Wallpaper Glue

Considering adhesives for wall coverings, we do not have in mind the finish tile, plaster or glaze. Acquainted mainly with the species of adhesives for wallpaper, textiles and cork coverings. The main feature of which is divided into "clothes for the walls (and glue to her) - the specific gravity. Distinguish the lungs (various wallpapers) and heavy (panel) of the coating. Adhesives for them are different and at a price and on the properties, and composition. Usually we want our wall decor is not bubbled, covered in spots, does not crack and does not fall off with plaster. Many of these items depend on the quality of the fixing composition. The basis of most adhesives are cellulose derivatives. Most often it is carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), or simply methylcellulose (MC). Depends on this temperature of water in which you want to breed glue. For example, in hot water solubility of methylcellulose decreases as compared with the solubility in cold water. This means that when the temperature will precipitate or the formation of flakes. In chemistry, it is called coagulation. The temperature of coagulation 2-percent solution of methylcellulose is in the range of 35 to 56 degrees Celsius. That is, when reaching this mark will be the solution mixed. It will embarrass its application to the surface. Carboxymethylcellulose has no temperature coagulation. Therefore, when preparing the adhesive on the basis of its temperature does not play a role (if not included in the composition of additives, temperature sensitive). Different adhesives on the basis of carboxymethylcellulose not only in quality but also on the intended use. There is a CMC-adhesives for light, medium and heavy wallpaper. Their main difference from each other - is the concentration of carboxymethylcellulose. The higher it is, the higher the viscosity of the adhesive. This is particularly important for heavy-wall paper, adhesive with low viscosity will not be necessary to force them to grasp and they may come off. Therefore, we must follow the rule: the thicker the wallpaper, the thicker should be the glue. For rooms with high humidity is perfect CMC-adhesive with the addition of antibacterial substances, it will prevent the process of decay. Another kind of wallpaper adhesives are vinyl adhesive. It is ideal for bonding vinyl, foam, fabric or embossed wallpaper. Also with him is very easy to work, wallpaper on the freshly deposited adhesive vinyl it slides along the surface and are easy to align and dock. If necessary, wallpaper canvas (if the glue has not dried up), we can tear off and stick again, without adding glue. Technology dissolution of dry wallpaper adhesives is the same. In the enamel, or plastic bucket poured water temperature of 25 degrees, then in the tank creates a whirlpool, into which, without ceasing to stir, and go to sleep dry mixture. Until ready adhesive must defend from 3 minutes to several hours, the time is always indicated on the packaging. Apply glue to the surface in several ways. It can be spread on a cloth and just paste, it is usually used when gluing light paper wallpaper. Or the second option: the glue is applied to the surface, then he gets to soak in the base and then another layer of plaster. Only after this wallpaper blade is attached. Typically, the procedure works with the wallpaper is described on the packaging or the accompanying instructions. For gluing velvet, textile, vinyl or glass fiber is also used dispersion adhesive. From other varieties of wallpaper adhesives it is distinguished by its high durability, wallpaper, glued on him, not so easy to tear off the wall. Another advantage of the dispersion glue is that it is waterproof and can withstand high humidity. However, it should be noted that use it in the bathroom is still not recommended. Dispersion adhesive, in contrast to the usual dry, producing a ready to use, and applied it directly on surfaces, rather than on themselves wallpaper. Glue dries so about 12 hours. The correct adhesive ensures quality Wallpapering, to care for properly pasted wallpaper easier and increases the life of wallpaper. Any wallpaper paste can be used as a primer - just buy one pack of glue, more and processed before gluing the wall, in this case a more durable "Hitch" with the wall, which vrezultate wallpaper glued excellent, the service life increases.
