Instructions for the use of TechnoNIKOL foam-glue, description and consumption characteristics
TechnoNIKOL foam glue is an effective substance that provides a strong bond between polystyrene foam and extrusion panels. The composition provides excellent adhesion. Thanks to this, it is used as a base for concrete and wooden structures. To achieve good results in the use of the composition, you must strictly follow the instructions.
Distinctive features and purpose
This substance is a one-component polyurethane adhesive. It is used for fastening panels - polystyrene and extrusion. The substance is characterized by high adhesion parameters. This makes it suitable for concrete or wood substrates.
Polyurethane foam contains special additives. They make the product flame retardant. The product promotes insulation. For this, it is associated with insulating plates. The composition helps to seal the seams.
The mounting adhesive foam is very easy to apply.It reduces the time spent on insulation. It is used for working with plasterboard elements, aerated concrete, gypsum fibers. Also, the substance helps to bond glass and magnesium sheets.
The material is produced in cylinders. They include 400 to 1000 milliliters of product. The composition is consumed depending on the amount of the binder component. Professional glue, which has a volume of 1000 milliliters, contains 750 milliliters of binder.
TechnoNIKOL glue is characterized by its resistance to water and mold. It is used for interior work. It is also allowed to use it outdoors. The substance is used for walls, roofs, basements. It is also suitable for foundation. Also, the composition is used for floor coverings. The composition is suitable for new buildings and structures whose restoration is planned.
The glue is characterized by special properties. It helps to temporarily repair XPS and EPS cards.
The tool provides adhesion to cement, particleboard, OSB and mineral structures.
Compound
The substance contains various targeted additives. In this case, the key role is assigned to isocyanate oligomers. These substances cause the displacement of isobutane and propane. This occurs during a reaction with oxygen from the external environment.
Features
When choosing a foam glue, you should definitely familiarize yourself with its main characteristics.
Consumption
The flow rate is influenced by the size of the cylinder. The capacity of 0.75 liters is enough for an area of 10x12 square meters. With a volume of 0.4 liters, the consumption is 2x4 square meters.The substance consumption of the balloon is 85%.
Peel time
It takes a maximum of 10 minutes to take off.
Initial polymerization time
The glue begins to harden in a quarter of an hour.
Complete drying time
Complete drying of the substance takes a day.
Optimal humidity level
Ideal humidity parameters during work are 50%.
Compositing density
When the substance dries, it has a density of 25 grams per cubic centimeter.
Grip level
Adhesion to concrete reaches 0.4 megapascals.
Thermal conductivity level
Thermal conductivity values are 0.035 watts per meter-Kelvin.
Optimal temperature
It is recommended to carry out work at a temperature of 0 ... + 35 degrees.
Adhesion to polystyrene foam
Adhesion parameters with expanded polystyrene are 0.09 megapascals.

Using the tool, it is possible to correct the surfaces in a quarter of an hour. The composition can be used for insulation. It is carried out inside and outside.
Manual
To achieve a strong and reliable fixation, it is worth getting acquainted with the key rules for using the substance. First of all, you need to properly prepare the surface. It must be perfectly dry and clean.
The material should be free of debris or other contaminants. Proper preparation promotes adhesion. The base should be wiped or washed. After that, it must be thoroughly dried.
It is recommended to apply the glue with an assembly gun. A balloon is also suitable for this purpose. The second method is much more convenient, as it allows you to minimize the cost of foam.
To apply the substance, you need to perform the following steps:
- place the cylinder on a flat surface - the valve should be facing up;
- remove the protective cap;
- connect the container with a specific part of the mounting gun;
- shake the container;
- apply glue, slightly departing from the edges - the strips of the substance should not exceed 3 centimeters;
- apply glue to the central part - while the strip should be directed from top to bottom;
- leave for 5 minutes and fix the plate to the base - it is not recommended to tear it from the wall during the movement;
- press the expanded polystyrene and fix it in the required position - it must remain in this form until the glue hardens;
- repeat the work - leave a gap of 3 millimeters between the tiles;
- after drying, use glue foam - this will help fill the gaps;
- after 24 hours, cut the crawled material with a knife and remove the glue stains with a special cleaning agent.
Advantages and disadvantages
The special composition is considered more effective than ordinary tile adhesive. The advantages of Technonikol products are:
- ease of use - the product does not require dilution, it is easily squeezed out of the container;
- shorten the period of work - this is due to convenience and quick adjustment;
- the possibility of sealing cracks;
- enough time to locate the slab;
- lack of thermal bridges;
- secure fastening, excellent adhesion to different materials;
- water and mold resistance - this eliminates the need for antifungal treatment;
- the ability to use for different types of work - both outdoors and indoors.
The only drawback of the substance is considered to be a higher cost compared to the available tile adhesive. It is also forbidden to use the substance in the gel. To carry out repair work, you will have to wait for the heat.
Important selection criteria when buying
When choosing a foam glue, the release date should be taken into account. If the shelf life has expired, the substance will change its characteristics. This will negatively affect the reliability of the fastening.
A high-quality composition is characterized by good density. Too thin a consistency will increase flow. This creates additional costs.
When choosing a substance, preference should be given to a composition that can be used at different temperatures. Frost-resistant glue is very popular.
To verify the quality of the product, you must request a certificate from the seller. It should be for each type of foam glue.
Additional tips and tricks
In order for the glue to provide reliable fixation, these rules should be followed:
- it is permitted to store and transport the cylinder only vertically;
- the temperature regime should be + 5-35 degrees;
- shelf life - 1 year, for some species - 18 months.
TechnoNIKOL adhesive foam is characterized by high efficiency and provides reliable fastening of various materials. To be successful in using the substance, you must strictly follow the instructions for its application.
