Classification of Adhesives

Glue is a kind of material commonly used for repairing in our life. But for the bonding and repair of some special materials, such as metal, ceramics, cement or glass , the requirement of glue is not only good adhesion, but also high temperature resistance.

Adhesive is the material that can make the adherend combine together through the adhesion. Adhesive is a general standard term, including glue, mastic, glue paste, etc.

Classification by main chemical composition or base material

According to the main chemical composition or base material of the adhesive, the adhesive can be divided into inorganic adhesive and organic adhesive.

Classification by apparent physical form

According to the appearance of adhesives on the market, adhesives are often divided into four types: solvent type, emulsion type, paste type and solid type.

Classification by solidification method

In the process of adhesive bonding, solidification is generally required. According to its curing mode, it can be divided into water-based evaporation type, solvent evaporation type, hot-melt type, chemical reaction type and pressure-sensitive type.
