Different Types of Adhesives

Different Types of Adhesives

An adhesive is a compound that adheres or bonds two items together. There are many sources and types of adhesive which are commonly divided into the following categories:

Drying Adhesives

Glues and rubber cements are members of this family. As the solvent evaporates, the adhesive hardens. These adhesives are typically weak and are used for household applications.

Hot Adhesives

Popular for crafts, these adhesives are used in a wide range of applications adhering common materials. They are applied hot and simply allowed to harden as they cool.

Reactive Adhesives

Reactive adhesives generally come in two separate containers and are mixed immediately before application causing polymerization which solidifies the adhesive.

Temporary Adhesives

Temporary adhesives, commonly used on paper as in bookmarks and office supplies, have a low adhesion and are designed to repeatedly or easily stick and unstick.

HERNON Manufacturing and ShenZhen Dover Technology Co., Ltd. Sign Joint Venture Agreement

Hernon Dover to provide repackaging and distribution for Hernon’s product lines in China.

March 14, 2011 – Sanford, Florida, United States – HERNON Manufacturing, the innovator in adhesive and sealing technologies has confirmed that it has signed a joint venture agreement with the China based ShenZhen Dover Technology Co., Ltd. Under the terms of the agreement, Hernon Dover will provide direct order fulfillment, product support, and repackaging for Hernon’s existing network of Chinese distributors and direct customers.

The joint venture has agreed to repackage the Hernon products under the label Hernon Dover.

Initially, the joint venture will seek to expand the use of Hernon’s high performance adhesives and sealants in the electronic and speaker manufacturing sectors. However, both companies anticipate an expansion into multiple sectors and industries as Hernon Dover will have access to the complete Hernon product line with over 300 products available for sale.

“We are honored to form this critical alliance and form Hernon Dover as it will allow Hernon to better serve our customers and distributors locally in China,” explains Harry Arnon, CEO of Hernon Manufacturing. “Given the importance of China to our overall growth strategy, it was essential that we partner with a local distribution leader who could aptly support the growing demand for our products. We found such a partner in Paul Ye and his company.”

Both parties cite numerous advantages for the new Hernon Dover label including lower costs for customers since the product can be packaged and sold locally; faster and more responsive customer service since order fulfillment and support will be handled locally in ShenZhen, China; and access to new market sectors that source their chemical needs from China while expanding the offerings that ShenZen Dover has to offer its customer base.

“With the explosive growth of manufacturing opportunities in China, the need for industrial grade adhesives and sealants has grown at a rate which far exceeds the currently available supply in China,” explains Paul Ye, President of Hernon Dover. “Hernon Manufacturing has established itself as a leader in the adhesives and sealants sector and we are excited with the opportunity to engage in this joint venture. This partnership will benefit not only our respective companies, but each of our mutual clients.”
