High-quality bonding of polyvinyl chloride, plexiglass, polyurethane, as well as cork, ceramics, wood, rubber and metal surfaces will help “Moment Crystal”. This glue is not suitable only for dishes and any products in contact with food, polyethylene, teflon and styrofoam.

Components and Specifications

The “Crystal Moment” glue consists of acetone, acetone, polyurethane as a base and stabilizing substances, thanks to these components the product has water resistance and 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 hardening, which ensures an increased degree of adhesion of surfaces;
• characterized by water resistance, which allows you to use the tool for the repair of shoes and rubber boats;
• resistant to diluted alkalis and acids;
• hardy;
• the formed seam transfers temperatures from –40 to + 70 ° С;
• the optimal temperature range for working with the product is from +18 to + 25 ° С, dry warm air accelerates the crystallization process, in the cold, solvents evaporate more slowly, so that the polymerization is inhibited;
• work with the material is allowed at a temperature not exceeding + 70 ° C.

The composition is flammable, so work with it should be away from open flame. There should be good ventilation in the room, since inhalation of vapors of the Moment Crystal adhesive can cause hallucinations, dizziness, and in rare cases provoke vomiting and nausea. If the substance gets into your eyes, you should immediately seek medical 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; when in contact with air, the glue dries quickly, 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 (in one corrugated box there are 35 tubes) or 125 ml, in cans of 750 ml and in cans of 10 l.

Instructions for use

In the liquid and solidified state, Moment Crystal is transparent. Instructions for bonding materials:

1. Before connecting the sections, thoroughly clean them and degrease them.
2. Apply glue to both surfaces to be bonded and leave it outdoors for a quarter of an hour.
3. A visible film should form on the surface of the adhesive layer, before connecting it, touch it with your fingers - it should not stick to them and stretch. If the material is highly absorbent, apply the composition again.
4. Connect the sections, pressing them together as tightly as possible in the first seven seconds. After that, their position cannot be corrected.
5. Press from the center of the patch to the edges to prevent air buildup at the seam.
6. Use of the product is permitted after 24 hours.

The approximate flow rate when applied to both connected areas is from 250 to 350 g / m 2.

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

When working, it is often necessary to remove extruded surplus or eliminate random spots. How to wipe the "Crystal Moment":

• clean tools from residues immediately after use with gasoline;
• the same solvent removes fresh spots of "Moment Crystal";
• dried glue can be removed from the fabric only in dry cleaning, with other materials - gasoline.

Bonding polymer products can be a real test, as they are quite poorly succumbed to this type of processing. It is much easier to screw them together or solder them, but in some cases this type of connection is unacceptable and you have to look for alternative options. Clay "Crystal Moment" is currently one of the leaders in this matter.

It contains special substances that improve the adhesive properties and allow even the most slippery materials to adhere to each other. It will not work to use this glue for polyethylene and polypropylene, but otherwise it is well suited for any composite polymers.

Glue composition

Each substance receives its properties from the interaction of the constituent components. Each glue is a mixture consisting of a large number of polyatomic chemical compounds, which are processed in a certain way to get the finished product.

Transparent Moment Crystal glue consists of:

• - hetero-chain polymers of the polyurethane group;
• - ethyl acetate;
• - saturated ketones, in particular acetone;
• - special additives to stabilize chemical properties.

The structure of the substance is very complex, and the method of preparation requires careful creation of the necessary conditions for the interaction. So it is not possible to make such a glue on your own at home. The glue got its name for crystallizing properties after solidification. It forms a very strong adhesive joint, which is not subject to the influence of most destructive factors. Often it will be much easier to break the product elsewhere than to do it at the seam.

Application area

Universal Moment Crystal adhesive can be purchased at the building materials store and in many supermarkets. It is easy to find by its gray packaging. The material will cost a little more than the standard model, because it has additional properties. But it can also be used to combine cardboard, rubber, ceramics, metal, wood, glass, paper, cork, foam.

The substance is not suitable only for products in direct contact with food. You must also observe safety precautions when working with it. If part of the glue gets on the skin, immediately wash it off with plenty of warm water.

If substance gets into eyes, consult a doctor immediately. Inhalation of glue vapor causes hallucinations, dizziness, sometimes nausea and vomiting. And the ingress of a substance into the digestive system can be fatal. Therefore, you need to keep the glue out of the reach of children and pets.

Main characteristics

Before buying, you should make sure that the glue is really suitable for the intended operation. The properties of the substance can be read below in the form of a detailed list with a description:

• 1. It has a transparent color, both in liquid and in a frozen state.
• 2. The polyurethane base adds additional resistance to the damaging effects of atmospheric factors. Therefore, glue can be used, including for products oriented to street operation.
• 3. Provides a high degree of adhesion of parts due to crystallization of the seam.
• 4. Water resistance is characterized, so they can glue, for example, a rubber boat or boots, repair shoes and other products that, on duty, have to periodically come into direct contact with water.
• 5. It can be stored for two years at temperatures from -20 to +30 degrees Celsius. The main condition for preservation is the tightness of the native packaging. Otherwise, the glue dries quickly and becomes unusable. You can return it to life after freezing by ordinary defrosting, but after it crystallizes, it remains only to throw it into the trash.
• 6. It burns well, so work should only be carried out far from open sources of fire. It can be operated at a temperature of no more than 70 degrees.

Release form and price

Moment Crystal glue is packaged in 30 and 125 milliliter tubes. In this case, options for picking a show box or blister card are possible. This does not affect safety in any way, so it’s worth choosing only based on the convenience of work. Both types of packages are found in stores equally, so you won’t have to search for a long time. The type of packaging does not significantly affect the price or not at all.

Instructions for using the Crystal Momentum adhesive are provided directly on the packaging. The most important thing to know: before starting work, both surfaces must be cleaned and degreased. Glue is applied on both sides, after which it should be infused for 15 minutes outdoors. The first 5-7 seconds after connecting the parts they need to be compressed with maximum effort. The repaired item is ready for use in a day.

According to reviews of the Moment Crystal glue, the life cycle of items repaired with it will be less than that of the substance itself. It is virtually indestructible, incredibly reliable and durable. The quality is fully consistent with the manufacturer. In each house, just in case, keep several tubes of glue, so that if necessary you can quickly fix a broken item.

The price of Moment Crystal glue is 60 and 240 rubles, respectively, for large and small packaging. Slight fluctuations around the indicated value are possible.

Universal waterproof adhesive "Crystal Moment" has many advantages over other means. Its shape is very comfortable, the consistency is optimal. Even when bonding delicate materials, they will not be damaged, and spots of glue on the front side will not appear. Due to the excellent performance characteristics, this adhesive is indispensable in everyday life, it allows you to combine homogeneous and heterogeneous materials.

Also on sale there are specialized tools "Moment" - for rubber, plastic, boats and PVC, cork. Universal material “Moment Gold Standard” is suitable for any material.

The composition of the adhesive "Crystal Moment"

The “moment” consists of complex chemicals, many of which are inventions of the latest generations. The basis is hetero-chain polymers from the polyurethane group. Also, the composition is represented by the following substances:

• ethyl acetate;
• acetone and other saturated ketones;
• stabilizers of other chemicals;
• aliphatic, naphthenic hydrocarbons;
• antioxidant;
• synthetic resins;
• ethyl acetate.

The presence of acetone and other solvents explains the pungent smell of "Moment". Despite the harm of these components and the need to work in protective masks, the manufacturer positions the product as meeting international environmental norms and standards. The most harmful solvent, toluene, was removed from the formulation back in 1998, but fakes that contain this substance are periodically detected on the market.

Performance and performance

The tool is used for bonding a huge amount of materials, has a minimum of restrictions. Drawing on only one side of the part with a thin layer and joining of the elements provides the highest strength of the adhesive joint. This is achieved through excellent adhesion. “Crystal Moment” is transparent, which only expands the scope of its operation, because after gluing the joint will be completely invisible.

The main technical characteristics of the product:

• the recommended temperature during operation with glue is from +15 to +30 degrees (it is possible at a different temperature, although the polymerization time will change);
• operating temperature of products after drying of the adhesive joint - from -35 to +75 degrees;
• high cold resistance - the seam withstands several cycles of defrosting and freezing, the glue in the tube itself also quickly restores its original properties after defrosting;
• consumption - 200-400 g / sq. m (depending on surface type, purpose);
• moisture resistance, the absence of changes in technical parameters even with direct exposure to water;
• resistance to ultraviolet radiation, the influence of dilute acids, weak alkalis;
• optimal adhesive density - 0.88 g / cu. cm.

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

Glue has several restrictions on its use. It is forbidden to use it for the repair of 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” on an inconspicuous area, evaluate the reaction of the material within 30 minutes. If there is no yellowing, warpage of the material, you can safely apply glue for work.

Application area

The manual says that the best adhesion is achieved by using glue on materials such as PVC (hard, soft), porcelain and ceramics, polystyrene and plexiglass, ordinary glass. Also, the adhesive is used for gluing leather products (natural, artificial), fabric and cork, cardboard and paper, foam rubber and rubber. The gluing place will be equally high-quality when applied to wood, metal. Thanks to such a variety of purposes, glue is considered universal.

It is possible to use the "Crystal" for various household, repair, restoration work. Since it is moisture resistant, it is suitable for products in contact with water and other non-aggressive liquids. You can use the tool at home, in the workplace, in the service sector.

Advantages and disadvantages

Glue is now very popular in the market, as it has a lot of advantages and compares favorably with its analogues. Its advantages:

• low price, availability in almost all household, construction, department stores;
• excellent weld strength associated with crystallization of the composition as it dries;
• the ability to use on parts subject to vibration, mechanical stress of moderate strength due to the elasticity of the glue;
• transparency, which determines the suitability for the repair of souvenirs, ceramics, decor, household appliances;
• the possibility of bonding dissimilar materials;
• absence of the most toxic solvent - toluene.

You can wipe the Moment in liquid form without the help of solvents: it simply rolls off the surface, which serves as another plus. The disadvantages include unsuitability for a number of materials, as well as the need to exclude contact with food. Another disadvantage is the unpleasant odor, which is associated with the presence of acetone.

Release form and price

The cost of Crystal Instant glue is 96-120 rubles, depending on the store. The price is for a minimum package of 30 ml. There are several types of adhesives with the same volume of release:

• tube 30 ml;
• 30 ml in a show box;
• 30 ml on a blister card;

Also found on sale is "Crystal Moment" in 125 ml tubes in a show box, sold cans of glue with a volume of 750 ml. In specialized, company, construction stores, at the bases there are cans of 10 liters of glue.

Instructions for use

All glue tips are on the packaging. To obtain a high-quality adhesive seam, the base must be preliminarily prepared - cleaned of dirt, treated with sandpaper with fine grain. To remove grease stains, oil film, both glued surfaces should be degreased.  For this purpose, it is best to wipe them with alcohol, acetone, which will also help remove the remnants of coatings. You can also rinse items with household detergents.

• apply glue to one of the surfaces, if they are homogeneous, and to both, when dissimilar materials are glued together;
• if the bases are porous, repeat the application of glue after a couple of minutes;
• to press products to each other from the center to the edges to prevent air from accumulating, to fix in any convenient way;
• if possible, the use of a special roller for rolling parts is allowed;
• withstand 10-20 minutes;
• leave the product for a day until full operation (to increase the strength of the adhesive joint).

You can only make corrections to the position of parts immediately after they are applied to each other. Separation of objects with immediate re-bonding is allowed. After 5-7 minutes, it will be impossible to do this, you will have to clean the bases from glue and repeat all the manipulations. The manufacturer does not recommend gluing in rooms with high humidity. Despite the moisture resistance of the adhesive joint, at the time of connection it is necessary to exclude the action of a liquid in one form or another.

Sometimes it happens that glue gets on clothes, other objects, on hands. Remove already dried glue with acetone, gasoline. It is better to dry the cloth or try to clean it with powder, detergents, wipe with alcohol. The glue is removed from the tools with gasoline, in which they are soaked for 1-2 hours.

Precautionary measures

The glue is combustible, therefore, when working with it, the following safety measures should be observed:

• do not open the packaging near any sources of fire;
• do not apply glue to products located near sources of elevated temperature;
• do not glue hot surfaces.

All actions with “Moment” are carried out only in a ventilated room (hoods or through ventilation are used). For prolonged use, even with forced ventilation, a respirator must be worn! Work should be in overalls, gloves. If glue gets on your hands, other exposed skin should be washed immediately with plenty of soap and water. If the product penetrates the eyes, other mucous membranes, it is important to rinse them and immediately seek medical help.

Glue storage

Store the product only in the original packaging, tightly closed. The storage place should be located out of the reach of children, animals, sunlight and with the exception of possible heating. It is desirable that the temperature is not lower than room temperature, but glue is allowed to freeze (after defrosting, it will retain its properties). Storage temperature standards - from -20 to +30 degrees, shelf life - up to 2 years.

It is forbidden to throw used packaging from the “Moment” into the fire! It is disposed of with household waste. Subject to all recommendations, the glue does not pose a danger to life, human health.

Very often, minor breakdowns can occur in households, which can be eliminated with a reliable adhesive. In this article you can find everything about Moment Crystal glue: instructions and specifications.

Features

Universal Moment Crystal adhesive is a transparent and water-resistant composition with which you can make reliable and durable compounds of materials of various origins.

It perfectly glues wood, metal, rubber, porcelain and other types of surfaces, providing incredible strength at the junction. Also, this glue is applicable to various types of fabric, since it completely leaves no traces, spots or other defects on the surfaces treated by it.

Modern manufacturers produce Moment Crystal glue in a metal tube, the volume of which is 30 ml and 125 ml.

Crystal glue is transparent and demonstrates high resistance to high humidity and does not change its parameters at small changes in ambient temperature, which provides the composition of "Crystal Moment" huge popularity in the domestic market. This is confirmed by numerous positive reviews from experienced builders and those buyers who prefer to carry out construction and repair work on their own.

Species diversity and characteristics

Universal glue called Moment can cope with almost any material. Moreover, the resulting seam is clean and highly resistant to wear. This provides the substance with great popularity among consumers.

The domestic market of building materials, as well as related products, offers a wide selection of products from this category. Namely:

• universal adhesive “Moment 1” is suitable for a wide range of materials;
• crystal Moment glue is a colorless polyurethane adhesive;
• The “Marathon Moment” is used mainly in the shoe industry;
• “Moment Gel” or glue-gel: has a gel structure;
• "Moment Rubber" is intended for bonding all types of hard and foamed rubber;
• “Moment 88” is particularly durable.

All these types of compositions in tubes of 30 ml and 125 ml according to the manufacturer's instructions are intended for joining various materials and give a person the opportunity to make a truly reliable and durable connection.

It is also important to note that the Moment universal Crystal adhesive should not be used for materials such as styrofoam, polyethylene and polypropylene.

Main components

Clay Crystal Moment 30ml consists of polyurethane, acetone, ethyl acetate and stabilizing substances. It is this composition that provides the substance with excellent performance and water resistance.

It is necessary to store the purchased tube at a temperature of -20 ° С to +30 ° С for no more than two years; over this period, the composition may lose its basic properties. If the tube is frozen in the cold season, it is possible to return the original state to the transparent glue by letting it warm to room temperature.

If the tube is frozen under the influence of low temperatures, the substance will restore its original consistency and basic characteristics in a room with a room temperature.

How to use in practice?

Clay "Crystal Crystal" is transparent and perfectly copes with the task: according to consumer reviews, compounds made with this substance do not lose their strength for a long time.

According to the instructions: to glue the surfaces, they first need to be thoroughly dried and cleaned with fine-grained sandpaper. Then they are degreased with acetone or gasoline, after which an even layer of glue is applied to the material. Moreover, we note that the adhesive composition needs to cover both surfaces, and not just one. This is a common mistake of inexperienced buyers.

Then you need to withstand about 10 minutes and firmly press the connected surfaces for a few more seconds. In this case, the effectiveness of the operation will largely depend on the applied effort, and not on the duration of the pressure.

As a result, you can get a really effective compound of materials of different nature, resistant to wear, the negative effects of high temperatures, humidity or weak solutions of acid and alkali.

When performing work, it is boring to remember, the composition may ignite. Therefore, all operations with it are required to be carried out exclusively far from an open flame source and in a well-ventilated area.

It is also worth considering that all work for human safety should be carried out in special clothing. If Moment Crystal glue gets on an open area of \u200b\u200bthe skin, it can cause irritation, burning, allergies and other disorders of the skin.

Particular care should be taken if children live in the house. Transparent glue Moment Crystal 125 ml should be securely hidden from the hands of the child.

In everyday life, the instant Crystal adhesive is indispensable. It helps to glue a wide variety of materials, from ceramics to rubber. But the main advantage of this tool is that traces of bonding are almost invisible. The composition is well-deservedly popular - it has high quality and excellent performance properties.

Composition

The adhesive has a complex chemical composition created using the latest technology, which determines its basic properties. This product allows you to form a seam of high strength, 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 ethane acid);
• dimethyl ketone or acetone;
• stabilizing additives.

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

Packaging products is carried out in tubes of 125 ml and 30 ml.You can also buy glue in cans of 750 ml and canisters of 10 liters. The latter option is especially convenient if large volumes of repair work are planned.

The properties

Polyurethane adhesive is able to glue hard 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 made of acrylic resin, metal, ceramic and porcelain, rubber, paper and cardboard.

The main technical and operational characteristics of the product:

• the product is a transparent gel that remains colorless even after hardening;
• suitable for gluing various combinations of materials;
• is a water-resistant composition, therefore, it can be used for products from natural and synthetic rubber (rubber);
• not subject to aggressive alkaline and acid effects;
• has the ability to crystallize during solidification, provides perfect adhesion to surfaces;
• possesses high strength qualities, after processing does not leave dirty traces and spots;
• the processed seams are not affected by high and low temperatures (from -40 to +70 degrees);
• solvents do not need to be used to remove excess adhesive — they can be removed mechanically or rolled up with your fingers.

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

Universal Moment Crystal gel can dry, crystallize prematurely and become unusable only if the packaging is not sealed. Storage of the product provides an average temperature of -20 to +30 degrees for 24 months.

There are two main limitations to using glue:

• it can not be used for gluing dishes used for food;
• it is not suitable for the repair of products made of polypropylene, polyethylene and teflon.

Instructions for use

The adhesive, possessing 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 mating surfaces. If it is metal, it should be cleaned of scale, rust, dust and dirt. After that, it is advisable to sand the coating with any abrasive and wipe it, having cleaned 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). With a high porosity of the processed products, the adhesive can be well absorbed, so it will have to be applied again.

Before joining the coatings, make sure that the transparent film is in the right consistency. If she does not stick to her 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 so that air bubbles do not form.

For maximum strength, it is not the pressure duration that is important, but its strength, so gluing must be done as carefully as possible. Pressing the surface is for 5-7 seconds. After that, it will be impossible to make an adjustment. To create an optimum uniform pressure during bonding, professional craftsmen recommend using an ordinary rolling pin or a bottle. You can use the product after repair after a day, when the polymerization of the adhesive composition is completely completed.

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

Security measures

When using the product, do not forget that the product is combustible, therefore, all gluing work cannot be carried out near sources of fire. It is also desirable to provide maximum ventilation in the room.

Vapors of the adhesive in some cases can cause an allergic reaction, dizziness, nausea and vomiting in people with hypersensitivity. It is unacceptable that the product gets on the skin and mucous membranes of the eyes.

In case of accidental contact with the exposed parts of the body, immediately rinse them with plenty of warm running water.

Brand Assortment

In addition to universal glue, the Moment line of products is also represented by other popular formulations.

• "Moment gel"designed for vertical bonding at home.
• Super Momentprovides instant bonding.
• Super Moment Gel  Designed for vertical coatings characterized by increased porosity.
• Series "Moment Installation"- An assortment of installation tools suitable for all work coatings.

To date, judging by the reviews, the universal waterproof Moment glue from the manufacturer Henkel is in greatest demand. When stored properly, it can be used for several years. However, he does not lose his valuable qualities. The product has a low cost, glues almost everything (including natural and artificial leather). Glue has only one drawback - a pungent odor, which is explained by the presence of acetone and other active components in the composition, so it is advisable to work with the product with the windows open.
