Adhesives, also known as glue, cement, mucilage, or paste, are substances used to bond materials together by surface attachment. They come in various types, each suited for specific applications and conditions2. Here are some common types of adhesives and their uses:
Types of Adhesives
Epoxy Adhesives: Known for their high temperature and solvent resistance, epoxies are used for bonding metals, ceramics, wood, and plastics.
Polyurethane Adhesives: These are polymer-based adhesives that offer high strength and permanent elasticity, often used in construction and the transport industry.
Polyimide Adhesives: These synthetic polymers are known for their strength, heat, and chemical resistance, often used in high-temperature applications.
Hot Melt Adhesives: These adhesives are applied in liquid form using heat and solidify upon cooling, commonly used in packaging and woodworking.
Paste Adhesives: High in viscosity, paste adhesives are ideal for gap filling and are usually applied with tools like a caulking gun.
Liquid Adhesives: These are easy to apply but can take longer to cure, often used in thin layers for various bonding applications.
Adhesive Films: Available in rolls or pre-cut shapes, these films provide easy application and are used in various industrial applications.
Adhesive Pellets: Typically used in hot melt guns, these pellets are melted and sprayed onto surfaces.
