Follow me and teach you the curing time of glass adhesive

After staying in the house for a long time, it is inevitable to encounter some problems, such as wall cracking, floor deformation or loosening, poor window sealing, aging or mold of glass glue, and so on.

According to data statistics, according to a 120 square meter residential building, 20-30 glass adhesives with different functions are required for the entire house decoration. Aging of glass glue is a common problem in every house, and if not replaced in a timely manner, it may affect the aesthetics and safety of the house.

When decorating a house, there are usually professional craftsmen who apply glue for construction. However, when maintaining and replacing the glue strips in the later stage, many homeowners choose to replace them themselves! I have to admire the hands-on ability and learning spirit of the current owners! What can be done by oneself, not by anyone else. What you don't know how to do, try to figure out how to do it.

Today, the editor is here to share how to control the curing time of glass adhesive, to help homeowners who love doing things themselves.

Curing techniques

01

Different types of glass adhesives have varying curing times

The curing time of different types of glass adhesives varies, and the curing time of neutral glass adhesives is longer than that of acidic glass adhesives.

Owners should understand the curing time of different functional glass adhesives before using them to avoid affecting the construction progress.

02

Thickness determines curing time

The curing time of the same type of glass adhesive depends on the adhesive thickness of the glass adhesive. Thin coated glass adhesive may have a short curing time, but it is also possible that its adhesive strength may not be sufficient due to a small amount.

Thick coated glass glue may be stronger, but there are also issues with long curing time and waste of glass glue. So the business owner should first consider the actual amount of adhesive required for the object to be bonded, in order to better grasp the construction quality and effect.

03

A ventilated environment will accelerate the solidification rate

During the use of glass adhesive, attention should be paid to ventilation. Using it in open spaces can accelerate the curing speed of glass adhesive. At the same time, acidic glass adhesive will release a small amount of irritating odor during the curing process, so it is necessary to pay attention to ventilation after construction.

04

Staying in water can affect the curing effect

After applying glass glue, it is not allowed to get wet for 12 hours. Because at this time, only the surface can solidify, and the interior is far from solidifying.

So we need to wait longer. During this period, do not pour water, otherwise it will cause the adhesion of the glass adhesive to fail.

05

The ambient temperature determines the curing rate

The curing process of sealant is actually a chemical reaction process, and the ambient temperature has a great impact on the speed of the reaction.

Whether it is a single component sealant or a two-component sealant, the higher the ambient temperature, the faster the reaction rate, and the faster the curing rate.
