Pharmacological capacities and characteristics of the adhesive
Before using the product, it is necessary to study its technical and pharmacological properties.This will help to understand the peculiarities of the action of the drug.
BF-6 glue is called a medical product that has an antiseptic and healing effect. Many people use it as an insulating agent to heal wounds that appear on the surface of the skin. In addition, glue is used in dentistry to isolate and protect tooth roots from tissue destruction. After using the product, a film forms on the treated surface, which is protected from chemical and mechanical influences.
BF Adhesive Brands and Applications
There are different grades of adhesives available that can be used for more than just healing cut wounds. Therefore, before buying medicinal glue, you need to familiarize yourself with its varieties.
BF-2
Many are interested in the purpose of the BF-2 and in what areas of activity it is used. Most often it is used when gluing metal structures from stainless fabrics. BF-2 is also used to bond ceramics, glass and wood. Advantages of the adhesive include its resistance to high humidity and its electrical insulation properties.
BF-4
BF-4 glue is a solution based on formaldehyde resin and alcohol. Its features include:
- high temperature resistance;
- moisture and rot resistance.
The solution is used for bonding stainless steel, non-ferrous metals and wood. It is also often used when working with materials that are in an alkaline environment.
BF-2N and BF-4N
Experts advise using these tools when working with ferrous metal products. Such glue tolerates low and high temperature indicators without any problems. BF-2N and BF-4N have the same advantages, which include:
- a high level of viscosity that remains at any temperature;
- strength of ties.
BF-88
People who have never used the BF-88 do not know what this solution sticks. It is a versatile adhesive used for bonding fabrics, rubber, plastics, wood and polymers. Less commonly, it is used to bond fabric materials to glass, concrete, and iron.
BF-88 contains solvents and must therefore be used with great care so that the liquid does not penetrate the skin.
BF-19
This tool is used to work rubber, paper, cardboard, leather, metal and glass. Using the BF-19 has several advantages:
- high adhesive density;
- Versatility;
- adhesive resistance to extreme temperatures and high humidity.
BF-6
In medicine, many people use BF-6, which helps restore skin after minor cuts, burns, or bruises. They also cover the roots of the teeth during the treatment of dental infectious foci.
How to use glue correctly
Instructions for use will help you use the glue correctly, so you need to familiarize yourself with it. The adhesive is applied externally and carefully applied to the damaged area of the skin. 4-5 minutes after application, the surface will be covered with a film, which can only be washed off with the next application of the glue.
Is it necessary to treat the wound before applying
Before applying glue to an open wound, it must be pre-treated. It is thoroughly washed with water to get rid of contamination. Then the bleeding is stopped and the area to be covered with adhesive is dried. After gluing, the wound is washed again to clean it from the remnants of BF-6.
How much dries the drug
Many wonder how long it will take for the drug to dry completely. Some claim it takes a long time to dry, but it doesn't. BF-6 is called a fast-drying adhesive because it dries in five minutes.
How to remove glue from skin
Make sure the wound is completely healed before washing off the glue. If it is fresh, it is not recommended to wash off the adhesive layer from the surface of the skin. Premature rinsing of adhesive residues promotes the penetration of infection into the wound. The main signs of infection include swelling of the skin, pain and discharge of purulent fluid.
If the wound has healed, the remaining adhesive can be removed. In most cases, the adhesive can be removed manually without any problem. Just grab one of the edges and carefully pull it out. However, sometimes it adheres strongly to the surface and you need to think about how to dissolve it. You can use essential oil or alcohol to remove the product.
Can I use it during pregnancy and childhood?
Some experts argue that BF-6 cannot be used during pregnancy, but this is not the case. The use of glue in therapeutic doses does not harm pregnant women, so they can use it.
In childhood, the use of medical glue is contraindicated.
Contraindications
The tool has a number of contraindications that you should familiarize yourself with before using it. The BF-6 is prohibited in the following cases:
- Childhood. The instructions for use of the glue indicate that it should not be used when treating children under one year old.
- Allergy.For people with individual intolerance to the components of the composition of the product, it is better not to use BF-6, since after its use side effects may appear.
Side effects

- difficulty breathing;
- swelling of the mucous membrane;
- the appearance of a rash on the surface of the skin;
- itching and redness of the skin.
Drugs interactions
BF-6 can be used with other antibiotics, as no drug interactions of the adhesive with drugs have been identified.
Cost and storage conditions
BF-6 belongs to the group of available drugs, since the average cost of a product is 150-250 rubles. To prevent the purchased glue from deteriorating, it must be stored under suitable conditions. When choosing a place for storage, you should pay attention to the temperature indicators in the room. Experts advise to store BF-6 in a place where the air temperature will not exceed 25 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the adhesive should not be left for a long time near open flames or heaters.
In addition, care must be taken that the adhesive is not stored in a place accessible to children. To prevent children from accessing BF-6, the tube containing the agent is kept in a locked box. Under optimal conditions, the drug does not deteriorate for four years.
Drug analogues
Sometimes people do not have the opportunity to use BF-6, and they have to look for other analogues.There are two agents that have a similar effect:
- New skin liquid bandage. This product is an effective medical glue used to treat cuts and wounds on the skin. The drug is applied to the surface in the morning and washed off before bedtime. It is best to use an alcohol solution to remove the glue crust.
