What Is An Adhesive?

• An adhesive, or glue, is a 
mixture in a liquid or semi-

History of Adhesives

Water-based adhesives (also known as PVAc, White Glue or Resin Glue) were invented in Germany during World War I. It is the key ingredient in Wood Glue and Elmer’s Glue

Hot Melt Adhesives (also known as EVA’s or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) were invented around 1900, and perfected after World War II during the development of automated packaging lines.
