What Is An Adhesive? • An adhesive or glue is a An adhesive, or glue, is a mixture in a liquid or semi‐ liquid state (as used) that adheres or bonds items adheres or bonds items together. • Adhesives may come from Adhesives may come from either natural or synthetic sources and nearly all are polymer based most are polymer based – most are highly specialized and formulated.

- 5. History of Adhesives History of Adhesives • The original adhesive was developed by the caveman, who made glue out by the caveman who made glue out of animal hides and proteins. • ( Water‐based adhesives (also known as PVAc, White Glue or Resin Glue) were invented in Germany during World War I. It is the key ingredient in Wood Glue and Elmer's Glue. • Hot Melt Adhesives (also known as EVA's or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) were invented around 1900, and perfected invented around 1900 and perfected after World War II during the development of automated packaging lines.

A non‐circulating system essentially comprises a parallel series of guns, each one y attached to the main tank by individual hoses. The adhesive is pumped to each gun though the hose, and the adhesive is applied by the nozzle of the gun. Circulating System used for continually applying and re‐applying adhesive, typically in a rotary based application system. based application system Copyright ©2014 Wisdom Adhesives Worldwide

Adhesive Applicating Adhesive Applicating Systems Cold‐Glue System ‐ hoses pump the fluid adhesive to applicator heads which apply the adhesive to the substrate in bead, spray, or droplet form (depending upon the requirement) by means of attachments or special i t) b f tt h t i l configurations on the applicator heads. Hot‐Melt System – Same as above but with an additional requirement: melting the adhesive. The g g most common configuration for melting devices is a tank melter, or essentially a large pot or tank in which cold adhesive can be added and melted into liquid form.
