2. Rubber cement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_cement

   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. This makes it part of the class of drying adhesives: as the solvents quickly evaporate, the rubber solidifies, forming a strong yet flexible bond.

3. Pressure-sensitive adhesive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-sensitive_adhesive

   Styrene block copolymers (SBC), also called styrene copolymer adhesives and rubber-based adhesives, have good low-temperature flexibility, high elongation, and high heat resistance. They are frequently used in hot melt adhesive applications, where the composition retains tack even when solidified; however non-pressure-sensitive formulations are ...

4. Tempered glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempered_glass

   Tempered or toughened glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering puts the outer surfaces into compression and the interior into tension .

5. Glass floor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_floor

   Glass as a flooring material is used in both residential and commercial structures. Special hollow glass blocks known as '"glass pavers " are often used in combination with a metal frame . Glass floors are often lit from below with natural or artificial light, or may be treated as ordinary floor surfaces illuminated from above.

6. Adhesive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesive

   There are two types of adhesives that harden by drying: solvent-based adhesives and polymer dispersion adhesives, also known as emulsion adhesives. Solvent-based adhesives are a mixture of ingredients (typically polymers) dissolved in a solvent. White glue, contact adhesives and rubber cements are members of the drying adhesive family. As the ...

7. Adhesive bonding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesive_bonding

   The adhesives used are special pressure-sensitive adhesives based on acrylates or synthetic rubber. In surgery, adhesives are used in the treatment of certain surgical wounds. These adhesives are usually based on fibrin, the natural adhesive substance that causes blood to clot when bleeding. Since fibrin occurs naturally in the body, it has the ...
