“Moment Crystal” will help to properly glue polyvinyl chloride, plexiglass, polyurethane, as well as cork, ceramics, wood, rubber and metal surfaces. This adhesive is not suitable only for dishes and any products that come into contact with food products, polyethylene, Teflon and styrofoam.

Components and characteristics

Moment Crystal adhesive consists of acetate, acetone, polyurethane as a base and stabilizing substances; thanks to these components, the product is water resistant and has excellent performance characteristics. Does not contain toluene.

Properties:

• the composition is transparent in liquid and solidified form;
• resistant to atmospheric factors due to the polyurethane base;
• the seam crystallizes during the hardening process, which ensures an increased degree of adhesion of surfaces;
• characterized by water resistance, which allows the product to be used for repairing shoes and rubber boats;
• resistant to diluted alkalis and acids;
• frost-resistant;
• the formed seam tolerates temperatures from –40 to +70° C;
• the optimal temperature range for working with the product is from +18 to +25° C, dry warm air accelerates the crystallization process; in the cold, solvents evaporate more slowly, so polymerization is inhibited;
• It is allowed to work with the material at a temperature not exceeding +70° C.

The composition is flammable, so you should work with it away from open fire. The room must have good ventilation, since inhaling vapors from Moment Crystal glue can cause hallucinations, dizziness, and in rare cases, provoke vomiting and nausea. If the substance gets into your eyes, you should immediately seek help from a doctor.

After defrosting, the product restores its original consistency and properties; the manufacturer recommends storage in the temperature range from –20 to +30° C. The shelf life of the product is 24 months.

Advice! Safety will be ensured by a hermetically sealed tube; upon contact with air, the glue quickly dries, crystallizes and becomes unusable. It will not be possible to return it to its original state.

The product is packaged in tubes of 30 ml (one corrugated box contains 35 tubes) or 125 ml, 750 ml cans and 10 liter canisters.

Instructions for use

In its liquid and frozen state, Moment Crystal is transparent. Instructions for gluing materials:

1. Before joining sections, thoroughly clean and degrease them.
2. Apply glue to both surfaces to be joined and leave on outdoors for a quarter of an hour.
3. A visible film should form on the surface of the adhesive layer; before joining, touch it with your fingers - it should not stick to them or stretch. If the material is highly absorbent, reapply the composition.
4. Connect the sections by pressing them together as tightly as possible in the first seven seconds. After this, their position cannot be corrected.
5. Make sure to press from the center of the area to the edges to avoid air accumulation at the seam.
6. The product can be used after 24 hours.

The approximate consumption when applied to both areas being connected is from 250 to 350 g/m2.

Advice! According to reviews, “Moment Crystal” is practically indestructible, very durable and reliable, and the quality of the formed seam corresponds to that declared by the manufacturing company.

When working, it is often necessary to remove squeezed out excess or eliminate random stains. How to clean Moment Crystal:

• Clean tools from any remaining product immediately after use using gasoline;
• The same solvent can be used to remove fresh Moment Crystal stains;
• Dried glue from fabric can only be removed by dry cleaning; from other materials - with gasoline.

In everyday life, universal glue “Moment Crystal” is indispensable. It helps to glue the most different materials, ranging from ceramics to rubber. But the main advantage of this product is that traces of gluing are almost invisible. The composition is deservedly popular - it has high quality and excellent performance properties.

Compound

The adhesive has a complex chemical composition, created when using latest technologies, which determines its main properties. This is a product that allows you to form a high-strength seam that is resistant to aggressive influences (including mechanical).

The product includes the following main components:

• inorganic heterochain polymers of the polyurethane group obtained by high-temperature synthesis;
• ethyl acetate (ethyl ester of ethanoic acid);
• dimethyl ketone or acetone;
• stabilizing additives.

Thanks to stabilizers, the adhesive is highly resistant to moisture. As the adhesive layer hardens, it crystallizes, which increases the strength of the connected joints several times.

The products are packaged in tubes of 125 ml and 30 ml. You can also purchase glue in 750 ml cans and 10 liter canisters. The latter option is especially convenient if large volumes of repair work are planned.

Properties

Polyurethane adhesive is capable of gluing rigid and soft materials from polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride and other types of synthetic polymer products. It can also be used for gluing wood materials, natural plant cork, organic glass from acrylic resin, metal, ceramic and porcelain products, rubber, paper and cardboard.

Basic technical and performance characteristics product:

• the product is a transparent gel that remains colorless even after hardening;
• suitable for gluing various combinations materials;
• It is a water-resistant composition, therefore it can be used for products made of natural and synthetic rubber (rubber);
• not subject to aggressive alkaline and acidic effects;
• has the ability to crystallize during hardening, ensures ideal adhesion to surfaces;
• has high strength properties and does not leave dirty marks or stains after processing;
• processed seams are not affected by high and low temperatures(from -40 to +70 degrees);
• To remove excess adhesive, you do not need to use solvents - they can be removed mechanically or roll it with your fingers.

A special feature of the glue is the restoration of its necessary properties after freezing. It is able to regain its original consistency at room temperature.

The universal Moment Crystal gel can dry out, crystallize prematurely and become unusable only if the seal of the package is broken. Storage of the product involves average temperature from -20 to +30 degrees for 24 months.

There are two main limitations in using glue:

• it cannot be used for gluing dishes used for food;
• it is not suitable for repairing products made of polypropylene, polyethylene and Teflon.

Instructions for use

The adhesive, having maximum adhesion, sets instantly, because the composition is recognized as the highest quality and durable among analogues. However, before use, as stated in the product description, it is necessary to prepare the surfaces to be joined. If it is metal, it should be cleaned of scale, rust, dust and dirt. After this, it is advisable to sand the coating with any abrasive and wipe it, clearing it of small particles. Then you can degrease the material with acetone or gasoline.

The composition is applied in an even layer only to dry, clean surfaces and left until a thin but noticeable film forms on them (for 20-25 minutes). If the products being processed are highly porous, the glue may be well absorbed, so it will have to be applied again.

Before joining the coatings, you need to make sure that the transparent film is in the desired consistency. If it does not stick to your hands, then you can connect the sections. This must be done quickly, with strong pressure - the strength of the seam depends on this. The closure must be uniform over the entire surface area to prevent air bubbles from forming.

For maximum strength, it is not the duration of pressure that is important, but its strength, so gluing must be done as carefully as possible. Press the surface for 5-7 seconds. After this, it will no longer be possible to make adjustments. To create optimally uniform pressure when gluing, professional craftsmen recommend using an ordinary rolling pin or bottle. You can use the product after repair a day later, when the polymerization of the adhesive composition is completely completed.

Usually the glue does not leave stains, but sometimes it is necessary to remove its residues accidentally hit the surface. This needs to be done quickly. Fresh dirt can be removed with a clean finger. Dried stains can be removed using gasoline or acetone (with the exception of fabrics that will have to be taken to the dry cleaner).

Security measures

When using the product, do not forget that the product is flammable, so all gluing work should not be carried out near fire sources. It is also advisable to ensure maximum ventilation in the room.

In some cases, fumes from the adhesive composition can cause an allergic reaction, dizziness, attacks of nausea and vomiting in people with hypersensitivity. It is unacceptable for the product to come into contact with the skin and mucous membranes of the eyes.

If the substance accidentally comes into contact with exposed parts of the body, rinse them immediately with plenty of warm running water.

Thanks to the presence of these components, the adhesive is highly water resistant and suitable for use in environments with high humidity. The product is absolutely transparent, as a result of which the junction of the elements is almost invisible. During the drying process, the composition crystallizes, which ensures a high degree of adhesion of the parts and guarantees the durability of the connection. The glue is highly resistant to heat and frost and tolerates alkalis and dilute acids well.

Glued items can be used at temperatures from -40 to 70 degrees without the risk of seam deformation or mutual displacement of parts. The optimal temperature range for installation work is considered to be a range of plus 18-25 degrees, but if necessary, gluing can be carried out at both lower and higher temperatures.

If work with the composition is carried out under extreme conditions, it must be taken into account that the drying of the glue depends entirely on the time of evaporation of the solvent. The slower this process takes place, the longer it will take to completely polymerize the seam.

“Moment Crystal”, like many other compounds in this category, is a flammable substance. Therefore, gluing work should be carried out away from open flame sources and in the presence of good ventilation if installation is carried out indoors. The glue density is 0.88 g/cm3, and the average consumption, provided the composition is applied to both surfaces, varies from 250 to 350 g/m2. The product can be stored at temperatures from -20 to 30 degrees and, if frozen, quickly restores its properties after thawing. The shelf life of the adhesive is limited to two years, subject to temperature regime storage The glue is available in 30 and 125 ml tubes, as well as 750 ml cans and ten-liter canisters.

Performance properties and performance characteristics

The product is used for gluing huge amount materials, 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.

Basic technical specifications means:

• 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.

When using "Moment" you need to be careful; it is highly flammable due to the presence of solvents in the composition. If you do not follow the manufacturer's recommendations for operating temperatures, the quality and performance characteristics of the adhesive joint will change, and it may become deformed.

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. For plastic, there is not a ban, but a limitation: it is important to drop a little “Moment” onto an inconspicuous area and evaluate the reaction of the material within 30 minutes. If there is no yellowing or warping of the material, you can safely use glue for work.

Scope of application

The instructions say that the best adhesion performance is achieved when using glue on materials such as PVC (hard, soft), porcelain and ceramics, polystyrene and plexiglass, ordinary glass. The glue is also used for gluing products made of leather (natural, artificial), fabric and cork, cardboard and paper, foam rubber and rubber.
