What are adhesives?

Adhesives are used to bond different materials and surfaces . They are characterized by different levels of strength, durability and flexibility, depending on their composition and purpose.

Adhesives can be manufactured based on different chemical compounds and be suitable for different applications, such as assembly adhesives, construction adhesives and tile adhesives.

Types and subtypes of adhesives

The variety of adhesives on the market can be confusing for consumers, so it is important to know the main types and their advantages. Different adhesives are designed with specific characteristics to meet the needs of specific projects and materials.

Here are some of the main types and their specifics.

Tile adhesives

These are specially formulated products designed to firmly adhere ceramic, faience, and porcelain tiles . They are usually waterproof to withstand moisture and wetness, making them an excellent choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor flooring.

Assembly adhesives

This type of adhesive is widely used for bonding a variety of materials such as wood, metal, PVC, plastic, etc. Assembly adhesives provide a fast and strong bond, making them suitable for both interior and exterior applications. .

Construction adhesives

Construction adhesives are designed for heavy and durable structures and are widely used in professional construction projects. They are characterized by exceptional strength and resistance to external conditions such as moisture and extreme temperatures.

These adhesives are suitable for bonding concrete, brick, stone and other hard materials. In addition to strength, construction adhesives also offer elasticity, which helps the structure absorb loads and vibrations without the risk of cracking.

Drywall adhesives

Specifically designed for attaching drywall panels and boards, these adhesives provide fast bonding and stability while allowing the user to make adjustments during installation. Drywall adhesives often have properties that reduce vibration and prevent cracking.

Price ranges of adhesives

Prices for adhesives vary depending on the type, composition, and quantity. Also, more established brands on the market offer more expensive models because they have proven their qualities over time.

How to choose the right glue?

Choosing the right adhesive is key to the success of any project, as the right product can ensure the durability, strength, and stability of the bond between materials. To make an informed choice, it is important to familiarize yourself with several key factors.

Type of materials

The type of materials to be bonded is of primary importance when choosing an adhesive. For example, if you are working with tiles, it is imperative to use a tile adhesive, as it is designed to provide high moisture resistance.

Environmental conditions

If the project will be exposed to outdoor weather conditions, choose adhesives that are resistant to moisture, UV rays, and temperature changes . For example, silicone adhesives are excellent for sealing windows and doors, as they are waterproof and retain their elasticity even in extreme temperatures.

Drying time

If your project is on a tight deadline or requires a quick fix, choose a quick-drying adhesive. Assembly adhesives and some quick-drying products allow for quick bonding of materials, saving time and effort. They are suitable for small projects or emergency repairs where it is important to make the connection as quickly as possible.

Longevity and stability of the connection

For heavy constructions and projects that require maximum strength, such as fastening building materials and elements, it is recommended to use high-strength construction adhesives. They are formulated to withstand heavy loads and maintain their strength over time.

Following labels and instructions

Always check the adhesive labels and instructions to make sure it meets the requirements of your project. Manufacturers often provide specific application and drying time guidelines that should be followed for maximum effect.

Project objective

Determine what you want to achieve with your project. If you're looking for an easy, temporary way to bond lightweight materials, you might want to consider general-purpose adhesives. But for professional projects or those that require durability and stability, it's important to choose an adhesive that's specifically designed for the conditions and material.

By considering these factors and selecting an adhesive that meets the specific needs of the project, you will ensure the durability and resilience of the bond.
