Glue application
Cosmofen brand adhesives (manufacturer Weiss, Germany) can be used indoors and outdoors - the composition is not afraid of exposure to high and low temperatures, atmospheric changes, humidity. Even with prolonged use, such products do not turn yellow, do not crack, including when the season changes, the influence of the sun.
What glues the composition? It best fastens such materials:
- metal;
- plastic;
- leather;
- glass;
- ceramics;
- rubber;
- MDF.
The size of the parts that can be glued is not limited. But there is an important condition - sufficient strength is provided only on fixed joints. If the parts will move, the elasticity of the adhesive is insufficient to maintain the joint at the same time. The areas of use of glue are diverse: you can glue metal profiles, details of plastic windows, repair rubber boats, wetsuits with a tool.
According to the instructions, Cosmofen can glue a wide range of plastic materials, plexiglass, polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene. Glue is used to connect vinyl stretch ceilings, can be used for:
- advertising banners;
- car bumpers;
- chemically treated aluminum surfaces;
- bathroom items;
- shoes;
- toys.
to contents ↑For dishes that come in contact with food, glue should not be used. Despite the absence of toxic compounds, the composition contains chemical components whose effect on the body has not been studied.
Product Features
Cosmofen adhesives are one-component cyanoacrylate based products. This substance allows you to name the glue as "superglue" - it dries in seconds, instantly grasping and sticking even fingers. It’s quite problematic to remove the product from your hands, so you need to be careful when working. Only Cosmofen Duo polyurethane adhesive is two-component, less popular in everyday life.
The main properties of adhesives:
- fast and high-quality gluing of products;
- high strength of the seam;
- ease of application (using a convenient bottle);
- ease of use - just press the parts for a few seconds;
- practicality and profitability;
- ready-made composition, different packaging (from small bottles of 20 - 50 ml to industrial containers).
Technical characteristics of Cosmo adhesives are indicated in the instructions. In appearance, the product is a transparent gel, some compounds are white in color.
Other parameters:
- density - from 0.99 g / cu. cm;
- viscosity - medium (the composition is quite liquid);
- life cycle of the composition after application - 15-60 seconds, maximum setting - in 2-4 minutes;
- the period until final hardening is 16-24 hours;
- temperature during use - above +5 degrees, for the quickest drying temperature should be above +20 degrees;
- air humidity during work - up to 60%;
- the color of the seam after crystallization is transparent, colorless or white.
All adhesives can harden very quickly, because cyanoacrylate is in the composition. It is better to tune in to fast work right away - you may not have time to change the position of the parts.
to contents ↑All brand products are flammable. The manual notes that glues should not be used near an open flame. Ignition occurs at 212 degrees. The compositions must be stored at + 15 ... + 25 degrees, the period is one year.
Assortment of cyanoacrylate adhesives
Brand products have a fairly extensive assortment. All superglue are of good quality, functional and very durable after hardening. Everyone can be considered a universal tool, but it’s better to use what is ideally described.
Cosmofen CA 12
Glue second cyanoacrylate Cosmo CA-500 200 has a different name - Cosmofen CA 12. According to the instructions, it is intended for plastic, as it showed the best results on this material.
Its use is shown in other areas:
- bonding sealing profiles from EPDM, joining them to profiles of PVC, aluminum;
- connection of silicone seals, elastomers, rubber;
- bonding different polymers.
The solidification time of the composition is 16 hours. It has absolute transparency, it is realized in small bottles with a nose for dropping out. How much glue dries? The initial drying time does not exceed 15 seconds.
to contents ↑Cosmoplast 500
Cosmo CA-500.110 or Cosmoplast 500 is another cyanoacrylate second adhesive, which is realized in plastic bottles with the possibility of spot application.
Cosmoplast 500 is suitable for bonding various materials, the seam has high resistance to moisture, temperature, solar radiation, hard and durable.
Most often, glue is used to connect parts made of rubber and plastic. The areas of application of glue are very diverse, here are the main ones:
- gaskets;
- sewer pipes;
- electronics;
- window production;
- shipbuilding, automotive;
- production of machinery, equipment;
- the medicine;
- optics;
- Toys
- Promotional Products.
The tool is not easy to remove, so it is recommended to immediately position the parts correctly. The composition instantly fixes the product, functional strength is achieved soon. The density of the material is 1.05 g / cu. cm, viscosity - 20 mPas. You can peel off the material at temperatures above +80 degrees - this is the temperature limit during operation.
to contents ↑Other adhesives
In the line of tools of the series there are other analogues that have similar characteristics. For example, Cosmoplast 505 or Cosmo CA-500.120 is an adhesive that has a very high curing speed. If you combine the material with the same primer, the strength properties of the adhesive increase.
It is recommended to use it for gluing:
- polyamide;
- polyolefin;
- polyethylene;
- silicone sealants;
- rubber and plastic;
- elastomers.
Glue is used for repairing shoes, gluing orthopedic products, windows, doors, electrical equipment. It is not easy to clean the product - the composition is very quickly fixed, has the highest strength, resistant to ultraviolet radiation.
Cosmo CA-500.130 or Cosmoplast 515 glue is intended for pasting over any bases with a decorative film. Feature - no bubbles after attaching the film. The product becomes dry after 3 minutes, during which time you can manage to fix all possible defects. Glue is widely used in the automotive industry and a number of other areas of production.
Cosmo CA-500.140 or Cosmoplast 516 adhesive is designed for bonding metal parts, for connecting plastic products, rubber seals to each other.
Glue Cosmo CA-500.170 or Cosmoplast 564 - mounting agent used on highly porous surfaces, is widely used for mounting sewers and manufacturing seals.
In addition to those described, Cosmofen plus Heavy-Duty White adhesives, Cosmofen PMMA and a number of other materials are produced in the series.
Instructions for Cosmofen adhesives
Instructions for using this brand are very simple. How to use them exactly:
- First, it is imperative to wipe off any stains, dirt, and remove any burrs or chips from the base.It is necessary to wash them from stains of fat, oil. To remove any dirt use rags, detergents, sandpaper, etc.
- The next step in surface preparation is degreasing. For this, solvents or other degreasing compositions are used.
- Apply glue to one product with a thin layer, immediately press the surfaces against each other. Withstand time according to the instructions - up to 4 minutes.
- Do not operate the item for 16-24 hours, it is better to observe the daily interval.
- Remove excess glue with a knife, carefully cutting them off.
If you need to accelerate the time before the start of operation, you can use the accelerator COSMO SP-860.120.
to contents ↑How to wipe off glue
Dissolving a tool that has not yet had time to dry is much easier than dried. COSMO CL-300.150 cleaner will help to dilute it and remove from surfaces. The already hardened product can be removed mechanically. To do this on a flat surface will help sandpaper, knife and soda.
There is another tool with which you can dissolve glue - Dimexide, a pharmacy drug. Dimexide is applied to the spots of superglue, after a few minutes they will dissolve. How to wipe off stains afterwards? It is best to use a bandage, cotton wool, gauze, a soft cloth. If the spots are extensive, the procedure is repeated several times.
You can wash superglue with Dimexidum, but it is better to dilute it with water. In concentrated form, Dimexide can cause severe burns, use it with caution.
