PVC or polyvinyl chloride is a material thatused today in many areas of construction and installation. Pipes of our water supply and sewage systems, facade structures, floor and ceiling panels, and much more are made of it. For the connection of all these materials requires high-quality and reliable glue.
Glue for PVC is different.But the main thing in its technical characteristics is high elasticity and water resistance. After all, he often has to contact with parts that are under the influence of humidity, and even under water. In addition, high-quality glue for PVC films and other materials must be resistant to sunlight, temperature extremes and mechanical stress.
Where is glue used for PVC
Often glue for PVC is used in sealingworks to fill cracks and seams. In terms of its qualities, this product is far superior to ordinary silicone sealant. Even after a few years, it will not darken and yellow, will not crack and will not crumble. In a word, it will remain as elastic and perfectly smooth as in the first days after application.
Среди других сфер применения высокоэластичного adhesives for PVC can be called the plumbing industry (connecting plumbing and plumbing pipes, gluing gutters to drain rainwater), as well as the production of some other modern structures that we see in front of us every day (for example, billboards).
Специалисты рекомендуют перед тем, как приступить to the connection of polyvinyl chloride parts, thoroughly clean the surface from mechanical impurities, degrease it and dry well. For additional adhesion (to improve the adhesion of the adhesive to the surface) it can be sanded with abrasive paper.
Непосредственно в самой технике приклеивания нет nothing complicated. Glue for PVC is squeezed out by a thin layer on one of the working surfaces, they are joined and pressed down within 2-3 minutes. For large surfaces this time should be increased. The amount of glue when applied should not exceed the allowable, otherwise its excess will flow out of the seam to the outside, which will reduce the aesthetics of gluing, and on some materials may even lead to their damage.
Adhesive for PVC: post-treatment and precautionary measures
All other operations with the working surfaceshould be carried out no earlier than one day after applying the adhesive for PVC. For several days, it is recommended to protect the site of adhesion from direct sunlight and high temperatures. All work with glue should be carried out in well-ventilated areas and using personal protective equipment.
