Adhesives project

Aim:
To investigate different adhesives, find out how they chemically bond things together, find which one is best as well as find environmental issues concerned in production of adhesives and why sniffing glue is bad for you. I must also do a practical experiment and comment on the ethics of use.

My adhesives are:

• Pritt Stick : R7,99
• Wood Glue : R26,95
• Glue gun : R79,95 + Glue sticks pack (R10)
• Vinyl Bonding Adhesive : R13,65

How They Chemically Bond Things:
Pritt sticks work by placing a thin layer of a quick drying, sticky fibrous substance on to a surface. This will quickly dry causing the fibers to contract and bond to what is touching it (preferably paper). The bond is not very strong but appropriate for bonding thin surfaces where a strong bond isn't required like on paper or cardboard. Also, the glue spreads into tiny cracks and contracts with what is around it, causing a bond but all glues do this and well as manipulate Van......
