Adhesive Chemical

About Adhesive Chemical

An adhesive is any non-metallic substance used to stick two or more objects together, such as glue, cement, or paste. It works by binding surfaces together through cohesive forces and surface attachment, resisting separation. Adhesives can be natural (like tree sap or beeswax) or synthetic, with modern synthetic adhesives offering better consistency and bond strength for a wide range of applications. Types of adhesives Natural: Derived from organic sources like tree sap or beeswax. Synthetic: Manufactured from a variety of substances, often engineered for specific applications and properties like consistency and bond strength. Consumer: Designed for everyday use by the general public. Industrial: Engineered for specialized needs in various industries. How they work Surface attachment: Adhesives create a bond by attaching to the surfaces of the items being joined. Cohesion: They also have internal strength to hold themselves together. Interlocking: Some adhesives work by filling the pores or voids on a surface, creating a physical interlocking bond.
