The difference between aquarium glue and silicone glue
With the introduction of silicone adhesives to the adhesive market in Iran, including their basic applications; They were used to make aquariums. Therefore, the term aquarium adhesives for silicone adhesives is a slang and market term among trades that deal with adhesives.
Silicone adhesives (aquarium adhesive) have a single component structure and these adhesives can be classified as follows:
All-purpose aquarium silicone glue (all purpose or multi purpose)
This type of glue is also known in the market with the commercial term universal or universal.
Silicone aquarium glue for aquariums
Aquarium glue for aquarium, which is also known as fish glue.
As its name suggests, this glue is used exclusively for making aquariums, and its difference from other models of silicone aquarium glues is that this glue can be in direct contact with water for a long time. It means that it can float in water. Without tearing or bacteria growing in it.
If other models of this glue can only be insulated against water (temporarily) and other materials.
Aquarium silicone glue for mirror (mirror)
These adhesives are completely non-acidic and neutral due to their properties; Mercury does not blacken the back of the mirror and is also known as neutral adhesives.
Mazda washer glue or RTV silicone
Thermal adhesives are widely used in the automotive industry due to their high resistance to heat and are used for car engine gaskets. For this reason, they are also known as washer adhesives.
Another name used for these glues is Mazda glue. The history of naming this glue as Mazda glue starts from the place where this glue first started operating in Iran under the Mazda brand.
Washer glue or Mazda glue is another type of silicone glue that is used in automotive industries for sealing differentials, valve covers, water pumps and cylinder heads, or even in other uses at home, such as sealing pipes in residential houses and the environment. Work is also used. This glue is also known as cylinder head gasket glue among the general public.
The following are the features of this glue:
High thermal resistance
High chemical resistance against most materials and solvents
Excellent adhesion
High strength
Free from cracking, shrinkage and brittleness after drying due to high flexibility
Mazda glue is not recommended for surfaces that are in contact with gasoline or diesel.
The difference between aquarium glue and mastic glue
In order to understand the difference between aquarium adhesives and mastic adhesives, we will examine the types of gaskets, seals, or sealants.
All the mentioned terms are used with the same purpose, which is insulation of surfaces or seams and gaps, etc.
Sealants are divided into two categories:
1. Sealant:
It is a sealant that can, in addition to insulating materials such as dust, etc., it also has the feature of insulating against water; It is so-called waterproof.
Such as: isogams and concretes used in construction and aquarium silicone adhesives, which are also known as sealants and sealing adhesives.
2. Non-waterproof sealant:
As its name suggests, its job is to insulate all materials except water. Such as plaster, putty and mastic adhesives
So, the position of mastic glue in these categories was determined.
Mastic glue is a glue that is known as sealant paste in the market and is used for installing tiles, insulation around doors and windows and openings inside walls and ceilings or any other surface that is not in permanent contact with water.
Although mastic is good for hard and non-porous surfaces (in porous surfaces, it may penetrate into the pores over time and change the color of the surfaces), but it has the ability to connect several materials permanently.
In general, each of the aquarium adhesives and mastic has the same and different characteristics, and according to your type of work, it determines which of these adhesives is most necessary for your work.
Therefore, if you intend to seal around the sink and vanity, or if you want to glue the mirror and glass of the aquarium, you can use different types of silicone and aquarium glue, and if you only want to fill around the door and window, and the holes inside the wall or any other surfaces, you can use it. Use mastic adhesives that have high adhesion and strength and are colorable.
Mastic can be used only in dry or wet areas.
It cannot be used in areas that are immersed in water, such as swimming pools. Wood wall cladding and walls, tiles behind kitchen cabinets are good areas to use mastic. Also, this glue is widely used by door and window installers for sealing and insulating and soundproofing PVC windows.
Often, mastic adhesives are used for sealing water and sewage channels, water and sewage tanks or flooring.
Some mastics have properties such as resistance to petroleum products, and others are used to repair asphalt cracks.
Due to the presence of mortar in its composition, mastic does not have a gel state at all, so it has the ability to be colored.
