Introduction • “An adhesive is a medium that allows the surfaces of two
or more components to be attached or bonded together”.• They are hugely used across the construction industries.• Mechanical fixings can weaken or affect material structure.• Adhesive is a substance used for sticking two unlike bodies
together, due to molecular forces existing in the area of contact.
• The development of adhesives has continued over the centuries to meet the requirements of various civilization, but it was not until the industrial revolution that demands were made for major advances in adhesive technology.
What is adhesive made out of? When a liquid is added to an adhesive, it
becomes glue. Glue is an adhesive substance that binds two porous surfaces together.
Adhesives made of 3 bases for following categories:-
Wooden - water base Paper - water base Textile - water base Construction - solvent base Plastic , glass - cyno base :- as we go down in above category the
price, flammability is also increase with their strength:-

Natural adhesives Natural adhesives are made from
inorganic mineral sources, or biological sources.
A simple paste of natural adhesive can be made by mixing flour and water.
Application : Applicators of different adhesives are designed according to the adhesive being used and the size of the area to which the adhesive will be applied.

CASEIN
This product is made by dissolving casein, a protein obtained from milk. In wood bonding, casein glues generally are superior .
Health issues: casein allergy: A small fraction of the population is allergic
to casein The china study on cancer: 10% of the protein in their diet
from casein were at risk of cancer Uses:
Lables of glass bottels : Casein glue is mainly used to adhere glass bottle labels.
Paint : Casein paint is a fast-drying. Glue Cheesemaking:Cheese consists of proteins and fat from
milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo,goats,
Casein glue preperation
ANIMAL An animal is an adhesive that is
created by prolonged boiling of animal connective tissue.
Animal glue was the most common woodworking glue for thousands of years.
Types : Hide glue: Hide glue is used in
woodworking. It may be supplied as granules, flakes, or flat sheets,▪ Warmer temperatures quickly destroy the
strength of hide glue. Hoof glue: Hoof glue is also used today in
woodworking, specifically cabinetry. Rabbit skin glue: Rabbit-skin glue is more
flexible when dry than typical hide glues▪ It also is used in bookbinding.

Animal glue in granules
Bitminous adhesive Bitumen, bituminis is a very ancient product. The Egyptians, the Greek and the Romans
were already acquainted with it. The Romans called it earthpitch. Its natural
source was Ragusa on Sicily, where it was found in rock-formations, which contained about 14% of bituminis.
Used in paints and maker inks by some graffiti supply companies to increase the weather resistance and to make the color much darker.
Thermoplastic adhesive Thermoplastic adhesives – These
types of adhesives may be in the form of a solid which softens when heated and when cooled will regain their original form and strength.
POLYVINYL ACETATE (PVA) As an emulsion in water, PVA is sold as an adhesive for
porous materials, particularly wood, paper, and cloth. It is the most commonly used wood glue, both as "white glue" and the yellow "carpenter's glue." Uses
A wood glue PVA is known as 'white glue' and the yellow as carpenter's glue or PVA glue.
Paper adhesive. In handicrafts.
An envelope adhesives.
As wallpaper adhesives.
Thermoplastic adhesive
Polyvinyl acetate (PVA)
Thermosetting (Solvent base)Thermosetting adhesives – These types of
adhesives are resins which become solid through a chemical reaction or by applying heat. Once set they can not be reformed.
Phenol formaldehyde This is pressure sensitive type of adhesive. The
aderend surfaces after being coated with this adhesive is subjected to curing by heat and pressure.
This is available as solid, liquid or impregnated film and used for bonding wood and metal.
Uses : Phenolic resins are also used for making exterior
plywood commonly known as WBP (Weather & boil proof) Plywood because Phenolic resins have no melting point
The Dutch forger Han van Meegeren mixed phenol formaldehyde with his oil paints before baking the finished canvas in order to fake the drying out of the paint over the centuries.

Urea formaldehyde
• The urea–formaldehydes (UFs) are the most important and most used class of amino resin adhesives.
• Powder, not boil proof.• Shelf life ~1 year. Pot-life: ~3-10 hours.• Moisture resistant, not susceptible to attack by micro-
organisms.• Example: cascamite, laminating etc.• Advantages :• (1) initial water solubility (this renders them eminently suitable for
bulk and relatively inexpensive production), • (2) hardness, • (3) nonflammability, • (4) good thermal properties, • (5) absence of color in cured polymers.
• Disadvantages :• The greatest disadvantage of the amino resins is their bond
deterioration caused by water and moisture.• Uses : • Plywood adhesive: • Particle board adhesive:
MELAMINE ADHESIVE
A fast setting adhesive specially formulated for room temperature bonding of porous substrate to difficult-to-bond synthetic materials such as melamine surfaces and highly impregnated papers.
Uses : the most used adhesives for exterior
and semiexterior wood panels and for the preparation and bonding of both low- and high-pressure paper laminates and overlays.
Resorcinol-phenol formaldehyde.• Resorcinol-phenol formaldehyde.• Resin + hardener (catalyst).• i.e. Aerodux 185 + hardener.• Used in Exterior timber structures, marine,
plywood.• Used externally, it is an antiseptic and
disinfectant • Used in the production of plasticizers. • Liquid mix with hardener• Shelf life - indefinite, pot life - 1hr @ 30oC
EPOXY RESIN(Solvent base)
Epoxy adhesives are a major part of the class of adhesives called "structural adhesives" or "engineering adhesives".
These high-performance adhesives are used in the construction of aircraft, automobiles, bicycles, boats, golf clubs, skis, snow boards, and other applications where high strength bonds are required.
Rubber adhesives
Natural rubber is often vulcanized, a process by which the rubber is heated and sulfur, peroxide or bisphenol are added to improve resilience and elasticity, and to prevent it from perishing.
Tapes are made from mixing rubbery material with adhesives.
British Standards Institute (BSI)
• BSI Group, also known in its home market as the British Standards Institution (or BSI), is a multinational business services provider whose principal activity is the production of standards and the supply of standards-related services.
Test products to confirm the manufacturers claims.
i.e. BS 1204:1979 (adhesives for constructional work in wood).
