The main area of application of adhesive mastics is indoor repair work. They are used for gluing linoleum or plastic tiles to the floor. Part of the mastics is prepared directly at the place where the work will be performed, the other part is produced in industrial conditions. Each type of adhesive mastics is designed for any one type of linoleum or tile. Consider the main types and characteristics of this material.
Main species
Hot bituminous mastic is widely used for gluing on concrete or any other floors of glassine linoleum.
Cold bituminous adhesive mastic is used for gluing glyptal, PVC linoleums, as well as fabric-based floor coverings. The material is also used for bituminous and phenolic tiles.
Compounds based on rubber and bitumen type "isol" are used when laying tiles and sometypes of linoleum Bitumen-rubber materials are used with glyptal linoleum, polyvinyl chloride, fabric-based. The same mastic is suitable for installing plastic tiles.
Bituminous kukersolno-rubber materials are suitable for gluing glyptal and glassine types of linoleum. Mastic is also used with plastic tiles, but this product is not suitable for rubber and phenolic analogues.
Other species
Cumaron rubber materials are used with linoleum and tiles. But it is unacceptable to stick glyptal linoleum with this adhesive mastic, as well as a coating on a similar or fabric basis. This composition cannot be used to glue glassine-based materials. Also, this mastic is not suitable for bitumen and phenolite tiles.
Rosin materials are used for glyptal and PVC types of linoleum, as well as for fabric-based coatings. With the same materials, you can use lacquer mastic LSh-1. You can also use diphenol.
Colloxylin compounds are used only to work with similar linoleum. Caseino-cement mastics are suitable for gluing glyphthalic, PVC linoleums, fabric-based floor coverings in dry rooms.
Bitumenous
In fact, this adhesive mastic is universal in application. It is practiced not only for gluing linoleum and tiles. It is widely used in waterproofing and roofing applications.
The structure of the material isa black viscous substance with a resin smell. These compositions are produced on the basis of oil bitumen compositions. The composition contains a small percentage of aviation kerosene. These mastics combine the qualities of cold and hot resin, which can explain the wide range of uses.
Features
The product differs in features and specifications. You can work with the material in a wide temperature range. This is very important if the work is done outdoors. Most often, bituminous mastics are used for outdoor work. The layer of material does not lose its unique properties even when exposed to high temperatures.
The service life of bituminous mastics averages about 10 years. As for the maximum service life, in some cases it can reach 20 years.
The product is highly elastic. This ensures the integrity of the layer, even if the surface is damaged for some reason. The coating will remain intact and will not break if cracks form in the base.
Material differs in viscosity which is optimum for drawing on any types of surfaces. The viscosity is such that when working with mastic there will be no smudges, and the material can be applied to the surface very evenly. If the composition is used not for gluing linoleum, but for waterproofing work, then a high degree of surface protection is provided.
Mastic has good adhesion to all types of materials. Durablebonding layer for gluing together various finishing and roofing materials on all types of bases.
Mastic does not peel off and can retain an aesthetic appearance for a very long time. The composition contains petroleum bitumen, anti-corrosion additives and a solvent.
With concrete, the adhesion strength is quite high - at least 1.2 MPa. The tensile strength of the elastic film is not less than 0.87 MPa.
Consumption of universal adhesive mastic for roofing, waterproofing and gluing linoleum and tiles is approximately 2 kilograms per square meter.
Rubber frost-resistant
This composition is a mass in the form of a black paste. The product is based on high quality rubber. Most often, raw materials of the BK-1675 brand are used. In addition, the composition may include various polymeric materials and modifiers.
The composition is universal, and it can be used immediately after the package is opened. After using the product and completely drying the layer, a durable rubber coating is obtained. The composition is highly resistant to a variety of atmospheric phenomena and temperature extremes. The layer also withstands moisture and vibration loads.
Frost-resistant adhesive mastic is used not only for gluing linoleum, but for outdoor work. Often these are roofing works - gluing rolled roofing materials, installing tiles. But also the composition is suitable for gluing rough plywood under the parquetmaterials. Mastic is good because it can be effectively used in any climatic zones.
The only limitation is that it is not suitable for liquid applications. These are oil and oil-containing products, organic solvents. Although thick mastic is dissolved with gasoline, white spirit, kerosene, solvent. The main thing is that the amount of solvent in the volume of adhesive mastic should be no more than 20 percent.
Rubber base
Adhesive rubber mastic - glue, which is a black, thick, ready-to-use mass. In composition and characteristics, it is not much different from other analogues. The composition contains petroleum bitumen or its mixtures, synthetic rubber, mineral fillers, rubber crumb, resin acids of natural origin, targeted additives and solvents.
Rubber adhesive mastic has good elasticity and heat resistance. The material is able to withstand temperatures ranging from -30 degrees to +130.
Caseino cement mastic
This composition, unlike bituminous mastics, is made immediately before use. To prepare, you will need OB casein glue, Portland cement, and water.
Glue is poured with water and mixed for 30 minutes. It is not necessary to pour all the water. Leave enough to dilute the cement. When the glue is ready and the cement is diluted, the cement milk is poured into the glue. Then all this must be thoroughly mixed.
This mastic can only be used for fourhours. Then she loses her properties and characteristics.
Hot
This option, unlike cold adhesive mastics, can be cheaper if you cook it yourself. It is done as follows.
Bitumen is placed in the boiler and heated to 180 degrees. Then, when the mass is melted, asbestos is introduced into it in small portions. Previously, the latter is mixed with tripoli. The whole mass is mixed until a mixture of a homogeneous consistency is obtained. The advantage of the product is that it is inexpensive.
