the glue spreads evenly. Adjust the position of the parts for the next 15 minutes. Full drying occurs in 24 hours.

Working with liquid nails requires accuracy. The glue must not get on foreign objects. If this happens, you need to try to remove it as soon as possible. To do this, use a white spirit and a soft spatula. If the glue is already dried, you will need a sandpaper or a hard spatula.

Benefits

What are the advantages of liquid nails? The use of glue allows not to spoil the fastened surfaces. Do not drill holes in hard materials. Nails are easy to use: they are easily applied with the supplied gun or mounting syringe. Versatility and high anti-corrosion properties are the most important qualities that the mounting adhesive has. Liquid nails are used to bond parts from different materials and can be used in any situation.
