& nbsp; & nbsp; 1. The quality of glass glue can be evaluated from viscosity, tensile strength, mold resistance, ease of cleaning, discoloration, and other aspects. In terms of color, glass glue comes in various colors, such as white, black, colored, and transparent.
  & nbsp; & nbsp; 2& nbsp; Acidic silicone glass adhesive: The bonding range is wide, and it has excellent adhesion to most building materials such as glass, aluminum, and oil-free wood. But it cannot be used for bonding ceramics, marble, etc.
  & nbsp; & nbsp; 3. Neutral silicone glass adhesive: can be used to bond ceramic sanitary ware, marble, etc.
  & nbsp; & nbsp; 4. There are many types of glass adhesives on the market, including acidic glass adhesives, neutral weather resistant adhesives, silica neutral structural adhesives, silicone stone adhesives, neutral anti mold adhesives, hollow glass adhesives, aluminum-plastic panel adhesives, aquarium adhesives, large glass adhesives, bathroom anti mold adhesives, acidic structural adhesives, and so on.
  & nbsp; & nbsp; Before purchasing glass adhesive, carefully read the user manual.
  & nbsp; & nbsp; Glass glue, although inconspicuous, is the most frequently used auxiliary material in home decoration processes, such as bonding cabinet countertops to kitchen walls, fixing sinks and toilets, etc. Some consumers, because they do not understand the performance of glass glue, often act recklessly; Two bottles, please;, Regardless of the bonding material, use the same glass adhesive. In fact, glass adhesives with different properties are suitable for different situations. If the wrong glass glue is used, it can cause the glue strip to break, mold, and even trouble such as window leakage and countertop leakage. Therefore, consumers should choose glass glue according to its specific purpose.
  & nbsp; & nbsp; Different performance and usage
  & nbsp; & nbsp; Most of the glass adhesives used in home decoration are silicone materials, which are divided into three types according to their properties: neutral glass adhesive, acidic glass adhesive, and water-based glass adhesive. Acidic glass adhesive has strong adhesion and some materials are corrosive, with limited applicability and strong irritant odor; Neutral glass adhesive is suitable for various materials such as marble, metal, and glass, with less irritating taste but weaker bonding strength; Water based glass glue has weak adhesion and a slow curing process, but it can be painted on top after drying, and is less commonly used in home decoration.
  & nbsp; & nbsp; Many people, due to their lack of understanding of the properties of glass glue, easily mix neutral glass glue with acidic glass glue, causing unnecessary trouble. For example, if acidic glass glue is used to install mirrors, it can corrode the mercury on the back.
  & nbsp; & nbsp; Most of the glass adhesives sold on the market now also have functions such as mold resistance and weather resistance (high and low temperature resistance), and consumers should choose according to their actual needs. Generally speaking, the sink and toilet in the bathroom, as well as the countertop in the kitchen, should be made of glass glue with anti mold properties, which can be acidic or neutral; Metal suspended ceilings, shower rooms, and mirrors should be made of anti mold neutral glass glue, rather than acidic ones; Smoke exhaust stoves and windows should be made of weather resistant neutral glass adhesive. Fish tanks have high requirements for waterproof and adhesive properties of glass glue. Acidic structural sealant should be used, and new types of polyurethane glass glue can also be used. However, their prices are relatively high, with a bottle of 300ml glass glue costing about 100 yuan.
  & nbsp; & nbsp; Most glass adhesive packaging will indicate the materials suitable for bonding, and some will also indicate the bonding strength when bonding different materials. Consumers should carefully read the instructions when purchasing glass glue.
  & nbsp; & nbsp; Don't be greedy for cheap things to save trouble
  & nbsp; & nbsp; It is reported that a typical 3-bedroom, 2-bedroom house may require around 15 pieces of glass glue. Calculated at a mid-range glass glue price of 40 yuan per piece, it would cost around 600 yuan. In addition, during the decoration process, some construction teams often wait until the time of use to notify homeowners to buy glass glue. Some homeowners, in order to save money, go to nearby markets to buy low-priced glue, which increases the possibility of buying inferior products.
  & nbsp; & nbsp; Although low-end glass glue is cheap, some can even be bought for a few yuan per bottle, its adhesion (viscosity, tensile strength), crack resistance, shrinkage resistance, aging resistance and other properties are much worse than branded glass glue. This not only affects the quality and service life of the project, but also may cause rework and delay the construction period. Therefore, when consumers choose glass glue, they should compare prices from three different sources to avoid affecting the lifespan of indoor decoration.
  & nbsp; & nbsp; So, how can we purchase glass glue with qualified quality? Firstly, it is advisable for consumers to purchase branded glass adhesive from well-known stores; Secondly, you can check whether the information on the packaging is complete and authentic, such as the factory name, date of manufacture, whether there is a certificate of conformity, quality assurance certificate, product inspection report, etc; Finally, consumers can first buy a bottle to test the gum at home, to see if the odor is unpleasant, if there are particles and bubbles, and if the curing time meets the product instructions.
  & nbsp; & nbsp; The service life is usually 5 years
  & nbsp; & nbsp; When using glass glue, there are also some things to pay attention to, otherwise it will affect the service life of the glass glue.
  & nbsp; & nbsp; The lifespan of ordinary glass glue is usually around 5 years, and even high-end glass glue has a lifespan of only seven or eight years. Therefore, when it reaches a certain age, you should pay attention to whether the glass glue in your home should be replaced; Glue application should be handled by professionalsTo avoid hitting unevenly or unevenly; When applying glue, the adhesive surface should be free of oil, dirt, and water; Within 24 hours after gluing, the glued equipment cannot be used. The shelf life of glass glue is usually between one year and one and a half years. Glass glue that has exceeded its shelf life will become unusable due to curing, and the shelf life of glass glue after opening will be correspondingly shortenedBefore use, carefully check the curing degree of the glass adhesive.
