Glue "Moment": types and characteristics

During construction and repair, as well as in everyday life, we often encounter the need to glue various objects and materials. Today, many manufacturing companies offer a huge number of different types of adhesives for various types of work. Our article is devoted to the types and characteristics of one of the most popular and high-quality adhesives brand "Moment".

Clay "Moment" was developed in the 80s of the XX century in the Leningrad region at the plant "Era". The peculiarity of this product was that it was produced by a domestic manufacturer according to the technology of gluing and licensing the well-proven German brand Henkel in the world, based on the manufacture of household chemicals (cosmetics, detergents, adhesives).

The novelty, produced by Tosno factory "Era", under the name of the brand widely known in the world Henkeldue to its adhesive properties, it quickly gained popularity in the Soviet Union. This was the beginning of the Soviet-German cooperation, which resulted in the creation of the Sovkhenk enterprise in the Saratov Region in 1990.

Today, in the opinion of buyers, Moment glue is an indispensable thing, which has a wide range of applications in everyday life. The Russian-German manufacturer offers a high-quality and safe product, produced at affordable prices in modern packaging. It is worth noting that both the manufacturer and the brand under whose name the products are manufactured are responsible for product safety.

IsThe appearance of the torment series “Moment” began with the release of the composition “Moment-1”. This is a universal classic glue, widely used both in construction and in everyday life, designed to connect dissimilar surfaces, such as wood, metal, leather, felt, and so on. Over time, the series mentioned above has been refined and improved. Nowadays, the product is represented by a line of several types, specially designed for a specific area (repair and construction, decoration and crafts, school and office).

With the active use of products made of polypropylene, ceiling baseboards and foam tiles, it became necessary to develop a special polyurethane adhesive that can glue, rather than dissolve, the substances mentioned. Here, the ideal option would be to choose the Moment Dekostil polymer adhesive, produced in 1 liter bottles. The versatility of this glue is that it can glue not only tile, but also parquet, as well as any PVC products.

In the moment collection there is a special polyurethane adhesive with high strength. It can be one-component and two-component. Polymer structure is responsible for high bonding strength.Single-component products are ready-made glue, consisting of one substance, produced, as a rule, in one tube. Two-component represented by two substances that require simultaneous application or pre-compound. Both substances are presented in different packages.

Two-component adhesive (the so-called cold welding), in contrast to the one-component adhesive, has a more reliable fixation and is suitable for gluing objects subject to strong vibration, water or heat during operation.

However, when working with two-component glue, do not forget that gluing should be carried out quickly, because under the influence of certain temperatures the glue dries almost instantly. Such varieties include epoxy adhesives of the “Moment” series, intended for gluing diverse objects (“Super Epoxy Metal”, “Epoxilin”). “Moment of Epoxylin” is a kind of plasticine, allowing to finish the missing surfaces.

The line of contact adhesives developed for non-absorbent bases is very widely represented. Products contain a solvent, therefore their use is not recommended for bonding items in contact with food.This glue does not dry quickly and has a certain elasticity, which is ideal for gluing, for example, shoes. Moreover, the material of its manufacture does not matter, it can be rubber, leatherette or leather, as well as any other substances used in the shoe industry. In addition, the use of contact adhesives is allowed in construction and repair.

Consider a series of contact adhesives, which feature is a long preservation of adhesive (adhesion) properties.

• Universal Polyurethane "Moment Crystal"produced in a tube 125 ml. Able to glue cloth, paper, foam rubber, glass.
• Extra strong "Moment Rubber", allowing to glue rubber parts not only among themselves, but also to glue them to practically any other surface (metal, concrete, wood, paper). The peculiarity of this glue is that it can withstand the effects of very low and very high temperatures. Resistance to the latter is several times higher.

• "Moment Marathon" can rightly be called shoe glue, which has a special elasticity. It has excellent frost resistance and water resistance.
• "Moment Gel" - it is universal colorless waterproof and frost-resistant glue on the basis of solvents. Unlike the Moment Marathon, it has a special consistency in the form of a gel, which facilitates application, preventing spreading. In this regard, it is indispensable for bonding surfaces that are operated under any tilt.

Moment contact adhesives are not only suitable for use in construction, as noted above, they are also relevant in the manufacture of furniture. Here I would like to mention the models “Moment Joiner” and “Moment Stopper”, the scope of use of which is especially wide: from large construction works to small crafts. Contact "Moment-cork", produced in 1-liter and 30-liter cans and 5-liter cans, is not afraid of exposure to any alkali and allows you to stick any wall and floor coverings.

If reliable rapid bonding is required, the manufacturer has developed a lineup of second compositions.

• Universal "Super Moment", characterized by high strength of the seam.
• "Super Moment Gel" provides not only a reliable connection, but also due to its gel-like shape, the seam is hardly noticeable.
• Heat-resistant and waterproof glue “Super Moment Profi Plus” is endowed not only with reinforced bonding formula, but also packed in a convenient transparent bottle of 5 g. The bottle is screwed down with a cap and has a thin, pointed nose, which makes it easy to apply the composition to the right place. Brush models make it easier to apply.
• Waterproof moment "Second" in the form of a gel allows you to glue any surface in seconds.

In addition to the above-mentioned species, there are several other varieties widely used in everyday life.

• Universal "Super Maxi" in a soft transparent bottle (20 g), allowing to glue wood, plastic. Ideal for a minor repair of windows, floor.
• Extra strong assembly "Moment" MV-50, MV-100. These are the so-called liquid nails, which are an indispensable assistant in the repair, if in the foreground there are issues related to aesthetics. But it should be remembered that the liquid nails "Moment" is not very suitable for bonding metals.

Each type has its own specific qualities, but in general, the manufacturer declared the following basic technical characteristics of the adhesive:

• used for bonding any materials (exceptions and features are noted in the instructions);
• is water resistant;

• long shelf life (provided that the integrity of the package is not compromised);
• when freezing does not lose the gluing properties (it is enough to place in an environment where the temperature will be above +20 degrees).

Scope of glue series "Moment" is very wide. With the help of liquid nails, you can glue, for example, a mirror, tile, ceiling plinth and much more.The use of a special construction gun in working with liquid nails contributes to a more accurate application and economical consumption of glue.

As a rule, repair is closely related to construction. The manufacturer has developed a special line of wallpaper adhesives for all types of coatings. In addition, there are adhesives that have a special pink indicator that allows the desired surface to be lubricated with the highest quality. For gluing different types of wooden products, the collection presented by the models “Moment Instant Grip”, “Moment Joiner Premium”, etc.

If you need to quickly glue large surfaces or reliably “link” dissimilar objects, you need to be aware of the unusually fast effect of fixing glue connected to ordinary baking soda.In this way, you can easily repair even the cracked bumper of the car.

Designers or needlewomen want to remind you that for metal, leather, glass, rubber and any other materials there is a kind of glue. In this case, you should pay attention to the universal adhesive "Econ Polymer", which is available in tubes, cans and bottles of different sizes. The manufacturer has not bypassed the development of stationery. In the assortment you can find paper glue and PVA in various versions (pencil and liquid adhesives, produced in tubes, large and small bottles).

In the application of "moment" is simple however, some precautions must be observed.

• It is a flammable substance. It is strictly forbidden to carry out work near a fire.
• A series of "Super" is able to carelessly glue fingers together with careless use. If you have a similar case, do not panic and do not try to quickly spread your fingers, but try to hold them in warm water or moisten with acetone.
• The adhesive has a specific, rapidly eroding odor, which is absolutely harmless, since it does not contain hazardous substances.
• To ensure good adhesion, the surfaces must be cleaned well before applying the adhesive. After that we apply glue to one of the sides (it is better to lubricate the most uneven side), selected according to the instructions, for some time we hold it so that the glue has time to grab.
