    Adhesives, Sealants & Tapes

    Adhesive or glue is any substance that can be applied to one or two surfaces or two items to bind or seal them together and resists their separation. Adhesive consists of different chemical compositions such as acrylic adhesive, epoxy adhesive, silicone adhesives and rubber and contact adhesives.

    Adhesives are used whenever two or more surfaces need to be affixed to one another and are used in the home, workplace for repair and manufacturing.

Adhesives can be in a solution or solid form such as Hot Melt glue which is dispensed using a Hot Melt applicator gun.

Foam sealant is injected into larger spaces using an applicator or gun with a nozzle, the foam then expands to fill the entire cavity.
