Glueing
CHOICE OF THE GLUE
The choice of the best glueing system is the first step that ensures a long-lasting application.
When selecting the most suitable glue, the following factors have to be considered:
The cavity type / gap for glueing
The stone size / glued surface
The glueing properties and required surface treatment
The type of the base material
Cyanoacrylate
Modified silicone
Dispersive
E 6000
(Eclectic product)

Konishi Ultrabond SU
(Konishi Co., Ltd.)
Cemedine Super XG
(Cemedine Co., Ltd.)
UHU Sekundenkleber
(UHU GmbH)
There are many producers of epoxy glues. The crucial quality of the glue is its curing
time of ca. 12 hours at 20 C. The use of epoxy glues Rapid is not recommended.
Never use a quick setting glue which could damage the stone foiling! The use of
other unmentioned glues has to be discussed with the Preciosa components sales
representative.

PRESSURE
The application pressure depends on the chosen Hotfix stones, base material and technical
equipment (machines etc.). Choosing an appropriate pressure when applying the Hotfix stones
is another of the decisive factors for a high-quality bond between the stone and the base
material. It is recommended to test the pressure on a material sample.
21
HOTFIX APPLICATION
Thanks to the unique adhesive, the Hotfix stones can be very gently applied onto most textile
materials. Our Hotfix stones are designed to ensure maximum smoothness and efficiency in
your production process, thus minimizing production costs. Our adhesive layer on the bottom
of the stones enables the use of all state of the art heat-setting devices based on simultaneous
application of heat and pressure as well as ultrasonic devices with application times from 0.3
sec. per one stone.

All application values specified in the table are guidelines only. The optimization of
these for the particular size of the stone, type of textile material and any setting
device requires testing on a sample piece of the carrier material used. Tests should
be always carried out from the start of production. Bond strength of Preciosa stones
on textiles reaches its desired quality in 24 hours from application, therefore it is not
recommended to carry out any testing and washing of applied stones before his time.
