Pomade Silicone
Aquarium adhesive or silicone adhesive is a type of liquid adhesive primarily used for sealing and waterproofing purposes. This type of adhesive is a chemical adhesive that is polymerized and made from a combination of organic materials. The predominant elements in these adhesives are silicone and oxygen, which provide high resistance to temperature changes and moisture penetration. This also results in a strong molecular structure. These characteristics enhance the strength and stability of the adhesive, allowing it to be used for bonding various surfaces. They are commonly sold in pressure tubes for convenient use. These adhesives are resistant to water, moisture, temperature, sound, etc., which is why they were predominantly used in the past for aquarium construction. Hence, this category of adhesives is also referred to as aquarium adhesives. Given the mentioned properties, they can also be used for other purposes such as sealing glass in buildings, installing sinks and washbasins, and fixing building tiles, among others.

product usage
High resistance to temperature and temperature changes
One of the important features of these adhesives is their high resistance to temperature changes. A distinctive feature that increases the use of this type of adhesive in the industry.
Elastic feature
The texture of this type of industrial adhesive is jelly-like; Which gives it a special tensile strength and tensile state. To make it easier to use, these adhesives are often sold in rifle or pressure tubes. So that during use, the glue can be injected from the injection pipe to the desired surfaces with a little pressure.
High resistance to moisture and water penetration
Another important feature of silicone adhesives is their high resistance to water penetration and moisture. However, the most important industrial uses of these adhesives include sealing. For example, you can use these adhesives to seal building glass. This industrial adhesive is also used for installing toilets, dishwashers, sinks, bathroom, and toilet tiles, and so on.
Insulation
silicone adhesives also have good resistance to heat transfer. For example, the sealing of building windows can be used again. If you want to prevent heat loss during the cold seasons of the year, or if you feel cold wind coming in through the window seams, you can use these adhesives for sealing.
Chemical neutrality
Silicon is almost a chemically neutral compound. As a result, it can be used in industrial processes without worry. Due to the fact that silicone is also insulated against heat and prevents the penetration of moisture, it is an ideal adhesive for sealing and sealing industrial devices.
Electrical conduction
In addition to being a good insulator against heat transfer, this adhesive is also a good electrical insulator against electric current. Silicon is a non-conducting material and will not fail molecularly against high electric currents.
how to maintain
Keep away from moisture and on a wooden pallet with a maximum of 6 cartons in height.
Store at -10 to +50 degrees Celsius.
How to use
- Before proceeding to the injection of glue, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the desired surfaces. In case of sealing, the glass should be cleaned well and free of any dust.
Methods for removing aquarium glue from surfaces
- If silicone glue has been spilled on your hands or work clothes, you can wipe it off the surface with a cloth or nylon before the glue dries. Nylon is easier to use in such cases. After removing the glue, you can use warm water and detergent to prevent the effect.
- In cases where you use glue for sealing and some of it exceeds the specified limit, you can use nylon or a cloth to clean the surfaces.
- If the glue dries, if it is possible to remove the glue with a spatula, you can get help from a spatula. To eliminate its effect, if it is on the fabric, you should use a strong detergent.
- If it is not possible to remove the glue with a spatula, you can use solvents such as acetone or vinegar.
- In some cases, by heating the glue with the help of a hairdryer, its texture will be softer and can be separated.
