Adhesives is a substance that is enforced on one surface or both surfaces in which two separate items that bind them together and curbs their separation. The various advantages of using adhesives includes, allows joint substrates with different geometries, sizes and composition in which adhesives can joint glass, plastics, metals, ceramics & others, strong flexibility in the product design, special adhesives prepared to conduct electricity or electrical insulator are usually used in the field of electronics, and others. Contact adhesives have the advantage of high initial strength and are based on polymers that display the ability to bond to themselves as dry adhesive films. The surfaces to be bonded must be coated and the adhesive dried. The surfaces that are painted bond immediately on contact, so care needs to be taken in positioning the substrates.
