1. What is silicone glass glue?
Glass glue, the industry term silicone sealant. It is an adhesive that is more common in construction and daily life and easy to use.
According to its curing mechanism, the reaction characteristics can be divided into two components: two-component and two-component. One-component silicone sealant is cured by contact with moisture in the air and absorption of heat, which is common in the market. A product, mostly used in household decoration, kitchen, bathroom paste, sun-panel glass paste, fish tank paste, glass curtain wall, aluminum-plastic panel paste and other common civil projects.
The two-component silicone sealant is stored separately in groups A and B. The component A is generally white and the component B is black. The two components need to be mixed before curing and bonding can be achieved. This product is generally used for many projects such as hollow glass deep processing manufacturers, curtain wall engineering construction, etc. It is a kind of product that is easy to store and has strong stability.
2. How is the use of silicone glass glue used?
Use
One-component silicone glass adhesive can be used immediately, it can be easily shot from the plastic bottle with a glue gun, and the surface can be finished with a spatula or wood chips.
2. Stick time
The curing process of silicone adhesive is developed from the surface inward. The drying time and curing time of different properties of silica gel are different. Therefore, if the surface is to be repaired, it must be done before the glass glue is dry (acid gel, neutral). The transparent glue should generally be within 5-10 minutes, and the neutral variegated glue should generally be within 30 minutes). If you use a color separation paper to cover a certain place, after applying the glue, be sure to remove it before the skin is formed.
3. Curing time
The curing time of the glass glue increases as the thickness of the bonding increases. For example, an acid glass glue of 12 mm thickness may take 3-4 days to solidify, but within about 24 hours, an outer layer of 3 mm has been solidified. When bonding glass, metal or most wood, it has a peel strength of 20 lbs/in after 72 hours at room temperature.
If the glass glue is partially or completely closed, the curing time is determined by the tightness of the seal. In a closed place, it is possible to remain uncured forever. If the temperature is raised, the glass glue will be softened. The gap between the metal and metal bonding faces should not exceed 25 mm. In all kinds of bonding applications, including sealing, the bonding effect should be thoroughly checked before using the bonded equipment.
During the curing process, the acid glass glue will produce a smell due to the volatilization of acetic acid. This taste will disappear during the curing process and will have no odor after curing.
4. Bonding
A. Thoroughly clean the surface of the metal and plastic, remove the oil, and then rinse the entire surface with acetone except the plastic. The rubber surface is sanded with a sandpaper and then rubbed with acetone. Observe the precautions when using this solvent when using acetone.
B. Apply the glass glue evenly on the surface of the prepared object. If the two surfaces are bonded together, place one side first and then squeeze the other side to squeeze out the air with sufficient force, but pay attention to it. Do not squeeze out the glass glue.
C. Place the bonded device at room temperature until the glass glue is cured.
5. Seal
When the silicone glass glue is used for sealing, it is also carried out according to the above several steps, and the glass glue is forced into the joint surface or the gap to make the glass glue fully contact with the surface.
6. Cleaning
Before the glass glue is uncured, it can be wiped off with a cloth strip or paper towel. After curing, it must be scraped off with a scraper or solvent such as xylene or acetone.
3. How long is the storage period of silicone glass glue?
1. The glass glue should be stored in a cool, dry place, below 30 °C. Good quality acid glass glue can ensure effective storage period of more than 12 months, and general acid glass glue can be stored for more than 6 months;
2. Neutral weathering and structural adhesive can guarantee the shelf life of more than 9 months. If the bottle is already open, please use it in a short period of time. If the glass glue is not used up, the bottle must be sealed. When using it again, the bottle mouth should be unscrewed to remove any blockages or replace the bottle mouth.
4. What is the danger of improper use of glass glue?
Glass glue commonly used in home decoration is divided into two types according to performance: neutral glass glue and acid glass glue.
Many people can easily use neutral glass glue and acid glass glue because they do not understand the performance of glass glue. The glass glue is generally used in the decoration of the bathroom: the dumb mouth on the back of the wood line, the sanitary ware, the toilet bowl, the makeup mirror in the bathroom, the gap between the sink and the wall, etc., these places use different performances of glass glue. .
Neutral glass adhesives have weak adhesion and are generally used on the back of bathroom mirrors where they do not require strong adhesion. Neutral glass glue is used more in home decoration, mainly because it does not corrode objects, and acid glass glue is generally used in the dumb of the back of the wood line, and the bonding force is strong.
It is also very important to use glass glue: be sure to prevent mildew. For example, a lot of glass glue is used in the decoration of the bathroom. The bathroom is very moist and easy to mold, so the glass glue must be mildewproof. Generally, the glass glue bottle will be explained, it must be seen. In addition, some poor quality glass glue does not have such a function at all.
5. How to properly store glass glue?
There are many materials that glass glue can bond, such as glass, ceramics, metal, hard plastic, aluminum-plastic board, stone, wood, brick, cement, etc. This is also a good opportunity for it to show its talents in home decoration. However, the correct storage method is the main factor affecting its performance.
The glass glue should be stored in a cool, dry place below 30 °C. Good quality acid glass glue can ensure effective storage period of more than 12 months. Generally, acid glass glue can be stored for more than 6 months. Neutral weathering and structural glue can guarantee the shelf life of more than 9 months. If the bottle is open, please use it in a short period of time; if the glass glue is not used up, the bottle must be sealed. When using it again, the bottle mouth should be unscrewed to remove all blockages or replace the bottle mouth.
If the storage method is not appropriate, it will cause the glass glue to "fail". This failure is not due to the expiration date, but because of our artificial reasons. Since glass glue is indispensable in the home decoration, we need to master the correct storage method.
