4.4 Overview of adhesives
Chemically curing adhesives:
Physical hardening adhesives:
Pressure sensitive adhesives and materials precoated with adhesive:
Polyaddition adhesives:
Adhesive which harden on cooling:
- Pressure activated adhesives Products coated with pressure sensitive adhesives such as adhesive tape, self-adhesive labels, etc.
 
Polycondensation adhesives:
Adhesives which harden on drying:
- Solvent-based adhesives, e. g. solvent-containing wet adhesives
 - Dispersion adhesives, e. g. latex
 - Colloidal systems, e. g. wallpaper paste
 - Contact adhesives
 
- Heat activated adhesives e. g. sealing films
 
Polymerisation adhesives:
Gel-forming adhesives:
- Moisture activated adhesives e. g. stamps
