How to determine the quality of glue?

Take our advice into account.

The most important indicator of glue quality is its high adhesive ability. The higher this indicator, the better the glue. In second place is adhesion (sticking force), which ensures the most durable bonding of various materials.

No less important characteristic is the drying time of the adhesive, which must be taken into account when laying floor coverings in rolls.

The drying speed is affected by the composition of the adhesive and the presence of organic or inorganic functional compounds in it.

The quality of the glue can also be judged by its elasticity. That's why elastic adhesives Franklin companies are ideal material for laying floor coverings.

The moisture resistance indicators of the adhesive composition play a big role when it comes to working with them in bathrooms, saunas, swimming pools and other rooms with high humidity.

As for wood flooring, for their installation it is necessary to choose an adhesive that does not contain water. This means that polyurethane glue is ideal for working with wood.

Types and characteristics of adhesives

There are polymer and polymer-cement adhesives for floor coverings.

Using polymer-cement adhesives, tiles, artificial and natural stone. Adhesive cement ensures reliable adhesion of durable and hard materials.

Polymer adhesives are used for laying linoleum, wood, laminate, and carpet. Adhesives of this type have high performance elasticity, strength, resistance to aggressive environments.

In addition to the above compounds, acrylic mixtures and PVA glue, which contain water, are widely used for laying floor coverings. They are characterized by high adhesion and the ability to transmit steam. The presence of liquid rubber in polyurethane mixtures and the absence of water make them universal.

Before you start working with flooring adhesive, you must carefully study all technical specifications and manufacturer’s recommendations, type of material, operating conditions.
