Major Categories of Adhesives and their Applications


An adhesive is such a thing, which
can help you to fix some objects onto anything. You can use it to stick images
into your scrapbook or paste two pieces of wooden blocks or join anything.
Thus, these bonding agents are very useful in a lot of ways. You can avail
adhesives items in various types, which include tape such as duct tape that are
utilized to do some repairs.


 Some bonding items such as
glues may take a little time to dry. It may be quite helpful if you are too
much concerned about doing faults. If you stick two things together and then
decide that you have to remove it, then you may take it off with no risk of
tearing the object. 

There are some products that can bond the objects almost
instantly. Some different sorts of adhesives are discussed here –

Natural Latex

This natural latex along with some
solid substance is used for creating molds to cast plaster, wax, some metals,
and also polyester articles. It has the capacity to contract around the article
to be replicated. Latex is even being utilized to alleviate desert soils in
order to make them appropriate for agricultural purposes.

 Toughened Acrylic

These can offer very high strength as
well as hardiness. In this case, systems of one and two parts are accessible.
In two part structures, no addition is needed as the adhesive is used to a
single substrate. They accept the least surface preparation and attach well to
a broad variety of materials.

 SBR Latex

It is applied in repairing and
leveling solid surfaces. It is also used in the normal reconstruction work.
This product can enhance the mortar tensile potency. The ratio of styrene to
butadiene controls polymer properties. This SBR is not parallel to
thermoplastic elastomer, which is created from the similar monomers.

 PVA Homopolymer Emulsion

These are the main form wherein
polyvinyl acetate is utilized in the market of adhesive items. PVAc emulsions
show outstanding compatibility with several modifying resins. Besides this
compatibility, the grade or amount of protective colloid applied to create the
emulsion involves adhesive properties. The differences in type and amount of
the colloid applied in creating the PVAc emulsion bring in an impact on the
function of adhesive coating.

 Hot melt

It is also called as the hot glue,
and is a type of thermoplastic gum, which is usually supplied in cylindrical
sticks of different diameters. It is designed to get dissolved in a hot glue
gun. This gun utilizes a constant-duty heating component to soften the plastic
paste, which can be pushed with the gun by an automatic trigger mechanism. The
glue, which gets squeezed out of the nozzle, is at first quite hot to burn. The
glue is shabby when it is hot, and later solidifies within few seconds. Hot
melt pastes can also be used by spurting or dipping.

 In addition to all these, you
can get
other types of adhesives in the market
  like VAE Copolymer
Emulsion, dextrin, animal glue and many more.
