The main feature of such a composition is a fast setting with various materials, including fabrics. The substance is enough seconds to securely fix the fibers, so sometimes the stain cannot be removed, even if it is noticed almost immediately.
The adhesive itself is high strength.This strength can be fraught with the formation of a hole on a soiled thing. When the glue dries, the structure of the fibers will change, becoming more rigid. Subsequently, the substance may begin to crumble, while due to the heavy-duty connection, it will crumble along with a soiled tissue area.
It also, unlike other types of pollution, is resistant to various manipulations with the help of water of various temperatures. Therefore, it is absolutely useless to wash the stain with water.
