Gluing polymer products can be a real challenge, since they are quite difficult to handle this type of processing. It is much easier to bolt them or solder them, but in some cases this type of connection is unacceptable and you have to look for alternative options. Glue "Moment Crystal" is currently one of the leaders in this matter.

It contains special substances that improve adhesive properties and allow even the most slippery materials to stick to each other. This glue cannot be used 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 its constituent components. Each adhesive is a mixture consisting of a large number of polyhydric chemical compounds that are processed in a specific way to create a finished product.

Transparent glue “Moment Crystal” consists of:

• - heterochain polymers of the polyurethane group;
• - ethyl ester of acetic acid;
• - saturated ketones, in particular acetone;
• - special additives to stabilize chemical properties.

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

Application area

Universal adhesive "Moment Crystal" can be purchased at a 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 connect cardboard, rubber, ceramics, metal, wood, glass, paper, cork, and foam rubber.

The substance is not suitable only for products in direct contact with food. You also need to take precautions when working with it. If some of the glue gets on your skin, you should immediately wash it off with plenty of warm water.

If the substance gets into your eyes, consult a doctor immediately. Inhaling glue vapors causes hallucinations, dizziness, and sometimes nausea and vomiting. If the substance enters the digestive system, it can be fatal. Therefore, you need to store the glue out of the reach of children and pets.

Main characteristics

Before purchasing, 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 frozen states.
• 2. The polyurethane base adds additional resistance to the damaging effects of atmospheric factors. Therefore, the glue can be used, among other things, for products intended for outdoor use.
• 3. Provides a high degree of adhesion of parts due to crystallization of the seam.
• 4. It is characterized by water resistance, so it can be used to glue, for example, a rubber boat or boots, to repair shoes and other products that, due to their duty, periodically have to come into direct contact with water.
• 5. Can be stored for two years at temperatures from -20 to +30 degrees Celsius. The main condition for safety is the tightness of the original packaging. Otherwise, the glue dries quickly and becomes unusable. You can bring it back to life after freezing by regular defrosting, but after it crystallizes, all that remains is to throw it in the trash.
• 6. It burns well, so work should only be carried out away from open sources of fire. Can be operated at temperatures not exceeding 70 degrees.

Release form and price

Moment Crystal glue is packaged in 30 and 125 ml tubes. In this case, options for completing a show box or blister card are possible. This does not in any way affect the safety, so you should only choose based on ease of use. Both types of packaging are equally available in stores, so you won’t have to search for long. The type of packaging has little or no effect on the price.

Instructions for using Moment Crystal glue are given directly on the packaging. The most important thing you need to know: before starting work, both surfaces need to be cleaned and degreased. The glue is applied on both sides, after which it should sit for 15 minutes in the open air. During the first 5-7 seconds after connecting the parts, they need to be compressed with maximum force. The repaired item is ready for use within a day.

According to reviews of Moment Crystal glue, the life cycle of objects repaired with its help will be less than that of the substance itself. It is virtually indestructible, incredibly reliable and durable. The quality fully corresponds to that declared by the manufacturer. Every home should keep several tubes of glue just in case, 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 packages. Slight fluctuations around the specified value are possible.

Polyurethane waterproof “Moment Crystal” is one of the many adhesives produced by Henkel. The products of this company are well known throughout the world, and production facilities are located in many countries. In Russia, the production of Moment glue is carried out by Henkel Era LLC, located in the city of Tosno, Leningrad Region and has been operating as part of the concern since 1991.

Specifications

The composition of Moment Crystal adhesive includes stabilizing substances, heterochain polymers of the polyurethane group, ethyl acetate and acetone. 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 glue is limited to two years, provided that the storage temperature is maintained. The glue is available in 30 and 125 ml tubes, as well as 750 ml cans 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 availability make the product very popular in everyday life and households;
• increased strength and durability of the connection allow the adhesive to be used for working with parts subject to moderate mechanical and vibration loads;
• the absolute transparency of the joining seam explains the widespread use of glue for repairing home furnishings and souvenirs;
• the possibility of combination gluing, which allows materials to be combined in various combinations, significantly expands the scope of application of the composition and makes it even more popular;
• the glue does not contain toluene, so the composition cannot be used for other purposes.

The disadvantages of the Moment Crystal composition include restrictions on gluing items in contact with food, and an unpleasant odor due to the presence of a solvent in the composition.

Scope of application

Moment Crystal glue is widely used in all areas of economic activity. The product 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 properties, the adhesive is successfully used in the repair of inflatable boats, country pools and shoes.

Despite the wide range of materials that can be perfectly bonded using “Crystal”, there are also 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 gluing Teflon, polyethylene and polypropylene parts.

Instructions for use

In order for the bonding to be strong and durable, you must adhere to a number of rules that can be found in the description of the product on the packaging. The main guarantee of the strength of the connection is the careful preparation of the working base. To do this, both surfaces must be cleaned of mechanical impurities, removed from dust and be sure to degrease 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 the glue from spreading and also keep your hands and packaging clean.

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

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

Precautionary measures

When working with Moment Crystal glue, you should not forget about personal safety measures. The product belongs to the class of flammable materials, so its use near open fire is strictly prohibited. Before starting work, you must open the windows or turn on the ventilation. When working with glue, it is important to prevent it from coming into contact with the skin of your hands and the mucous membrane of your eyes. In case of accidental contact, the skin should be rinsed with plenty of warm water. The packaging of Moment should be stored in places inaccessible to children and animals. Tools should be cleaned of glue with gasoline immediately after finishing 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 virtually no equal in its category of adhesive compositions. Being an indispensable assistant in the household and everyday life, it allows you to quickly and efficiently repair any product and extend the life of your favorite things.

To learn how to use glue correctly, see the following video.

In everyday life, the universal adhesive “Moment Crystal” is indispensable. It helps to glue a variety of materials, 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 using the latest technologies, which determines its basic properties. This is a product that allows you to form a high-strength seam that is resistant to aggressive influences (including mechanical ones).

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 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, acrylic resin plexiglass, metal, ceramic and porcelain products, rubber, paper and cardboard.

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;
• 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;
• treated 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 by rolling them 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 packaging is broken. The product is stored at an average temperature of -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.

Brand assortment

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

• "Moment gel" Designed for vertical gluing at home.
• "Super Moment" Provides instant adhesion.
• "Super Moment gel" designed for vertical coatings characterized by increased porosity.
• Series "Moment Montage"– a range of installation products suitable for any working surface.

Today, judging by the reviews, the greatest demand is for the universal waterproof adhesive “Moment” from the manufacturer Henkel. If stored properly, it can be used for several years. At the same time, it does not lose its valuable qualities. The product is inexpensive and glues almost everything (including natural and artificial leather). The glue has only one drawback - a pungent odor, which is explained by the presence of acetone and other active ingredients in the composition, so it is advisable to work with the product with the windows open.

How to make sure that the glue does not leak out of the tube uncontrollably, see the following video.

“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 in contact with food, polyethylene, Teflon and styrofoam.

Components and characteristics

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 Moment Crystal glue vapors 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 in the open air 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 prevent air from accumulating at the seam.
