Adhesives are substances that allow two surfaces to stick together when applied. Common synonyms for this word are glue, adhesive agent, cement, sticky substance, bonding material, and fixative. Adhesive materials come in different forms, such as liquid, paste, cement, epoxy, or tape. They are used in various industrial and domestic applications, such as woodworking, plastic manufacturing, automotive and aerospace industries, and household repairs. Some adhesive products are specialized for certain materials, conditions, or purposes, such as cyanoacrylate for fast bonding, silicone for high-temperature applications, or pressure-sensitive tape for temporary adhesion. Choosing the right adhesive type and brand can greatly affect the success and durability of the bonding process.
