Waterproof glue has strong sealing and waterproof properties. Waterproofing your toilet and bathroom is very important and the use of waterproof glue can achieve high water-proofing. Apply the waterproof glue directly to the base of a surface and wait until it is completely dry before putting it into use.
Waterproof glue is specifically designed for all assembly works and for use with softwoods, hardwoods, and non-inflammable building boards. Waterproof glue is not suitable for bonding plastic materials.
Pay attention when using waterproof glue
- Pre-processing object base: the uneven base surface is the main problem to be solved before the use of strong waterproof glue. The base surface must be cleaned well and polished to ensure that there are no sand, dust and uneven places. If the base surface is newly cast concrete, it must be dried and firmed thoroughly. If the base surface is old concrete, then it should be cleaned with water before starting operation.
- Avoid three situations: before using waterproof glue, read the instructions carefully. If some strong waterproof glue indicates that the low temperature below minus 5 degrees Celsius and it is not suitable for operation. Use the waterproof glue in a humid environment that will also affect bonding and you should avoid working on the rainy season. If the environment is too hot, it is not suitable for the use of strong waterproof glue.
How waterproof glue is made of?
- Mankind has used glue for many years and the old glue recipes persist in modern times. The glues were made of collagen which is extracted from animal parts like a muscle, sinew, bone, and other parts that release collagen when boiled. This collagen is sticky when wet but it dries to a hard and water-insoluble substance. Horses were the most common source of glue making for many years. Other natural sources of protein glues were milk solids and blood of animals. Plants can be a source of many rubbery glue materials.
Properties of good glue
- It must be able to absorb both thermal and vibrational stresses.
- Good glue should be able to be over painted.
- It should be long-lasting and durable.
- It should have very good adhesion to most of the construction materials.
- Must be flexible and elastic.
- The coefficient of volumetric expansion should be less.
The manufacturing process of glue
All the factories collect the animal parts from tanneries, slaughterhouses, meat packing c companies including remains like tendons, bones, feet, fish heads, skin, scales, etc. All the parts are washed thoroughly, dirt is removed and everything is soaked so that the parts are softened. Animal parts are cooked in heat water until the collagen protein is released from the structure of the meat.
Applications of waterproof glue
- Waterproof glue can be applied directly to the concrete surface.
- It can be used for seam sealing for cement, wood, gypsum.
- It works better for the toilet and bathrooms.
- Waterproof glue can be used in roof waterproof engineering.
Bottom line
Make use of the above information and use waterproof in an effective way. There are many types of glue is available, but waterproof glue is easy to make on your own and it is easier than other glues.
