If you need to glue parts or fill in the gaps and gaps, then you can use Poxipol, the instructions for use of which will be described in the article. This glue is a pasty two-component epoxy composition that has the characteristics of rapid hardening. The mixture is also known as cold welding.
Area of use
If you need to glue rubber or metal, earthenware or wood, glass or concrete, then you can use Poxipol welding, which must be prepared before use. It is quite widespread today, because it can be used in various fields, including:
- gluing brackets and hooks;
- strengthening the handle of knives;
- glass bonding;
- toy repair;
- bonding aircraft models;
- furniture repair;
- strengthening floor tiles;
- puttying car bumpers and fenders;
- sealing holes in aluminum sheets;
- mounting rails;
- threading on metal and wood;
- filling cracks.
Among other things, Poxipol, the instructions for use of which should be studied by you before use, will allow you to glue broken dishes, fix a boat, solder a leak or glue a mirror. This composition can be used to install devices in laboratories and gluing aquariums.
With this composition, you can strengthen the tiles on the walls or repair plumbing. Some craftsmen use the mixture to repair fishing rods and concrete floors. Poxipol effectively eliminates holes in concrete and metal containers, and also acts as a sealant for tanks and cisterns.
Instructions for use
Poxipol, the instructions for use of which should be known to you before use, is prepared in sufficient quantities. Experts do not recommend "grinding", preparing a volume of at least 1 cm 3 . It is important to observe a 1 to 1 ratio.
Work must be carried out at room temperature. After preparing the composition, a chemical reaction will occur within 10 minutes. When gluing, you do not need to use a press and press the parts against each other excessively. No need to expose the detonation elements, the design should be left in a resting position.
Polymerization will be reduced in time if the ambient temperature is slightly higher. If the temperature is reduced, then the drying period will be somewhat longer. One hour after applying the composition of the surface can be subjected to grinding, drilling and sawing.
Poxipol, the instructions for use of which should be known not only to specialists, but also to home masters, will completely dry in a day after mixing the components. The ingredients must be mixed well before use. It should be remembered that transparent glue acts as a dielectric.
Adhesive Recommendations
If you want to achieve a positive result when gluing, the surfaces must be cleaned of dust and dirt, grease and traces of oils. Only then the glue will work. For materials such as rubber, metal, concrete, glass and ceramics, as well as hard plastics, Poksipol fiber concrete is the best suited. However, polyethylene, teflon and polypropylene do not stick together.
"Poxipol" - cold welding, which should be applied to a rough surface. For this, smooth parts are sanded, and after cooking, the mass is applied. This can be done even under water. If you have to work with complex surfaces, then to improve bonding, it is recommended to apply a thin layer of contact adhesive, which must be allowed to dry for half an hour. This applies to products made from:
- of stainless steel;
- bronzes;
- ceramic tiles;
- copper;
- galvanized steel.
Such adhesive preparation should not contain toluene.
Use temperature and other application features
Poxipol is perfect for metal. The composition has the characteristics of rapid hardening. The temperature of use can vary from 20 to 24 ° C. After a 10-minute break, the composition will change color to transparent and solidify without changing its own volume. The treated area will reach maximum strength in a day, which is true if the room temperature changes in the range from 21 to 25 ° C.
Poxipol glue, the instructions for use of which should help you avoid mistakes, has insulating properties. However, this is true if you mix the ingredients until smooth. As additional positive features, excellent sagging resistance should be highlighted. The tensile strength is 8 MPa. Glue has a different degree of resistance to chemicals. For example, the composition is excellently exposed to water and the environment. A slightly worse mixture will cope with hydrochloric and sulfuric acids, mineral oil, as well as gasoline and toluene.
Security measures
Poxipol, the temperature of use of which should not differ from the recommended, is used in accordance with safety measures. It is important to avoid contact with the skin and eyes, as this can cause irritation. If this still happened, then it is necessary to wash the skin with a solution of soapy water. In the hardened state, the material is not toxic.
Conclusion
Cold welding is used everywhere today. This is due to its excellent characteristics, including metal hardness and resistance to spreading, even from vertical surfaces. The application of the mixture can be carried out by any tools, the thickness of the layer can be different, the material does not expand and does not contract after drying. It contains no solvents, and after hardening it can even be drilled.
Before drying, the glue can be leveled with a knife or spatula, after wetting the tool in water. If the mass cannot be squeezed out, then the tube needs to be heated a little. Tube caps are not recommended.
