Aerosol adhesive spray - types and application of formulations

Repair of household and technical products often requires glue. For bonding parts can be used various means that differ from each other by type, composition, properties and form of release. Aerosol adhesive has recently appeared on the market. This tool is very convenient to use, and the effect is not inferior to conventional formulations.

What is aerosol adhesive - description

Glue in a balloon or aerosol glue is a universal fixing agent suitable for bonding homogeneous and multifactorial materials. The peculiarity is the form of release - it is sold in bottles with a spray, representing a glue spray. Due to this, it has the following advantages:

• easy application;
• creating a thin, even layer;
• the ability to adjust the thickness of the seam;
• drawing on large areas, in hard-to-reach spots, if required;
• lack of need for purchase of rollers, spatulas;
• economical consumption;
• long shelf life (due to the tightness of the package);
• transparency of the composition, the possibility of application even on non-ferrous products;
• lack of spots, smudges, stains after drying;
• ability to replace double sided tape.

In composition, the glue in the aerosol does not differ from analogues, the only difference is that it does not need to be squeezed out, poured from tubes, bottles. Despite the higher cost, such tools are very popular, because even in the most remote corners of the parts they create reliable, durable connections. Most aerosol adhesives have a high level of adhesion to different surfaces, and have a quick setting time. As they dry, they do not warp the fabric and other delicate materials, are almost invisible on the products.

Application area

Using this glue, you can fasten parts from a variety of materials. It is great for fabric, foam, wooden elements, because it is widely used in furniture production. It is also used for gluing plastic trim to furniture.

In creativity with aerosol glue you can fasten paper, cardboard, plastic, polymers, foil, polyethylene, create complex shapes and designs. In everyday life, metal, glass, and ceramics are glued. It helps to create a strong, but flexible connection, seals areas of leaks. In construction, glue spray allows you to work with such products and materials:

• aerated concrete;
• foam blocks;
• insulation;
• artificial fibers;
• vinyl and PVC panels;
• heaters, etc.

Glue-aerosol is useful to those who have a car: with it, repair interior elements made of plastic and carpet, fixing vibration isolation, finishes, even connect metal with plastic parts. In addition, with the help of this tool you can glue rubber, leather (natural, artificial).

Properties and composition

The adhesive may contain any components that are in other adhesive products. Most often, adhesives have a rubber base, which is diluted with organic and other solvents. Also on sale there are funds on a different basis - polyurethane, butadiene styrene, neoprene. For creativity, they usually buy water-based adhesives with acrylic resins in the composition. Any glue in the spray contains liquefied gas, which ensures its exit to the surface.

The properties of adhesives are as follows:

• quick drying, no need for a long fixation of products;
• high degree of adhesion, strength;
• heat resistance, some products have frost resistance;
• sparing attitude even to delicate materials;
• moisture resistance (for individual products);
• no damage due to ultraviolet radiation;
• elasticity.

Types of glue

Glues in sprays are divided depending on the properties, purpose, scope of application into the following types:

• For rubber. It has rubber in the composition, does not destroy the structure of rubber, does not cause its damage, drying out, delamination.
• For metal or plastic. Typically, such tools have the same composition, since they require approximately the same degree of strength.
• For carpets, carpet. They are used directly for laying such coatings, are convenient to use, and reduce the time of work.
• For paper, fabric. These products completely eliminate the appearance of traces on the surface.
• For smooth materials. Most often used for bonding metal, foil, film, polypropylene.
• Universal adhesive. Such a composition is suitable for absolutely all materials, fastens even heterogeneous surfaces.

Instructions for use

Before work, thoroughly clean the base. This is a prerequisite, since without stripping, degreasing, the adhesion of the composition may decrease. They remove all types of contamination, pass through the details with sandpaper, then wipe the base with a solvent, alcohol. You must also make sure that the product is completely dry.

Immediately before work, the glue must be brought into the room so that it warms up, then shake to exclude the appearance of sediment. When spraying, hold the spray at a distance of 15-20 cm from the part strictly parallel to it. Only in this way will the spray be uniform. Usually, two layers are performed, between which a temporary break of 10 minutes is taken.

With high porosity of the material, the applied adhesive layer should be thicker. Similarly, if the weight of the part is significant. When connecting thin materials, it is enough to glue one of them, thick objects process everything from both sides. Complete drying time is 30-60 minutes or more, depending on the type of formulation. To preserve the glue until the next use, upon completion of work, proceed as follows:

• turn the bottle over;
• press the spray gun several times;
• make sure that air comes out of the cylinder;
• flip the bottle again, close it;
• put away from the action of bright sunlight, high temperatures (optimal conditions: + 5 ... + 30 degrees, inaccessible to children a dark place).

Safety and recommendations

Compliance with safety measures when working with glue, as well as with other chemical compounds, is mandatory:

• work only in a well-ventilated area;
• protect hands with gloves, work in overalls;
• do not smoke during work, exclude other possibilities of contact with fire, otherwise the product may explode;
• In case of contact with skin, wash immediately with soap;
• immediately glue clothes soaked with glue;
• Do not put glue near alkalis, acids, near the battery - it may deteriorate;
• tightly close the lid of the adhesive outside of its use.

Do not use glue after the expiration date - the level of adhesion with materials decreases. Some adhesives (for example, acrylic) are almost odorless, but in the presence of organic solvents in the composition, you still need to work with them using personal protective equipment.

Manufacturers Overview

On the market now there are funds from different manufacturers - domestic, foreign.Good users consider adhesives 75 3M, 77 3M Scotch Weld brand, which are designed for bonding light and medium-weight materials. Glues have high adhesion, absolutely transparent.

Another high-quality composition is Done Deal. It is considered universal, suitable for leather, rubber, various fabrics, glass. Often used for auto repair.

Another good glue is SinTex. It contains non-combustible solvents and artificial rubber. The product is heat-resistant, elastic, allows you to apply a thin adhesive seam, provides high bonding strength. Suitable for most well-known materials, including spunbond, cork, felt, car carpet.

Glue "ZM"

The line of products of this brand is based on elastomers, dimethyl ether, a number of solvents - pentane, toluene, cyclohexane. Glues have high water resistance, while being unstable to gasoline, oils. Operating temperatures vary between -30 ... + 100 degrees. The line has universal means, as well as special formulations for individual materials.

Spray glue Multi spray

Aerosol Multi Spray (Multi Spray) is made in England. It is used for gluing metal, wood, veneer, plywood, plastic, and dissimilar materials.
