Substance applied to mating surfaces to bond them together by surface attachment
Any material that will usefully hold two or more objects together solely by intimate surface contact
A substance used to join two materials together, by chemical or mechanical action Generally applied as a liquid, or as a solid activated by heat or pressure A desirable characteristic of adhesives used in conservation is reversibility
A substance that causes two materials to adhere Most wallpaper adhesives are cellulose, clay or starch based BACK TO TOP
A substance capable of holding materials together by surface attachment Various descriptive adjectives are used with the term adhesive to indicate certain characteristics: physical (liquid adhesive, tape adhesive), chemical type (silicate adhesive, resin adhesive), materials bonded (paper adhesive), and conditions of use (hot-set adhesive)
A substance that causes two or more materials to bond The action of bonding varies among adhesive types (e g , pressure-sensitive vs glue)
A substance used to bond two substances together by surface attachment Examples are resins, formaldehyde, glue, paste, cement, putty and polyvinyl resin emulsions Silicates act as adhesives in the formation of paper fiber drums and tubes
a substance capable of holding materials together by surface contact (permanent or removable)
A material capable of holding other materials together by surface attachment Glues, cements, pastes, and mucilage are some common adhesives
A material capable of bonding one surface to another Adhesives are used in the plastics industry to join a plastic article to another article of (a) the same plastic, (b) a different plastic, or (c) a nonplastic material
a substance used to stick materials together; examples include pva glue, cow gum, low temperature hot melt glue
A material capable of holding other materials together by adhesion (see definition above)
A sticky material or glue that adheres two surfaces Construction uses include adhering tile to subflooring or sealing joints between trusses and roof decking
A substance capable of holding material together by surface attachment A general term that includes glue, cement, mastic, and paste
Applying a pressure sensitive vinyl to the surface of an awning This can be done through the process of eradication, painting or welding (heat sealing)
Material that resists adhesion; applied to surface to prevent sticking, heat setting, etc
A substance that is capable of bonding two materials together by surface attachment It includes cements, mucilage, paste, and glue
A tacky substance capable of holding two materials together when placed in between
(glue)(cermet)(gum) a substance capable of holding materials together by surface attachment
A substance capable of holding two materials together by surface attachment In the handbook, the term is used specifically to designate structural adhesives, those which produce attachments capable of transmitting significant structural loads
Paper or fabric tape with an adhesive layer applied The adhesive layer is generally activated by pressure, or by the application of heat or water Pressure sensitive or 'sticky' tapes should not be used for materials intended for long term preservation, since the adhesive degrades and yellows and the adhesive residues can become impossible to remove
Hot melt adhesive (HMA), also known as hot glue, is a form of thermoplastic adhesive that is commonly supplied in solid cylindrical sticks of various diameters, designed to be melted in an electric hot glue gun. The gun uses a continuous-duty heating element to melt the plastic glue, which may be pushed through the gun by a mechanical trigger mechanism, or directly by the user. The glue squeezed out of the heated nozzle is initially hot enough to burn and blister skin. The glue is tacky when hot, and hardens in anywhere from a few seconds to one minute. Hot melt adhesives can be also be applied by dipping or spraying
Something that is self-adhesive is covered on one side with a sticky substance like glue, so that it will stick to surfaces. self-adhesive labels. a self-adhesive envelope, bandage etc has a sticky surface and does not need liquid or glue to make it stay closed
