3- The Products ( Adhesives)

3-1- Definition:-

 An adhesive or glue is a material, usually in a liquid or semi-

liquid state, that adheres or bonds items together. Adhesives come from
either natural or synthetic sources. The types of materials that can be bonded
are vast but they are especially useful for bonding thin materials. Adhesives
cure (harden) by either evaporating a solvent or by chemical reactions that
occur between two or more constituents.

 The basic definition of an adhesive as used by the Adhesive

Sealant Council in America is a material used for bonding that exhibits
flow at the time of application.

 There are many methods of classifying adhesives. Some use

a system of end use, e.g. adhesives for metals, adhesives for textiles etc.
However a system based on the chemical properties and performance is
more appropriate.
 Adhesives are advantageous for joining thin or dissimilar
materials, minimizing weight, and when a vibration dampening joint is
needed. A disadvantage of most adhesives is that most do not form an
instantaneous joint, unlike many other joining processes, because the
adhesive needs time to cure.

 For a material to perform as an adhesive it must have four

main requirements:
• It must "wet" the surfaces - that is it must flow out over the
surfaces that are being bonded, displacing all air and other
contaminates that are present.
• It must adhere to the surfaces - That is after flowing over
the whole surface area it must start to adhere and stay in position
and become "tacky".
• It must develop strength - The material must now change
its structure to become strong or non-tacky but still adherent.
• It must remain stable - The material must remain
unaffected by age, environmental conditions and other factors as
long as the bond is required.
