Heat Resistant Adhesive is a highly demanded construction product, widely used for many applications: laying ceramic tiles, stone, marble, glass tiles, insulation materials, etc. There is a huge range of them. It is used not only for gluing, but also for sealing, for example, bathroom cabins. It can be applied to the surface in various ways. Apply the required amount of glue either pointwise or in a continuous layer.
Composition and properties of glue
The main components of dry glue are cement-sand mixture, as well as synthetic and mineral additives that give the composition elasticity, heat resistance, and high strength. In addition, they protect the masonry surface from cracking. Heat-resistant adhesive can be used for masonry and facing works at air temperatures from -10 to +35 degrees C. After hardening, it has good adhesion, frost resistance and fire resistance (up to +1200 degrees Celsius).
Heat Resistant Tile Adhesive
Glue fortiling work is mainly used for facing work in places with regular significant temperature fluctuations. This heat-resistant adhesive is used for lining chimneys, stoves, fireplaces, barbecues, fireboxes. It is also used for laying bricks, lining fireplaces and stoves with natural and artificial stone, clinker tiles. Very often used when working with heated floors.
How to choose glue?
Choosing the right material for construction work is a great art. To prevent unnecessary loss of money, time and effort, it is necessary not only to have a good understanding of the quality of the product, but also to have the necessary knowledge on its use. When choosing a heat-resistant adhesive, it is necessary to clarify the maximum temperature that this type of product can withstand, as well as pay attention to exactly where it is supposed to be used. Think also about the materials that you will be gluing, about their composition. Heat-resistant adhesive must dry quickly, it must be sufficiently elastic. You need to keep in mind its degree of adhesion: the higher it is, the better. High-quality heat-resistant tile adhesive must withstand temperatures up to one hundred and twenty degrees. It is clear that when the product dries, a harmful substance is released into the air, so it is necessary to remember the toxicity of the selected adhesive. In addition, such a product will be used at high temperatures. It is best to stay on the glue with a minimum level of toxicity. The next step in your choice should bewaterproof performance. Adhesive abilities are provided precisely by this feature. Experiment with surface heating after forty-eight hours, after the product has completely dried.
Heat-resistant fireplace glue
The fireplace in the house is the personification of coziness, comfort, beauty, elegance. For its construction, as a rule, brick, mixture and glue are used. The choice of material for laying the fireplace stove is a rather important stage. Saving money can sometimes backfire. A quality fireplace adhesive is a heat-resistant compound that has the following characteristics:
- elasticity, helping to preserve the masonry structure as much as possible;
- flame retardant;
- contains a fibrous binder.
These qualities allow the use of heat-resistant adhesive for tiling, as well as for fixing plaster mesh and external stone processing. Galvanized plaster mesh is fastened with nails to the surface, and tightened with a composition from above. The result is a fairly even and stable surface.
Heat-resistant adhesive for stoves and fireplaces can withstand fairly large temperature changes.
Glue for metal
Glue for metal - heat-resistant unique adhesive composition with high strength. It differs not only in composition, but also in the method of application. It can be point application and continuous, on the entire surface area. Goodheat-resistant adhesive for metal can withstand temperatures up to four hundred degrees. When choosing it, you should pay attention to its drying time, as well as the amount of toxic substances released, which is definitely important.
Surface preparation
The metal surface is usually quite contaminated with various paint residues, oils or corrosion. You can get rid of this mechanically and chemically.
Machining – cleaning the surface by abrasive action such as sandpaper, sand or bead blasting or a simple wire brush. The use of this type of treatment not only cleans the surface, but also makes it rougher, due to which the surface area of \u200b\u200bthe interaction of the adhesive with the metal increases, and, accordingly, the bonding strength.
Chemical treatment - exposure of the metal surface to be cleaned with an alkali, acid solution or a special composition for cleaning and removing rust. Cleaning in this way is faster, cheaper, and due to the formation of a chemically resistant layer on the metal surface, it significantly increases the strength and durability of the adhesive joint.
Safety measures
Working with glue requires certain safety precautions, as it contains cement that can irritate the mucous membrane. In case of accidental contact with the mouth, nose or eyes, rinse immediately with water. When working with heat-resistant adhesive in dryform should use a respirator to protect respiratory organs from dust.
