Over a long career, I have worked with several adhesive and sealant technologies and have tried many of them at home.

In the plumbing industry, solvent-based PVC cements are used for bonding PVC plastics. However, if you need a solvent-free system, cyanoacrylates and reactive acrylics have been widely used on rigid PVC.

Structural adhesives are displacing mechanical fasteners, welding and even tape in some fastening applications.

The Pressure Sensitive Tape Council’s annual Tape Summit is the ideal event to provide learning and knowledge-building opportunities to attendees.

I suspect that the concentration of your products in the water is very low, but the answer is almost certainly no!

In ancient times, precious goods were kept in clay jars to protect them from the ravages of humidity and rot.

We have some pinhole leaks in an old fire sprinkler system in a large apartment block. Is there an adhesive that will seal those leaks?
