Most likely you have used one or more kinds of adhesives for many applications already. They are any substance that is used to bond one surface to another. A lot of effective industrial adhesive is available today that is useful in various applications and industries. If you have a unique project that needs the use of an adhesive, it helps to know the different types or classifications of adhesives to guide your selection process.
Anaerobic: this adhesive is ideal for bonding almost all sorts of materials like paper, plastics, wood, glass, fabric, rubber, and more. As the name implies, the anaerobic adhesive does not need air or oxygen to set and create a very strong bond.
Resins: obviously, this adhesive is made from plastic, particularly polymers. It can be thermosetting through hot temperatures but cannot be remolded once they are cured.
Hot melt: hot melt industrial adhesive provides very quick bonding between surfaces while allowing provision for potential error corrections.
Epoxy: epoxies are a very durable and strong adhesive that is mostly used to bond concrete surfaces and is often used in automobiles and aircraft. They provide an extra bond that can’t be easily removed.
Contact Spray: what makes this kind of adhesive special and unique is its flexibility and eco-friendly ingredients. Since it is transparent and waterproof, it can bond surfaces either permanently or temporarily and works on porous materials, too.
Urethane Adhesives: they come either as thermoset or thermoplastic and offer the highest performance and flexibility. Most urethane-based industrial adhesives come either as one-pack or two-pack systems. They are also commonly used sealants, caulking, and fire-stopping materials.
So, there you go. As you can see, the industrial adhesive comes in plenty of types and is classified based on its chemical composition. If you want to learn more about each of them, just reach out to us and we would be happy to help you find the solution you need.
