**Common Applications of Adhesives (Glue)**
Adhesives are versatile bonding agents used across various industries and everyday scenarios. Here are key use cases:
1. **Household Repairs**
– Fixing broken ceramics, glass, or wooden items (e.g., furniture, toys).
– Securing loose tiles, wallpaper, or flooring.
– Sealing leaks in pipes or temporary fixes for small cracks.
2. **Crafting & DIY Projects**
– Assembling paper/cardboard models, scrapbooks, or handmade decorations.
– Bonding fabrics, beads, or lightweight materials in art projects.
3. **Construction & Manufacturing**
– Installing insulation, drywall, or prefabricated components.
– Attaching automotive parts, electronics, or aerospace components with specialized adhesives (e.g., epoxy, cyanoacrylate).
4. **Medical & Healthcare**
– Closing minor wounds or surgical incisions using medical-grade adhesives.
– Securing bandages, dental appliances, or prosthetics.
5. **Office & Stationery**
– Binding documents, envelopes, or packaging materials.
– Repairing books, paper products, or school supplies.
6. **Electronics**
– Fixing circuit boards, cables, or plastic casings with non-conductive adhesives.
7. **Textile & Footwear**
– Attaching soles to shoes or repairing leather/fabric items.
**Key Considerations**: Choose the right adhesive type (e.g., water-based, solvent-based, hot-melt) based on material compatibility, strength requirements, and environmental conditions (temperature/moisture resistance).
