Four basic properties of glass

Glass is an amorphous solid with a random structure (microscopically, glass is also a liquid), and its atoms do not have a long-range order in space like crystals, but have short-range order similar to liquid. The glass maintains a specific shape like a solid, unlike gravity, which flows with gravity.

Glass has four basic properties:

(1) Isotropic: The atomic arrangement of glass is irregular, and its atoms have statistical uniformity in space. In an ideal state, the physical and chemical properties (such as refractive index, hardness, modulus of elasticity, coefficient of thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, etc.) of the homogeneous glass are the same in all directions.

(2) No fixed melting point: The conversion of solid from glass to liquid is carried out in a certain temperature range (ie, softening temperature range). Unlike crystalline materials, there is no fixed melting point. The softening temperature range is Tg~T1, Tg is the transition temperature, T1 is the liquidus temperature, and the corresponding viscosity is 10 dPa·s and 10 dPa·s, respectively.

(3) Metastability: The glassy substance is generally obtained by rapid cooling of the melt. When the transition from the molten state to the glass state, the viscosity increases sharply during the cooling process, and the particles do not have a regular arrangement to form crystals, which are not released. The latent heat of crystallization, therefore, the glassy substance contains a higher internal energy than the crystalline material, and its energy is between the molten state and the crystalline state, and is metastable. From a mechanical point of view, glass is an unstable high-energy state, such as the tendency of low-energy state transformation, that is, the tendency of crystallization, so glass is a metastable solid material.

(4) Graduality and reversibility: The process of the glassy substance from the molten state to the solid state is gradual, and the changes in physical and chemical properties are also continuous and gradual. This is markedly different from the crystallization process of the melt, and a new phase is inevitable in the crystallization process, and many properties are mutated near the crystallization temperature point. The glassy substance is completed from a molten state to a solid state in a wide temperature range. As the temperature gradually decreases, the viscosity of the glass melt gradually increases, and finally a solid glass is formed, but no new phase is formed in the process. On the contrary, the process of heating the glass into a melt is also gradual.

General Safety Information:

1. Check if the plug cord was in good condition, and if there is stand before plug into the electrical outlet ; Check if the used glue gun has glue flow through back of the tunnel;

2. wait 5-10 minutes to allow glue to soften, stand up the glue gun on the table when not in use;

3. Touch nozzle to any clean, dry surface you wish to bond, to avoid any impurity stop the nozzle;

4. If the glue could not flow from the nozzle when the glue gun start to work, check if the glue gun are heating;

If glue gun can not be heated, there are following reasons:
1 Plug cord into electrical outlet not properly;
2 Glue gun has been destroyed owing to inner cord short circuit;

If glue gun can be heated, there are following reasons: Nozzle has been stopped by any impurity, ask careerman to manage it.

5. Do not use the glue gun under moist climate, humidity will affect insulation and cause electric shock;

6. Do not touch the nozzle or melted glue;

7. Do not remove out the melted glue stick from the tunnel back side, it will damaged the glue gun as well as scalding person hands.

8. Do not to disassemble or assemble any glue gun accessories freely, it will cause glue gun do not work properly;

9. Keep out of reach of children and stocked it beyond any of Children palpable side;

10. Only used for melting glue stick, no other usage;

11. When in use, there are any glue flow back from tunnel, stop using immediately, wait for careerman clean the glue;

12. Close the power if the glue gun not in use after 15 minutes;


Important Caution:

1. Before use the glue gun, check if the plug cord into electrical outlet properly;

2. When glue gun in first use, the heating element will have small smoke, it is normal situation, but the smoke will disappeared after 10 minutes;

3. After power, not for a long time in standby mode(not longer for 20 minutes), when the suspension of use, unplug first.

4. Avoid to use the glue gun under very hot or very cold environments.

5. Better not work under direct cold wind blowing, it will reduce efficiency and loss power

6. When in continuous using, do not press the trigger with great pressure, and try to squeeze out the un-melted glue, it would damage the glue gun

7. Not applicable for bonding heavy objects or objects needed strong adhesive

8. The quality of glue stick will directly influence the glue gun function and sticking objects quality;

9. If the power cord is damaged, do not replace it by yourself, must ask for professionals to replace it.

10. This tools must b e placed in its position when not in use. And storage before the tools complete cooled.

11. Be careful when using any other electrical appliance with flammable material.

12. Not applicable for a long time in the same place.

13. Do not use an explosive gas atmospheres.

14. Note that heat may be the line of sigh, combustible materials.

15. Do not leave equipment unattended when switched on.

16. This appliance is not intended for use by persons(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

17. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.


Using methods

1. Glue gun using voltage is 110-220V AC,50/60Hz;

2. Tip gun forward on stand and place a piece of cardboard under the nozzle

3. Use 7-8mm (mini trigger glue gun), 11-12(big trigger glue gun), insert glue sticks through
tunnel at back of gun

4. After power, wait for 5-10 minutes to allow glue to soften

After glue softens, squeeze trigger to feed glue through glue barrel. Excessive force will damage glue gun. Put down nozzle after work, disconnect the power plug
