Contact Adhesives Market Definition
Contact adhesives are a type of adhesive that forms a bond when two coated surfaces are pressed together. They are applied to both surfaces, allowed to dry, and then joined to create a strong, immediate bond. These adhesives are known for their high initial tack and resistance to heat and moisture. Commonly used in industries such as construction and automotive, they are ideal for materials such as wood, metal, and laminates.
The main types of contact adhesives are solvent-based, water-based, solvent-free, reactive contact, and hot melt. Solvent-based contact adhesives refer to adhesives that use organic solvents to dissolve the bonding agent, allowing for quick, strong adhesion upon evaporation. These adhesives are formulated with various resin types such as neoprene, polyurethane, acrylic, and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), making them suitable for bonding a range of substrates such as wood-to-wood, metal-to-metal, plastic-to-plastic, fabric-to-fabric, and even multi-substrate combinations. It has various applications in construction and building, furniture and woodworking, automotive and transportation, footwear and leather goods, textiles and fabrics, electronics and appliances, packaging, DIY and craft, and other
