adhesive

Adhaesum is a Latin term that comes from adhaerĕo. We can say that this Latin term can be translated as “capable of sticking” and is the result of the sum of three clearly delimited components:
-The prefix “ad-”, which means “towards”.
-The verb “haerere”, which is equivalent to “paste”.
-The suffix "-ivo", which is used to indicate a passive or active relationship.

To our language arrived like adhesive, an adjective that qualifies what has the ability to fixate on something. For example: "I'm going to tape the cables down so they don't move", "My mom gave me a notepad with sticky paper", "Rummaging the trunk, the young man found a book mended with adhesive cloth".

The concept It is also used as a noun to name the material which, when placed between two elements, adheres them to each other, sticking them: "We use an industrial adhesive to glue the soles of our ankle boots", "I need an adhesive to fix the sign on the door", "I glued the decorative stones with a transparent adhesive".

Adhesives, therefore, achieve that two bodies are joined through superficial contact. Adhesion can be due to a variety of causes, from mechanical reasons to magnetic issues.

It is possible to find stickers in different presentations. The liquid adhesives they fulfill their function when they dry and the bond they establish becomes stronger. An example of liquid adhesive is the traditional white tail.

However, within the group of liquid adhesives we find many others such as, for example, natural rubber, silicone, acrylic type ...

Between the solid adhesives, the most popular are the bars that allow you to stick paper or cardboard, moving them on the surface that is intended to unite. There are also solid adhesives powdered.

Regarding your source, the stickers can come from sources animals (such as tail made from bones or skin) or vegetables (There are stickers made with corn and potato or potato). They can also develop so synthetic (from oil, to name one possibility).

In addition to classifying them by their origin or by their presence, we cannot ignore that this work can be undertaken based on another series of criteria. Thus, for example, it is possible to take into consideration what its curing is, which would lead us to find four large groups of adhesives:
-Those that are sensitive to pressure.
-Those that are adhesives by evaporation or diffusion.
-The chemically reactive.
-Heat fusion, such as elastomers.

If, on the other hand, we classify them according to the use that is going to be given to them, we come across three large groups:
-The adhesives for children or domestic use.
-The industrialists. Within this category we can find from those used for labeling bottles to those used to make book bindings through those used to make furniture of various kinds.
-The professional adhesives, which are those used by different workers to carry out the gluing of parts or elements with which they carry out their tasks.
