2. Polyvinyl acetate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_acetate

   PVAc dispersions such as Elmer's Glue-All contain polyvinyl alcohol as a protective colloid. In alkaline conditions, boron compounds such as boric acid or borax cause the polyvinyl alcohol to cross-link, forming tackifying precipitates or toys, such as Slime and Flubber. A number of microorganisms can degrade polyvinyl acetate.

3. Clag (glue) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clag_(glue)

   Clag was first trademarked in 1898 by Joseph Angus of Melbourne. [2] The exact composition of the original paste is unknown but is thought to have been starch-based, which is the current composition of the product.

4. Ethylene-vinyl acetate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene-vinyl_acetate

   Hot-melt adhesives (such as hot glue sticks) and top-of-the-line soccer cleats are usually made from EVA, generally with additives like wax and resin. EVA is also used as a clinginess-enhancing additive in plastic wraps. Craft-foam sheets are made of EVA and are popularly used for children's foam stickers. [clarification needed]

   A bottle of rubber cement, showing a brush built into its cap and a photo about to be cemented to graph paper. Rubber cement (cow gum in British English) is an adhesive made from elastic polymers (typically latex) mixed in a solvent such as acetone, hexane, heptane or toluene to keep it fluid enough to be used.

6. Pressure-sensitive adhesive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-sensitive_adhesive

   Adhesives may be broadly divided in two classes: structural and pressure-sensitive. To form a permanent bond, structural adhesives harden via processes such as evaporation of solvent (for example, white glue), reaction with UV radiation (as in dental adhesives), chemical reaction (such as two part epoxy), or cooling (as in hot melt).

7. Adhesive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesive

   The glue gun melts the solid adhesive, then allows the liquid to pass through its barrel onto the material, where it solidifies. Thermoplastic glue may have been invented around 1940 by Procter & Gamble as a solution to the problem that water-based adhesives, commonly used in packaging at that time, failed in humid climates, causing packages to ...
