Glue "Moment Joiner": characteristics and scope of use

Glue "Moment Stolyar" is well known in the domestic market of construction chemicals. The composition is produced at the Russian production facilities of the German concern Henkel. The product has established itself as an excellent adhesive, suitable for the repair and production of wood products, is widely used in everyday life and in production.

Special features

The composition of "Joiner" includes polyvinyl acetate dispersion with the inclusion of special plasticizers and additives that improve the adhesive properties of the material and increase the reliability of the compound. In the process of manufacturing the Moment glue, toxic and toxic substances are not used, which makes the material environmentally safe and allows its use in the repair of household items.The chemical safety of the product is confirmed by a quality certificate and certificates of conformity that meet strict European standards.

Due to special additives, the adhesive composition does not violate the structure of wood fibers. After drying, it is invisible. Scope of the tool is quite wide. Glue is successfully used when working with any kind of natural wood, plywood, chipboard and fibreboard, cardboard, veneer and laminate.

Working with the composition is allowed at a temperature above 10 degrees and a relative humidity of not more than 80%. When working at low temperatures, the glue may lose its high adhesive properties, and bonding will turn out to be of poor quality. The average material consumption is about 150 grams per square meter of surface. The dried composition is compatible with all types of paint products, therefore, if necessary, the glued thing can be painted or coated with varnish.

Advantages and disadvantages

High consumer demand for Moment Joiner glue is due to a number of positive material properties.

  • The moisture resistance of the glue allows you to use objects stuck together by the “Joiner" in high humidity conditions.
  • Due to its good heat resistance, the adhesive is able to withstand temperature loads up to 70 degrees. This is very convenient when working with veneered elements that need heating during installation.
  • Excellent adhesion and a short setting time make it possible to quickly form a strong and durable joint. "Joiner" refers to express compositions, therefore, working with it significantly reduces repair time.
  • The time for complete drying of the joint is not more than 15 minutes.
  • The durability of the compound. Glued surfaces will not lose the reliability of adhesion throughout the entire service life of the repaired product.

TO cons can be attributed to low frost composition and certain requirements for wood moisture: use repaired products should be at positive temperatures, and wood moisture should not exceed 18%.

Species

In the modern market of household chemicals, the range of joinery adhesives is represented by five series, differing in composition, conditions of use, time of primary setting and full hardening.

"Moment Joiner Clay Express" - universal moisture resistant product manufactured on a water-dispersion basis and intended for gluing wood of different species, as well as fibreboard and chipboard, veneered products and plywood. Full setting time is from 10 to 15 minutes and depends on the ambient temperature and humidity of the tree.

Glue possesses high moisture resistant properties, does not contain solvent and toluene. The product is suitable for working with paper, cardboard and straw, which allows using it instead of clerical glue for making handicrafts and applications. After applying the composition of the working surfaces must be firmly pressed to each other. This can be done with a vice. Also, products can be flattened with a book or other heavy object.

The tool is available in tubes weighing 125 g, in banks of 250 and 750 g, as well as in large buckets of 3 and 30 kg. Store the glue in tightly closed containers in the temperature range from 5 to 30 degrees.

"Moment Joiner Super PVA" - the optimal solution for gluing various types of wood, laminate, particleboard and fiberboard. Glue is available in red cans, has a transparent structure and is almost not noticeable after drying.The moisture resistance of the material corresponds to the class D2, which allows its use in dry and moderately damp rooms. The joiner's composition is suitable for work with paper-layered types of plastic, straw, cardboard and paper, which allows you to carry out crafts with children without fear of harmful effects. The complete setting of the solution occurs after 15-20 minutes.

"The moment Joiner Super PVA D3 waterproof" - universal mounting compound capable of withstanding repeated freezing and thawing, intended for gluing wood products and laminated surfaces. The water resistance limit is determined by the DIN-EN-204 / D3 index, which indicates the high water-repellent properties of the material and allows the use of repaired products with it in high humidity conditions. The product has proven itself in the repair work in kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, as well as an assembly tool for gluing parquet and laminate.

"Moment PVA Universal Joiner" - glue on a water dispersive basis, suitable for gluing elements made of any wood species, MDF, fiberboard and plywood.The tool has a short setting time, a transparent structure and does not leave color and muddy spots on the tree. The initial strength of the initial setting is 30 kg per cm2, which characterizes the excellent adhesive properties of the product. The main condition is that the surfaces to be glued must be firmly fixed within 20 minutes. Water-dispersion adhesives have a strictly defined amount of water in their composition, therefore, additional dilution of the means for increasing the volume will not work, otherwise the proportions will be broken, and the mixture will lose its operational properties.

"Moment Joiner Instant Grip" - the universal moisture resistant means made on an acrylic water and dispersive basis intended for any wood. The initial setting time is only 10 seconds, which relates the composition to seconds adhesives and requires careful use. The solution is easy to apply and leaves no residue. The product is perfect for gluing wood with metal, PVC with plastic, withstands up to five cycles of short-term freezing.

Packaging

Glue "Moment Joiner" is available in convenient packaging, which is represented by tubes, cans and buckets. Tubes have a 125-gram filling and are suitable for minor repairs to home furniture. Due to the special structure of the tube, it allows to keep the glue consumption under control, as well as to store the residues of the product until reuse. For repair work of an average volume, banks are envisaged, the volume of which is 250 and 750 g. The tight lid also allows you to store balances until the next time.

Large furniture factories buy glue in the buckets of 3 and 30 kg. The tight cover allowing to keep the remains of structure throughout a long time is not provided in them. But, given the volume of production of furniture shops, the need for such storage does not arise. Packaging weight glue "Instant grip" and is 100 and 200 g

Subtleties of application

Repair work with the glue "Moment Joiner" does not require special knowledge. It is enough to carefully read the instructions and strictly follow all the recommendations. Before applying the adhesive composition, it is necessary to carefully prepare the working surfaces, removing dust, chips and burrs from them.If necessary, the parts to be glued should be ground at the joining point. Wooden elements should be clearly matched to each other in configuration. To determine this indicator, it is required to carry out a preliminary dry fitting and, if necessary, adjust the details.

Apply glue to both work surfaces in a thin, even layer. using a soft brush. After 10-15 minutes you should connect the elements, applying the maximum effort. After the installation is complete, the excess glue is removed mechanically. Then the glued structure must be placed under the yoke. You can use the vise. After 24 hours, the repaired product can be used.

When working with the “Instant Grip” composition, the parts should be joined with particular care. The glue instantly seizes, so it is sometimes impossible to correct an unevenly applied element.

Reviews

Clay "Moment Stolyar" is widely known in the Russian construction market and has many positive reviews. Buyers note consumer availability and inexpensive material cost, high adhesive properties and ease of use.They also draw attention to the possibility of repairing wooden furniture without the need to drill holes for screws, which preserves the aesthetic appearance of the products. By cons, users attribute the poor adherence of the composition to the loose wood structure and the rapidity of hardening of the “Instant Snap” glue, which precludes further adjustment of the position of the parts.
