Safe glue for children

Safety of glue is important for children's creativity

Among amateurs and professionals, hand-made adhesives are necessary to create masterpieces using decoupage, scrapbooking, quilling, papier-mache and other types of skillful handmade work.

On an industrial scale, the ability of PVA glue to improve the strength of stationery materials is appreciated, therefore it is often used in building putty mixtures.

Common features and differences of adhesives

The first glue was invented more than ten thousand years ago, and its basis was made up of substances of plant and animal origin - resin of trees, bones, tendons, fish scales, etc. Since the beginning of the 20th century, synthetic components have been added to office glue. Common signs of different brands of modern stationery glue:

Mineral origin

Profitability

Frost resistance

Drying transparency

Lack of unpleasant odors

Versatility of application

The main differences are in terms of storage and operating rules, as well as in the color range, which ranges from transparent to light yellow.

Glue roller - convenient and economical

Stationery glue is most often available in liquid and solid form. Recently, the popularity of aerosol adhesives has increased.

Adhesive composition and release forms

The composition of the liquid PVA glue includes polyvinyl acetate, water, plasticizers and modifying additives; in consistency, it resembles thin sour cream. A less popular liquid silicate glue (liquid glass) is a colorless aqueous solution of potassium or sodium semi-silicates. Available in the form of bottles with a brush or tubes with a dispenser.

The hard adhesive is composed of polyvinyl acetate or polyvinylpyrrolidone and glycerin, which glides smoothly over the paper. The advantages of such glue include the impossibility of spilling, the disadvantages - low adhesiveness is good only for paper and unsuitable for gluing parts made of more durable materials - cardboard, wood, plastic, etc. Available as pencil sticks.

Aerosol adhesive ideal for large surfaces

The spray glue is made on the basis of synthetic rubbers, which have proven themselves well for gluing a wide variety of materials. This form of release is ideal for working with large surfaces, as it provides an economical and uniform application of the adhesive.

An excellent alternative to liquid adhesives is the glue roller , which consists of a dispenser and double-sided adhesive tape. The advantages of this form of release are maximum accuracy in work and more accurate application of glue to the surface.

PVA glue

According to the manufacturers, modern compositions of stationery adhesives are completely safe for humans, they are easily washed off the skin of the hands and do not harm health. Despite this, we still advise for children's creativity to choose a form of glue that prevents direct contact with the chemical composition. Before work, explain to your child how to properly handle a tube, bottle, roller or stick of glue so as not to stain hands, clothes and everything around, teach to avoid accidental contact with eyes, nose and mouth.
