stone glue

Stone glue is a type of strong glue that is used to connect and glue different stones together in construction projects, decorative works and stone pieces. Strong stone glue can be in powder or liquid form and have different characteristics that depend on the type of use and the needs of projects. Powdered stone glue is usually made from a combination of white cement, stone powder and polymer materials, and to use it, the powder is first mixed with water and made into a paste, then this paste is rubbed on the surface of the stones and the pieces are joined together. It is glued and held until the paste dries. This type of glue is usually used for permanent and resistant connection, on the other hand, liquid stone glue is often produced from different polymers. To use, the surface of the stones must be cleaned and dried, then put the glue on the surface and stick the pieces together and hold until the glue dries. This type of glue is suitable for projects with different surfaces due to its flexibility and ease of use.

Advantages of stone glue

One of the biggest advantages of strong stone glue is its very high resistance to various environmental factors. This waterproof stone glue has the ability to deal with weather changes, including cold and heat. Even in temperature conditions from zero to plus sixty degrees Celsius, it maintains its resistance. In addition to resistance to environmental factors, stone glue has a very high resistance to chemical solvents such as acids, diesel, oil, gas and oils. This feature makes it perform optimally when faced with industrial and chemical environments. Strong stone glue dries immediately after use and its strength increases rapidly after drying. This feature allows the projects to move to the next stage quickly and to create very strong and stable connections, also the stone glue has the ability to change shape and be shaved after drying. This allows the users of this tool to carve it to their desired shape after the glue dries and give their projects an extra touch of beauty. In general, the main advantages of using stone glue include:

Permanent and strong connection: This glue has the ability to create permanent and strong connections between stone pieces.
Resistance to pressure and bending: Due to its mechanical properties, this adhesive is resistant to pressure and bending.
Preventing weather and air penetration: creating direct contact between stone parts and preventing air and water from entering the joints.
Ability to use in different weather conditions: The ability to use in different weather conditions is one of the advantages of this waterproof stone glue.
Usability for different types of stones: The versatility of this glue in using different types of stones provides a multi-purpose tool.

Considering these advantages, using stone glue as an efficient and intelligent solution in various industrial and construction projects fulfills various, countless and flexible requirements and helps to improve and improve the productivity of these projects.

Types of stone glue

As we said, there are different types of strong stone glue, which are divided into the following two categories according to their type.

Paste stone glue: Due to its unique features, this product is known as one of the best types of strong stone glue for connecting stone pieces to the wall and floor. Due to its very small mass, this type of adhesive does not add extra load to the building and thus helps to improve the efficiency and compatibility with the building, in addition, it is highly resistant to environmental changes among the advantages of this adhesive. This type of glue is used for gluing stone pieces, tiles, and pottery to the walls and floors of buildings.
Powder glue: This powder product is a suitable combination of cement and polymer, which is available as a powder in two colors, black and white. This adhesive is used as an efficient option for gluing different types of materials such as stone, tile, pottery, ceramic, mosaic and brick to the floor and wall of the building. Due to the very high adhesiveness of this waterproof stone glue, it is used in places such as pools that are in direct contact with water. Features such as high adhesive strength, the ability to perform in wet environments, the ability to perform in thin and thick layers, and sufficient time for installation are considered important features of this type of glue.

Stone glue is also divided into the following two categories according to its structure.

Polyester stone glue: These glues are based on polyester and due to their relatively low cost, ease of use and speed of operation, they are the first choice of manufacturers. They can be used in all construction works for sealing or gluing, but due to their unfavorable durability against rapid temperature changes, they are not very suitable for the exterior parts of the building. Compared to the epoxy type, these adhesives are relatively more resistant to color change under ultraviolet rays.
Epoxy stone glue: Epoxy glues are part of paste-shaped glues that are sold in one-component and two-component packages. In single-component epoxy adhesives, all formulated components are pre-mixed and usually require high temperatures to react. These products are stored at low temperatures, in the refrigerator and even in the freezer, but the two-component type consists of two separate parts that must be mixed together in a certain amount before use to achieve the desired adhesion. Since these adhesives harden immediately after mixing, they should be used as soon as they are mixed. The main features of epoxy are very good physical and mechanical strength, high resistance to thermal changes and high speed. This adhesive is one of the few adhesives that are recommended for various internal and external applications. Common epoxy glue, thermal epoxy glue, and UV epoxy glue are types of epoxy glue. Common epoxy glue is the same two-component glue that shows good adhesion on different substrates and is used for gluing different materials such as metals, glass, concrete, stone. , wood, tiles, ceramics and many plastics are used. This product has a strong chemical structure and is very durable against external factors. Thermal epoxy glue has a stronger structure and is suitable for applications resistant to high temperatures. These adhesives are used in both single-component and two-component forms. The two-component type of these adhesives are mainly used for applications resistant to high temperatures, such as the aerospace market and automobile production. In the single-component type, due to the pre-mixing of the components, there is no need to worry about mixing percentage problems, and a very low temperature is required for storage. The third type of epoxy adhesives are products that react by absorbing ultraviolet (UV) rays and are used to assemble electronic devices and general connections such as image sensor modules, display panels, etc.

Tips for maintaining stone glue

Do not store stone glue at temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, because the storage conditions of these chemical products can affect their effectiveness and performance. To maintain the quality of the glue, it is recommended to store it in a cool environment and away from direct sunlight, and close the lid completely after each use, because the penetration of air can lead to a decrease in its efficiency and adhesive strength.

Safety tips are also very important, which include:

Wear safety glasses and gloves when using stone glue.
Store the product at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and keep it out of the reach of children.
Avoid smoking when using stone glue and keep it away from heat sources.
Make sure that the place where the stone glue is used has proper ventilation.
In case of fire, use water or CO2 gas to extinguish.
In case of contact with the glue in the eyes, immediately wash the eyes with water.

To maintain the quality and useful life of stone glue, pay attention to the following 10 points:

Store in a dry and cool environment.
Separate parts before drying.
Keeping at the right temperature (-15 to +30 degrees Celsius).
Use within the specified time limit.
Keep the surface dry before use.
Use the right amount of glue.
Compliance with temperature and humidity during use.
Use of mask and gloves.
Store in a safe place away from direct light.

By following these tips, you can maintain the stone glue in the best way and enjoy more efficiency and useful life.

How to use stone glue

How to use strong stone glue depends on the type of glue and the type of stone to be glued. In the following, we will describe the general method for using stone glue:

Surface preparation: The place where the stones are to be glued together must be completely clean, dry and free of any grease, dust and other particles. To achieve these conditions, you can clean the surface with soap and water or using a special detergent.
Adhesive preparation: Stone adhesive should be kept in cool and dry conditions. Depending on the type of glue, you may need to mix two or more ingredients. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to prepare the mixture.
Applying glue: Using a brush or other tool, apply the glue to the surface where the stone is to be attached, then place the stone on the glue and press it together and compact it. At the time of adhesive removal, depending on the type of adhesive and environmental conditions, the time required for the adhesive to dry may be different.
End of work: After finishing the work, it is better to keep the glue in a suitable and packed container to avoid contact with air.
