  • warm dry air accelerates crystallization, while in cold air solvents evaporate slowly.

There are 2 main limitations for use:

  • it is forbidden to use it for dishes;
  • it is forbidden to use polypropylene, polyethylene and teflon products for repair.

Instructions for use

The instructions for working with the Moment are as follows:

  • To connect the surfaces, they are first thoroughly dried and cleaned with fine-grained sandpaper.
  • After cleaning, the surface is degreased with gasoline or acetone, then applied in an even layer.
  • Both surfaces are covered with the composition. Leave them outdoors for 15 minutes. A film should appear on the surface. Before connecting, you need to touch it with your fingers - if it does not stretch and does not stick, then you can connect. If the materials absorb well, then the composition must be applied a second time.
  • Press the parts firmly and support for a few seconds. The effectiveness of the operation depends on the applied effort. After 7 seconds, the position cannot be corrected.
  • It is important to press from the center to the edges so that air cannot accumulate in the central part, impairing adhesion.

Using an adhesive
  • You can use the repaired product after a day.
  • As a result, with the help of the Crystal, a high-strength compound is obtained, which is resistant to wear, negative influence high temperature, solutions of acids and alkalis and moisture.

According to reviews, the Crystal is reliable and durable. The quality of the seam obtained corresponds to that declared by the manufacturer.

It is important to remember during work that it is highly flammable. All operations with it are carried out away from sources of fire, only in a room with good ventilation.

Also, in order to comply with safety measures, it is recommended to carry out work in overalls. If the Crystal gets on an open skin surface, it provokes a burning sensation, irritation, and a local allergic reaction.

During work, it is necessary to remove excess, accidental stains. You can wipe them off in the following ways:

  • you can clean tools with gasoline;
  • gasoline also helps remove fresh stains on clothing;
  • dried glue is removed from fabrics only in dry cleaning, from other materials - with the help of gasoline.

The quality of the Moment Crystal corresponds to what the manufacturer claims. In every home, you should have such glue so that you can use it in case of unforeseen circumstances and fix the thing.

In contact with

Bonding polymer products can be a real challenge, since they are rather difficult to handle with this type of processing. It is much easier to twist them with bolts or solder them, but in some cases this type of connection is unacceptable and you have to look for alternative options... Clay "Moment Crystal" 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 stick to each other. You won't be able to use this adhesive for polyethylene and polypropylene, but otherwise it will work well for any composite polymers.

The composition of the glue

Each substance receives its properties from the interaction of its constituent components. Each glue is a mixture of a large number of polyatomic chemical compounds that are processed in a specific way to form 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 a 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 on your own at home. The glue got its name for its crystallizing properties after solidification. It forms a very strong adhesive seam, which is not subject to the influence of most destructive factors. It will often be much easier to break the piece elsewhere than at the seam.

Application area

Universal glue "Moment Crystal" can be purchased in the store building materials 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 join cardboard, rubber, ceramics, metal, wood, glass, paper, cork, 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, wash it off immediately with plenty of warm water.

If the substance gets into the eyes, immediately consult a doctor. Inhalation of glue vapors causes hallucinations, dizziness, and sometimes nausea and vomiting. And getting the substance inside digestive system can be fatal. Therefore, you need to keep the glue out of the reach of children and pets.

Main characteristics

Before buying, it is worth making 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. Possesses a transparent color, both in liquid and in a solidified state.
  • 2. The polyurethane base adds additional resistance to the damaging effects of weathering. Therefore, the glue can also be used for products intended for outdoor use.
  • 3. Provides a high degree of adhesion of parts due to the crystallization of the seam.
  • 4. It is characterized by water resistance, so they can glue, for example, a rubber boat or boots, repair shoes and other products that, due to their duty, have to periodically come into direct interaction with water.
  • 5. It can be stored for two years at temperatures from -20 to +30 degrees Celsius. The main prerequisite 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 ordinary defrosting, but after it crystallizes, it remains only to throw it into the trash.
  • 6. It burns well, therefore work should be carried out only away from open sources of fire. It can be operated at a temperature of no more than 70 degrees.

Release form and price

The Moment Crystal glue is packed in 30 and 125 milliliter tubes. In this case, there are options for completing a show box or a blister card. This does not in any way affect the safety, so you should only choose based on the convenience of work. Both types of packaging are equally found in stores, so you won't have to search for a long time. The type of packaging has little or no effect on the price.

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

According to reviews about the Moment Crystal glue, the life cycle of items repaired with it will be less than that of the substance itself. It is practically indestructible, incredibly reliable and durable. The quality is fully consistent with that declared by the manufacturer. In every house, it is worth keeping a few tubes of glue just in case, so that if necessary, you can quickly fix a broken item.

The price of Moment Crystal glue is, respectively, 60 and 240 rubles for a large and small package. Slight fluctuations around the indicated value are possible.

Moment Kristall waterproof polyurethane is one of the numerous adhesives produced by Henkel. The products of this enterprise are well known all over the world, and production facilities are located in many countries. In Russia, the production of Moment glue is handled 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 Moment Crystal glue contains stabilizing agents, heterochain polymers of the polyurethane group, ethyl acetate and acetone. Due 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 practically 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 adhesive is highly heat- and frost-resistant and tolerates well the action of alkalis and dilute acids.

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

If the work with the composition is carried out in extreme conditions, it must be borne in mind that the drying of the glue completely depends on the evaporation time of the solvent. The slower this process takes place, the longer it will take for the joint to fully polymerize.

"Moment Crystal", like many other compounds in this category, is a flammable substance. Therefore, bonding work should be carried out away from sources of open fire and with good ventilation if installation is carried out indoors. The density of the glue is 0.88 g / cm3, and the average consumption, provided that 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, subject to compliance temperature regime storage. The form of release of the glue is presented in tubes of 30 and 125 ml, as well as in cans with capacities of 750 ml 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 indisputable advantages:

  • comfortable cost and affordability make the product very popular in everyday life and household;
  • increased strength and durability of the connection allow the use of glue for working with parts subject to moderate mechanical and vibration stress;

  • the possibility of combinational gluing, which allows you to connect materials in various combinations, significantly expands the scope of the composition and makes it even more popular;
  • the glue does not contain toluene, therefore, the use of the composition for other purposes is excluded.

The disadvantages of the "Moment Crystal" composition include restrictions on gluing objects in contact with food, and bad smell due to the presence of a solvent in the composition.

Scope of application

Moment Crystal glue is widely used in all spheres of economic activity. The tool is suitable for connecting materials of different structure and density to each other in any combination. With this universal compound, you can glue porcelain, ceramics, plexiglass, fabric, rubber, foam rubber, cork and paper into different options... Due to its high waterproof qualities, the glue is successfully used in the repair of inflatable boats, country pools and footwear.

Despite the wide range of materials that perfectly adhere with the help of "Kristall", there are a number of restrictions on the use of this tool. The main one is the impossibility of working with dishes and other objects that have direct contact with food. The adhesive is also not suitable for bonding Teflon, polyethylene and polypropylene parts.

Instructions for use

In order for the gluing 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 package. The main guarantee of the strength of the connection is the careful preparation of the working bases. For this, both surfaces must be cleaned of mechanical impurities, dust must be removed and must be degreased with gasoline or acetone. After the bases are ready, you should carefully open the tube, keeping it in an upright position. This will help prevent glue from spilling out and 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, the application should be repeated. After the specified time has elapsed, 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 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.
