Adhesives Properties and Formulation

Description:

Adhesives surround us in natureand in our daily lives. Adhesive, or glue, is a mixture in a liquid or semiliquid state that is capable of holding materials together by surfaceattachment. An adhesive is a compound that adheres or bonds two items togetherso as to form a single unit. Adhesives may come from either natural orsynthetic sources. Adhesives and sealants virtually touch every part of ourlives. Some modern adhesives are extremely strong, and are becoming increasinglyimportant in modern construction and industry. A large and growing number ofadhesives are available in the market. Adhesives for this growing market rangefrom the simplest glues and mucilages for furniture making and repair, to metalto metal bonding for frame construction. There is no end in sight to the newmaterials, new formulation, and new uses to which adhesives will be put in thefuture. Formulations generally are compounded to satisfy a special need orneeds. Therefore, uniformity of neither product nor end use exists.  Applicatorsof different adhesives are designed according to the adhesive being used andthe size of the area to which the adhesive will be applied. The adhesive isapplied to either one or both of the materials being bonded. The pieces arealigned and pressure is added to aid in adhesion and rid the bond of airbubbles. Adhesives are of great use across innumerable industrial andcommercial applications.
