• 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.

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 vegetable 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 stain, but sometimes it is necessary to eliminate its remnantsthat 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.

In contact with

Polyurethane waterproof Moment Crystal is one of the many adhesives manufactured by Henkel. The products of this enterprise are well known all over the world, and production facilities are located in many countries. Henkel Era LLC, located in the city of Tosno in the Leningrad Region and has been operating in the concern since 1991, has been producing Moment glue in Russia.

Specifications

Moment Crystal glue contains stabilizing substances, hetero-chain polymers of the polyurethane group, ethyl acetate and acetone. Due to the presence of these components, the adhesive has high water resistance and is suitable for use in environments with high humidity. The tool is absolutely transparent, as a result of which the junction of the elements is almost imperceptible. In the process of drying, the composition crystallizes, which provides a high degree of adhesion of the parts and guarantees the durability of the connection. The glue is highly heat and frost resistant and tolerates the action of alkalis and dilute acids.

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

If work with the composition is carried out in extreme conditions, it must be borne in mind that the drying of the adhesive completely depends on the time of evaporation of the solvent. The slower this process takes place, the more time will be required for the complete polymerization of the weld.

Crystal Moment, like many other compounds in this category, is a combustible substance.  Therefore, gluing work should be carried out away from open flames and in the presence of good ventilation, if the installation is carried out indoors. The adhesive density is 0.88 g / cm3, and the average consumption, subject to the application of the composition on both surfaces, varies from 250 to 350 g / m2. The product can be stored at temperatures from -20 to 30 degrees and in case of freezing it quickly restores its properties after thawing. The shelf life of the adhesive is limited to two years, subject to the storage temperature. The form of glue release is represented by tubes of 30 and 125 ml, as well as cans of 750 ml capacity and ten-liter canisters.

Advantages and disadvantages

A large number of positive reviews and high consumer demand for Moment Crystal glue due to a number of its undeniable advantages:

• comfortable price and consumer accessibility make the tool very popular in everyday life and in the household;
• increased strength and durability of the connection allow the use of glue to work with parts subject to moderate mechanical and vibration loads;
• the absolute transparency of the seam explains the widespread use of glue for the repair of home furnishings and souvenirs;
• the possibility of combinational bonding, which allows you to combine materials in various combinations, significantly expands the scope of the composition and makes it even more popular;
• glue does not possess toluene, therefore the use of the composition for other purposes is excluded.

The disadvantages of the composition “Moment Crystal” include restrictions on bonding of objects in contact with food, and an unpleasant odor due to the presence in the composition of the solvent.

Scope of application

Clay "Crystal" is widely used in all areas of economic activity. The tool is suitable for connecting materials of different structure and density to each other in any combination. Using this universal composition, you can glue porcelain, ceramics, plexiglass, fabric, rubber, foam rubber, cork and paper in different versions. Due to its high waterproof qualities, glue is successfully used in the repair of inflatable boats, country pools and shoes.

Despite the wide range of materials that adhere perfectly with CrystalThere are a number of restrictions on the use of this tool. The main one is the inability to work with dishes and other items that have direct contact with food. The glue is also not suitable for bonding Teflon, polyethylene and polypropylene parts.

Instruction for use

In order for the bonding to turn out to be strong and durable, it is necessary to adhere to a number of rules that can be found in the description of the product on the package. The main guarantee of the strength of the joint is the thorough preparation of the working bases. To do this, both surfaces must be cleaned of mechanical impurities, dusted and must be degreased with gasoline or acetone. After the bases are ready, you should carefully open the tube, holding it in an upright position. This will help prevent glue from spreading and keep your hands and packaging clean.

Next, you need to apply the gel on both surfaces and leave for 10-15 minutes.  If the material has a porous structure and quickly absorbs the composition, the application should be repeated. After the specified time, it is necessary to connect the glued parts with force and hold them in this position for several seconds.

At the time of connecting parts to each other, it is possible to adjust their location, which is very important when gluing interior items and souvenirs. After a day, the product is completely ready for use.

Precautionary measures

When working with Moment Crystal glue, one should not forget about personal safety measures. The product belongs to the class of flammable materials, so its use near an open flame is strictly prohibited. Before starting work, it is necessary to open the windows or turn on the ventilation. In the process of working with glue, it is important to prevent it from getting on the skin of the hands and mucous membrane of the eyes. In case of accidental contact, the skin should be washed with plenty of warm water. Keep the package with the “Moment” in places inaccessible to children and animals. Clean the tools from glue with gasoline immediately after the end of work. If the product gets on the fabric, it is recommended to dry clean the product.

Due to its high quality, ease of use and low cost, Moment Crystal has practically no equal adhesives in its category. Being an indispensable assistant in the household and household, it allows you to quickly and accurately repair any product and extend the life of your favorite things.

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.
