Frequently Asked Questions - Adhesives, Glues, Epoxy & Sealants
What are the different types of adhesives?
Adhesives can be divided into two main categories: permanent adhesives and removable adhesives. Permanent adhesives are designed to provide a strong bond that holds over time and cannot easily be separated or removed. Examples of permanent adhesives include cyanoacrylate glues, epoxy, hot glue, super glues, and adhesives that are applied with heat or pressure.
Removable adhesives are designed to allow objects to be separated without damaging either item. Examples of removable adhesives include double-sided adhesive tape, hook-and-loop fasteners, temporary glues, peelable adhesives, and rubber cement. Depending on the application, adhesives may also be divided into categories based on their properties, such as water resistance or solvent resistance.
Finally, adhesives can also be categorised by the materials they are used to bond, such as wood adhesives or metal adhesives. When selecting an adhesive, it is important to make sure that it is suitable for the material or application in question. It is also important to consider environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, which can affect adhesion performance.
What are adhesives used for?
Adhesives are used in a variety of applications, including construction, manufacturing, and everyday life. Adhesives can be used to bond materials together or fill gaps between components. They are also often used as adhesion promoters to help other adhesives form stronger bonds. Adhesives can provide a range of benefits over traditional mechanical fasteners, including improved aesthetics and reduced labour costs. As adhesives continue to become more advanced and versatile, they are being used in an increasingly wide range of applications.
How do adhesives work?
Adhesives work by adhering two surfaces together, forming a bond between them. This process is known as adhesion and involves the adhesive molecules adhering to one another as well as to the surfaces of both materials.
What is the difference between adhesives and sealants?
The main difference between adhesives and sealants is that adhesives are used to bond two surfaces together, while sealants are used to fill gaps between surfaces or components.
Adhesives often have a stronger adhesion than sealants and create a more permanent bond. Sealants, on the other hand, can be used for temporary applications or non-structural bonds and may not require as strong a bond. Adhesives and sealants can often be used in combination to achieve the desired adhesion properties.
