Adhesives.Adhesives. The report "Adhesives and sealants--technology, applications and markets," covers the global technology and markets for liquid, solid and film adhesives and sealants. It describes the chemistry and technology involved in producing and using each adhesive and sealant Sealant A thin plastic substance that is painted over teeth as an anti-cavity measure to seal out food particles and acids produced by bacteria. Mentioned in: Tooth Decay sealant see bone sealant. type, outlines the factors to be considered in selection and illustrates appropriate applications for each material. Adhesive types covered include acrylics, epoxies, urethanes, hot melts, UV systems, solvent-based systems, water-based systems and pressure sensitive adhesives Pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA, self adhesive, self stick adhesive) is adhesive that forms a bond when pressure is applied to marry the adhesive with the adherend. No solvent, water, or heat is needed to activate the adhesive. . Sealant technologies include RTV RTV Room Temperature Vulcanizing (elastomer sealant) RTV Radio Television (educational major) RTV ReplayTV (digital video recorder brand) RTV Real-Time Video RTV Return To Vendor silicones, polyurethanes, latex, polysulfide pol·y·sul·fide n. A sulfide compound containing at least two sulfur atoms per molecule. and vinyl plastisols. Additives involved in adhesive and sealant manufacture are also discussed. (Rapra Technology Ltd.)
