There are several types of adhesives, each designed for specific applications. Water-based adhesives are commonly used in paper and cardboard bonding, as they are easy to clean and non-toxic. Hot melt adhesives are thermoplastic materials that become liquid when heated, making them ideal for quick bonding in packaging and crafts. Epoxy adhesives are strong and durable, often used in construction and automotive repairs. Cyanoacrylate adhesives, also known as super glue, bond quickly and are suitable for small repairs. Pressure-sensitive adhesives are used in tape and labels, allowing for easy application and repositioning without the need for heat or water.
