How to use Titanium building glue correctly

Many important repair tasks are solved by bonding different types of surfaces, and this operation can be carried out using modern construction adhesives... Usually, to achieve diverse goals, various specialized adhesive mixtures are also used, but such an unified approach to the problem is fraught with the complexity of the choice. The modern approach to gluing surfaces in any combination implies the use of a universal preparation capable of providing the most effective gluing result. Such universal adhesive mixtures include glue titanium.

Titanium glue characteristics

Polymer glue Titanium intended for use in the widest range of areas of construction and renovation, and is a universal binding agent that allows you to solve a huge number of tasks, from installing parquet flooring to installing tiles. Thanks to its versatile multi-component composition, this adhesive can replace many specialized adhesives. Possession of a number of quality characteristics determines the possibility of using the glue in a wide variety of conditions. It is insensitive to humidity, not afraid of sudden changes in temperature, which makes it indispensable when working in difficult conditions of a bathroom or kitchen.

Adhesiveness glue titanium very high, and allows it to be used when joining surfaces of plaster, cement, concrete and plaster. This type of glue has proven itself very well when working with linoleum, parquet, ceramics, glass, wood and many other materials. Titanium is especially good for mounting ceiling coverings. It is characterized by a very low consumption per square meter of surface, it dries quickly. Elastic and transparent, leaves practically no traces on the surface. Instructions for the use of the glue, which helps to navigate during a variety of work, are printed on the packaging, which is very convenient.

Possibilities of using titanium glue

The glue is versatile, so it can be used to treat various surfaces:

Glue Titanium for floor

Excellent proven itself glue titanium when installing a wide variety of floor coverings: linoleum, carpet, laminate, cork. It is reliable, resistant to applied loads, which prevents the coating from peeling off over time. It allows you to work with parquet flooring, it adheres perfectly to a wooden surface, but some craftsmen have their own opinion about the difficulty of using Titanium for this type of work.

For ceiling

For the installation of ceiling coverings, Titan glue turned out to be the most suitable material, therefore, by right it received the widest distribution. Its popularity was due to its transparent texture, which made it possible to use it when working with the most expensive types of coatings.

Adhesive Titanium for walls

Any wall panels, whether made of MDF or PVC, are securely fixed with this versatile adhesive.

Application methods:

Many materials are simple enough glue with Titanium: it is unpretentious to use, so any actions with it are performed without any discomfort. As usual, the surface is cleaned and dried before gluing. After that, a thin layer of glue is applied to the base, and it is dried for three minutes. On porous surfaces, the adhesive is applied in two layers. After this procedure, you can proceed directly to gluing.

When installing ceiling tiles, the adhesive is not applied in a solid plane, but in a dotted line. If you want to glue something on the whitewashed surface, you will have to remove the whitewash in advance, and then prime the bonding area with a mixture of glue and denatured alcohol. After four hours, you can start the actual pasting, the drying time of the glue is on average about half an hour.

Thoroughly clean any surface before gluing; the quality of the gluing often depends on the quality of cleaning. Some glue applications require a primer to be applied to the substrate. The glue should be applied to the surface in a thin layer, evenly. Universal properties of titanium glue allow you to use any base for attaching any material, which makes it indispensable for repairs of any complexity in an apartment.

Polymers instead of bones and tendons. These are not new body prostheses. It's about glue. In the Neolithic era, that is, the late Stone Age, it was cooked from bones and lived. Looking at modern jellied meat, it is easy to believe that glue can be made from them.

Later, vegetable resins were added to the bonding mixtures. A glue based on them and animal fat was found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. The substance was poured into a vessel, apparently suggesting the need for the afterlife.

This indicates the importance of the glue. Its modern variations are mostly polymeric. Such glue is not put into tombs, but it still means a lot. What are the names alone. We will devote today's review to "Titan". That was the name of the Greek gods. According to legend, they held the sky on their shoulders. And what keeps glue "Titan"?

Description and properties of titanium glue

The base of Titan glue is polyurethane. Its constituents isocyate and polyol are taken from crude oil. The synthesis was carried out in the 1930s in America. In the 1950s, the substance was polymerized there. The result was foamed polyurethane varieties, for example, polystyrene. The abundance of air in it allows you to insulate the house with material.

Solid polystyrene. In the "Titan" glue, polyurethane is liquid. The product looks like PVA. "Titan" is packaged in different cylinders, bags and bottles, depending on the purpose. We will talk about it in a separate chapter.

In addition to polyurethane, Titan may contain dimethyl ether, propylene, 4-4-diphenylmethane, their isomers and homologues. This is the name for substances of similar composition, but of a different structure. In the case of homologues, there are additional CH 2 groups.

The precise composition and proportions of the components give variations in the structure and appearance of the Titan. It is not always whitish like PVA. There are transparent types of glue. There is even a semblance of polyurethane foam. It differs from it in the absence of secondary expansion.

Giving it, the polyurethane foam also shrinks. “Titan”, having expanded once, no longer changes its volume. In addition, the adhesive has better adhesion to concrete. Adhesion refers to the ability to penetrate into the upper layers of other materials, to adhere to them.

Types of glue "Titan"

Assembly adhesive "Titan"- a brand under which a number of products are hidden. It covers various construction and renovation needs. There are 4 main types of glue:

• Liquid nails "Titan". Liquid nails are understood as glue with a fine fraction filler. It makes the mixture pasty and, as it were, concretes it, allowing the spaced surfaces to be held together. A snug fit, pressing the planes is no longer required. Metal, wood, ceramic, polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride objects can act as planes.

• Glue-mastic "Titan". In cooking, mastic is a mixture of gelatin, sugar and water. The glue took from her only viscosity, density and plasticity. The composition is designed for the connection of polystyrene, polyurethane, gypsum and plastered surfaces. Lime-cement bases, wood-based panels and brickwork also lend themselves. Application of glue "Titan" category "mastic" begins with mixing the composition. It grabs in 20 seconds, and dries up completely in 12 hours.

• Powder glue "Titan". Universal composition for gluing. Like other adhesives for them, "Titan" is diluted with water. The advantage of powder in antiseptic additives. They block development. Appearing on wallpaper and plaster surfaces, it penetrates into the walls in the form of spores. They are not visible and difficult to withdraw. Priming with Titan glue eliminates the risk of contamination of surfaces.

• Glue-foam "Titan"... It works on the principle of regular foam, also consisting of polyurethane. When exposed to air, it polymerizes. Contact with atmospheric moisture leads to the release of carbon dioxide. It swells the polymer. So the foam turns out. Windows and door frames, wall panels sit on it with the same success. However, information on the use of adhesives of the series is collected in a separate chapter.

A narrower classification of "Titan" is related to the application. So, among the wallpaper powders there are for paper, vinyl, fabric canvases. Liquid nails include glue "Titan" for mirrors... But, there are also universal formulations. They are even used in quality. To do this, add denatured alcohol to the glue - ethyl alcohol with an admixture of methanol.

Is in the brand's product line and ceiling glue "Titan"... It belongs to the category of mastics, good for gypsum tiles, expanded polystyrene, polystyrene. All instructions on the packages are in Russian. The brand, by the way, is also domestic. He entered the market in the 1990s.

Characteristics of Titan glue

Properties of glue "Titan" depend on its type. In the form of a foam, for example, the formulation ignores ultraviolet radiation. It darkens ordinary polyurethane foam and makes it brittle. "Titan" is used in street work. If the foam is also covered with other "facades", then only for the sake of beauty, and not the safety of the sealant.

In a bottle with foam glue "Titan" transparent, but we get cloudy at the exit. When solidified, the mixture becomes light beige. Gas bubbles are enclosed in closed "honeycomb". They do not communicate with each other.

Consequently, Titan foam is moisture resistant. This makes the material suitable for facade work. For domestic use, "Titan" is also ideal, since it does not contain freons. These are gases in which methane is mixed with ethane.

They talk about the dangers of the mixture. However, it is not she herself that is harmful, but the released tetrafluoroethylene. It forms at temperatures over 400 degrees. That is, foams with freons are potentially dangerous only in the event of a fire.

However, during it, poisons will have something to stand out from. The emphasis on the absence of freons in the Titan glue is more a marketing ploy than a real advantage.

General characteristics of glue "Titan" in foam and in the form of mastic - heat resistance. In the frozen state, the products withstand at least 140 degrees. The wallpaper series cannot boast of a sim.

On the other hand, Titan powder adhesives have narrowly targeted advantages. The first is slipperiness. It allows you to move the canvases on the wall, adjusting the pattern on the wallpaper. To make them easier to stick, "Titan" powder dissolves in water without the formation of lumps. This is the second plus of the mixtures. It dries up in 5 minutes.

Application of glue "Titan"

Question, what does Titan glue stick has dozens of answers. Even artificial leather is held together by brand mixtures. Therefore, the use of "Titan" is wide. If the ancient Greek Gods held heaven on their shoulders, then the hero of the article rests on the repair and the sphere of arts and crafts.

Floor and ceiling blocks are attached to "Titan". Under the ceramics, the hero of the article replaces the cement mixture. Titan also serves well under moldings and skirting boards. Double-glazed windows, slopes for them, door frames are mounted on glue foam.

Replacing competitors with "Titan" is driven by the low consumption of the mixture. For example, 1 liter per square meter of wallpaper. However, on some surfaces, all 20 liters are spent per square.

The exact value depends on the porosity of the substrate. Glue "Titan Wild" fills in the voids. This is extra volume. On a flat and dense surface, the consumption of mixtures is several times less.

The use of the hero of the article, like other adhesives, is fraught with the mixture getting on clothes, floors, furniture. They sort out the outfits after waiting for the Titan to freeze.

In solid form, it is covered with gauze and tapped. Shatters like glass. It remains to shake off the debris and wash off small particles stuck in the fibers of the fabric with warm water and soap.

When removing mixtures from home surfaces and facades, the question arises, how to dilute titan glue... Suitable: alcohol, disinfectant liquids with it and denatured alcohol. On packages with solvents, look for "butyl acetate" and "isoprapanol". They are even found in nail polish remover. So, it will also help get rid of glue stains.

For 4 shares of "Titan" take 1 part of the solvent. Therefore, acetone is suitable for cleaning surfaces, but it is risky to use it to dilute the thickened mixture.

The price of titanium glue and reviews about it

Titan glue price depends on the type and volume of the mixture. Half a liter of universal, for example, costs from 100 to 220 rubles. For a liter they take from 210 to 370. Is it worth paying? Customer reviews will tell you about this:

• “This glue is outdated. I took it for the ceiling tiles, as there was only Titan in the nearby store. It turned out that it needs to be applied to the ceiling, wait 5 minutes, then glue the block and press it for another 5 minutes. Mazakhism is straightforward. I felt like a titan holding the sky. The glue does not live up to the name. "

• “I appreciate the Titan for its water resistance. When the glue is dry, even bathe it in the bathtub. It is easily cleaned from hands, grasps surfaces tightly. The main thing is to hold for 1-3 minutes. I use it for minor repairs, I'm happy. "

Angelica EL

• “The Titan's death grip is both its main plus and minus. You don't always measure exactly. Sometimes, you need to rip and re-glue the part. In the case of the Titan, the thing is ruined. He comes off only with meat. But if you measure 7 times and only glue 1 times, there is no price for "Titan". "

This characterizes the domestic glue as a solid average. It's affordable, reliable, but not cutting edge. On the other hand, the quality of the brand's products is constant, and the instructions for it are clear.
