Construction adhesive being used to attach an access panel to drywall. The construction adhesive is in a caulking gun at the top of the image. Construction adhesive is a general-purpose adhesive used for attaching drywall , tile , molding , and fixtures to walls, ceilings, and floors. [ 1 ]
Sealant is a substance used to block the passage of fluids through openings in materials, [1] a type of mechanical seal. In building construction sealant is sometimes synonymous with caulk (especially if acrylic latex or polyurethane based) [ 2 ] and also serve the purposes of blocking dust, sound and heat transmission.
Cyanoacrylate adhesives are sometimes known generically as instant glue, power glue, or super glue. The abbreviation "CA" is commonly used for industrial grade cyanoacrylate. The abbreviation "CA" is commonly used for industrial grade cyanoacrylate.
Epoxy adhesives can be developed to suit almost any application. They can be used as adhesives for wood, metal, glass, stone, and some plastics. They can be made flexible or rigid, transparent or opaque/colored, fast setting or slow setting. Epoxy adhesives are better in heat and chemical resistance than other common adhesives.
PTFE tape used for different sized fittings PTFE tape for natural gas. There are two US standards for determining the quality of any thread seal tape. MIL-T-27730A (an obsolete military specification still commonly used in industry in the US) requires a minimum thickness of 3.5 mils and a minimum PTFE purity of 99%. [3]
A small transformer potted in epoxy. The surface visible on the right is formed by the potting compound that has been poured into the plastic box. In electronics, potting is the process of filling a complete electronic assembly with a solid or gelatinous compound.
An electrically conductive adhesive is a glue that is primarily used for electronics. The electric conductivity is caused by a component that makes ca. 80% of the total mass of an electrically conductive adhesive. This conductive component is suspended in a sticky component that holds the electrically conductive adhesive together.
Thread-locking fluid or threadlocker is a single-component adhesive, applied to the threads of fasteners such as screws and bolts to prevent loosening, leakage, and corrosion. Most thread-locking formulas are methacrylate -based and rely on the electrochemical activity of a metal substrate to cause polymerization of the fluid.
