-[PRESSURE-SENSITIVE] ADHESIVES-

[the term ‘adhesive’ may be used interchangeably with…]
‘glue‘
‘cement‘
‘mucilage‘
‘paste‘
,
*an ‘adhesive’ is a ‘substance’ applied to 1 ‘surface’ (or both surfaces), of 2 separate items that binds them together + resists their separation*
.
[adjectives may be used in conjunction with the word ‘adhesive’ to describe properties based on…]
*the substance’s physical/chemical form*
.
*the type of materials joined*
.
*conditions under which it is applied*
.
(the use of ‘adhesives’ offers many advantages over binding techniques such as sewing, mechanical fastening, thermal bonding, etc)
.
(these include the ability to…)
*bind different materials together*
to distribute stress more efficiently across the joint
the cost effectiveness of an easily mechanized process
an improvement in aesthetic design
and increased design flexibility)
.
(disadvantages of adhesive use include…)
*decreased stability at ‘high temperatures’*
relative weakness in bonding large objects with a small bonding surface area
greater difficulty in separating objects during testing)
.
(adhesives are typically organized by the method of adhesion)
(these are then organized into reactive and non-reactive adhesives, which refers to whether the adhesive chemically reacts in order to harden)
(alternatively they can be organized by whether the raw stock is of natural or synthetic origin, or by their starting physical phase)
(adhesives may be found naturally or produced synthetically)
.
(the earliest human use of adhesive-like substances was approximately 200,000 years ago)
(the first references to adhesives in literature first appeared in approximately 2000 BCE)
(the greeks and romans made great contributions to the development of adhesives)
(in europe, glue was not widely used until the period 1500–1700 CE)
(from then until the 1900s, increases in adhesive ‘use’ + ‘discovery’ were relatively ‘gradual’)
.
(only since the last century has the development of ‘synthetic adhesives’ accelerated rapidly)
.
(innovation in the field continues to ‘the present’)
.
a supply of superglue, carpenter’s glue, and white glue should cover most household needs

There is no single database for all adhesive and removal applications, but resources like Gluespec (https://www.gluespec.com/blog/instant-adhesives-guide) provide extensive databases for specific needs, like instant adhesives for design engineers.
For general purposes, you can use specialized sites like Permabond (https://permabond.com/materials_bonded/metal-bonding-adhesives/) for metal bonding, or consult guides from manufacturers like Loctite (https://www.loctiteproducts.com/ideas/fix-stuff/remove-adhesives.html) and The Home Depot (https://www.homedepot.com/c/ab/types-of-glue-and-adhesives/9ba683603be9fa5395fab901eed55df7) for a wide range of materials.
To find the right adhesive, consider factors like surface type (porous, non-porous, metal, wood) and application (bonding, sealing).
For removal, start with gentle methods before moving to chemical solvents like acetone or rubbing alcohol, depending on the adhesive and material
Resources for finding adhesives
Gluespec: Offers a large database for instant adhesives, including technical data, specifications, and best practices for design engineers, notes Gluespec.
Permabond: Provides guidance on adhesives specifically for metal, such as structural acrylics and epoxies, according to Permabond.
Rite Adhesives: Offers a basic guide on which glues to use for different materials like plastics and wood, including specialized epoxies and cyanoacrylates for plastics and PVA for wood, as described by Rite Adhesives (https://riteadhesives.com.au/glue-what-type-should-i-use/).
The Home Depot: Provides an overview of various adhesive types and their applications, including contact cement for non-porous surfaces, as seen on The Home Depot’s website. [1, 2, 5, 6]
Resources for removing adhesives
Loctite: Suggests starting with gentler methods and then using chemical solvents like lighter fluid, paint thinner, acetone, or rubbing alcohol for more difficult residue, according to Loctite. [3]
Key considerations
Material Compatibility: Ensure the adhesive is compatible with the specific surface material. For example, PVA is a common and effective wood glue, while specialized epoxies or cyanoacrylates may be better for plastics, says Rite Adhesives.
Application Type: Consider the intended use. Epoxy adhesives are good for strong, structural bonds on many materials, while pressure-sensitive adhesives are better for applications that bond on contact without heat, notes Chemique Inc (https://www.chemiqueadhesives.com/us/ultimate-guide-to-adhesive-classification/) and Kohesi Bond (https://www.kohesibond.com/what-are-the-different-types-of-adhesive-their-applications/).
Removal Method: Begin with the least aggressive removal method and progress as needed. Always check for compatibility and potential damage before using strong chemical solvents on a surface. [3, 4, 6, 7, 8]
