In everyday life, the universal adhesive “Moment Crystal” is indispensable. It helps to glue the most different materials, ranging from ceramics to rubber. But the main advantage of this product is that traces of gluing are almost invisible. The composition is deservedly popular - it has high quality and excellent performance properties.
Compound
The adhesive has a complex chemical composition, created when using latest technologies, which determines its main properties. This is a product that allows you to form a high-strength seam that is resistant to aggressive influences (including mechanical ones).
The product includes the following main components:
- inorganic heterochain polymers of the polyurethane group obtained by high-temperature synthesis;
- ethyl acetate (ethyl ester of ethanoic acid);
- dimethyl ketone or acetone;
- stabilizing additives.
Thanks to stabilizers, the adhesive is highly resistant to moisture. As the adhesive layer hardens, it crystallizes, which increases the strength of the connected joints several times.
The products are packaged in tubes of 125 ml and 30 ml. You can also purchase glue in 750 ml cans and 10 liter canisters. Last option especially convenient if you plan large volumes repair work.
Properties
Polyurethane adhesive is capable of gluing hard and soft materials from polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride and other types of synthetic polymer products. It can also be used for gluing wood materials, natural plant cork, organic glass from acrylic resin, metal, ceramic and porcelain products, rubber, paper and cardboard.
Basic technical and performance characteristics product:
- the product is a transparent gel that remains colorless even after hardening;
- suitable for gluing various combinations of materials;
- It is a water-resistant composition, therefore it can be used for products made of natural and synthetic rubber (rubber);
- not subject to aggressive alkaline and acidic effects;
- has the ability to crystallize during hardening, ensures ideal adhesion to surfaces;
- has high strength properties and does not leave dirty marks or stains after processing;
- treated seams are not affected by high and low temperatures (from -40 to +70 degrees);
- To remove excess adhesive, you do not need to use solvents - they can be removed mechanically or roll it with your fingers.
A special feature of the glue is the restoration of its necessary properties after freezing. It is able to regain its original consistency when room temperature.
The universal Moment Crystal gel can dry out, crystallize prematurely and become unusable only if the seal of the packaging is broken. Storage of the product involves average temperature from -20 to +30 degrees for 24 months.
There are two main limitations in using glue:
- it cannot be used for gluing dishes used for food;
- it is not suitable for repairing products made of polypropylene, polyethylene and Teflon.
Instructions for use
The adhesive, having maximum adhesion, sets instantly, because the composition is recognized as the highest quality and durable among analogues. However, before use, as stated in the product description, it is necessary to prepare the surfaces to be joined. If it is metal, it should be cleaned of scale, rust, dust and dirt. After this, it is advisable to sand the coating with any abrasive and wipe it, clearing it of small particles. Then you can degrease the material with acetone or gasoline.
The composition is applied in an even layer only to dry, clean surfaces and left until a thin but noticeable film forms on them (for 20-25 minutes). If the products being processed are highly porous, the glue may be well absorbed, so it will have to be applied again.
Before connecting the coatings, you must make sure that transparencies is in the right consistency. If it does not stick to your hands, then you can connect the sections. This must be done quickly, with strong pressure - the strength of the seam depends on this. The closure must be uniform over the entire surface area to prevent air bubbles from forming.
For maximum strength, it is not the duration of pressure that is important, but its strength, so gluing must be done as carefully as possible. Press the surface for 5-7 seconds. After this, it will no longer be possible to make adjustments. To create optimally uniform pressure during gluing professional craftsmen It is recommended to use an ordinary rolling pin or bottle. You can use the product after repair a day later, when the polymerization of the adhesive composition is completely completed.
Usually the glue does not leave stains, but sometimes it is necessary to remove its residues accidentally hit the surface. This needs to be done quickly. Fresh dirt can be removed with a clean finger. Dried stains can be removed using gasoline or acetone (with the exception of fabrics that will have to be taken to the dry cleaner).
Security measures
When using the product, do not forget that the product is flammable, so all gluing work should not be carried out near fire sources. It is also advisable to ensure maximum ventilation in the room.
Evaporation of the adhesive composition in some cases can cause allergic reaction, dizziness, attacks of nausea and vomiting in people with hypersensitivity. It is unacceptable for the product to come into contact with the skin and mucous membranes of the eyes.
If the substance accidentally comes into contact with exposed parts of the body, rinse them immediately with plenty of warm running water.

In Russia, Henkel Era LLC, located in the city of Tosno, produces Moment glue. Leningrad region and has been operating as part of the concern since 1991.
Specifications
The composition of Moment Crystal adhesive includes stabilizing substances, heterochain polymers of the polyurethane group, ethyl acetate and acetone. Thanks to the presence of these components, the adhesive is highly water resistant and suitable for use in environments with high humidity. The product is absolutely transparent, as a result of which the junction of the elements is almost invisible. During the drying process, the composition crystallizes, which provides high degree adhesion of parts and guarantees the durability of the connection. The glue is highly resistant to heat and frost and tolerates alkalis and dilute acids well.
Glued items can be used at temperatures from -40 to 70 degrees without the risk of seam deformation or mutual displacement of parts. The optimal temperature range for installation work is considered to be a range of plus 18-25 degrees, but if necessary, gluing can be carried out at both lower and higher temperatures.
If work with the composition is carried out under extreme conditions, it must be taken into account that the drying of the glue depends entirely on the time of evaporation of the solvent. The slower this process takes place, the longer it will take to completely polymerize the seam.
“Moment Crystal”, like many other compounds in this category, is a flammable substance. Therefore, gluing work should be carried out away from open flame sources and in the presence of good ventilation if installation is carried out indoors. The glue density is 0.88 g/cm3, and average consumption, provided the composition is applied to both surfaces, varies from 250 to 350 g/m2. The product can be stored at temperatures from -20 to 30 degrees and, if frozen, quickly restores its properties after thawing. The shelf life of the adhesive is limited to two years, subject to temperature regime storage The glue is available in 30 and 125 ml tubes, as well as 750 ml cans and ten-liter canisters.
