TYPES OF ADHESIVES
Thermosetting adhesives
Thermoplastic adhesives
THERMOSETTING RESINS
A material that hardens when heated and cannot be
remolded.
Silicon
resins
Phenol-formaldehyde
resins
This is a pressure sensitive type of adhesive. The
adherend surfaces after being coated with this adhesive
is subjected to curing by heat and pressure
Uses
THERMOPLASTIC RESINS
A material that softens when heated and hardens again
when cooled.
Cellulose derivatives
Starch
The raw materials used for various types of starch and dextrin
based adhesives are potato starch, corn starch etc. A suspension
of starch is heated for sometime to obtain the adhesive which is
cheap, can be applied in cold and hot states but bond strength is
low and susceptible to moisture.
