Paklā is a universal material for plumbing and construction

Contrary to the widespread opinion among many women that the tow is an unsuccessful hairstyle on their lovely heads, in fact it is a necessary material in construction and plumbing work. Without it, shipbuilding enterprises, organizations engaged in laying and subsequent maintenance of pipelines and cables can not do without. As you can see, the tow is a substance that is in great demand in many highly specialized industries. But every man can easily find in the pantry a small piece of fibrous and hard to the touch material.

Technologies, proven by centuries

Pakluk produce in all corners of the world. It can not be said that it is the invention of a particular country or its people. Pakla is a raw material, which is obtained as a result of processing bast plants. Most often, flax and hemp, less often sunflower.

These plants have fibrous stems, they produce raw materials for the production of natural fabrics, while in the process of its manufacture remain illiquid fluffy particles, which is what the patch is made of. However, good material can not consist entirely of industrial debris. The quality of the pakli will then be at the proper level, if it does not contain extraneous impurities, such as straw, scab. Some unscrupulous producers manage to mix synthetic components with natural and environmentally friendly raw materials, causing the tow to lose its functions due to the loss of thermal insulation properties, in addition, such raw materials are exposed to rot.

What kind of a tow can be and how much does it cost?

According to its direct purpose, the tow is divided into two types - the one that is intended for caulking, and the sanitary one. Since the consumption of the material in both cases is incommensurable, the volumes in which the producers implement the patch can not be compared.

Konopatku sell in bales with different weights or in rolls, the sanitary tow is realized by small skeins. The cost of the material is low, but it can fluctuate with different manufacturers, because each of them has its own features and differences, such as appearance (for many buyers this is important), the presence of impregnation. Of great importance is the original quality of flax fiber, from which the tow is made. The price is usually set for one kilogram, for bale pack it is at least 20-70 rubles, the roll costs from 48-80 rubles. Tar processed raw materials are at times more expensive (about 300 rubles per 1 kg). Motorcycle plumbing can be bought on average for 10 rubles.

The towel for caulking

During construction works, the tow is the material used to seal the joints between the crowns. Most often it is used for the erection of wooden buildings. Previously, moss was used for this, but the tow is more durable, reliable and easy-to-use material. It prevents the shrinkage of the building, has excellent energy-saving properties and allows you to reliably fill the seams between the beam.

Material in bales is sold for 10, 20, 40, sometimes 60 kg. During operation, flagella are formed manually from the pack, which are pushed into the seams with the help of a special tool - caulk. Belt tow is more convenient in stacking, manufacturers offer it in several formats. The width of the canvas - 10, 15, 20 cm, its length (10, 20 or 50 m) and thickness (5-15 mm) can differ. Experts recommend konopatit construction twice: the first time - directly in the process of laying the walls, and do it need to be rounded, not with each wall separately, and the next time - a year.

Paklya plumbing

For plumbing work, a special towel is needed - impregnated. This kind of material is specially treated and indispensable when repairing water or heating systems. The tow is a proven material for decades, which allows the docking of pipe joints to be reliably sealed and prevents leaks. The structure of the fibers makes it easy to wind them on the thread, in addition, they absorb the moisture perfectly, expanding when wet.

To achieve the most effective result, the patch must be treated with resin or special impregnation, but do not apply too much solution, otherwise it will prevent the natural expansion of the pack during its wetting.
