Rubber Adhesives
Based on natural and synthetic rubbers set by solvent evaporation or heat curing.
They have relatively low shear strength and suffer from creep and are therefore used for
unstressed joints. They are useful for flexible bonds with plastics and rubbers. �Contact
adhesives� use rubber in a solvent and will join many materials. Elastomer adhesives
include natural rubbers, polychloroprenes (neoprene), acrylonitride butadiene (nitrile),
butyl rubber adhesives, styrene butadiene rubber adhesives, polyurethane adhesives,
polysulphide rubber adhesives and silicone rubber adhesives.
Rubber adhesives are not generally suitable for loaded structures or adverse environments (Polyurethane variants can be an exception)...
Note: Polyurethane has been included as a rubber like adhesive. It can equally be
considered as a thermosetting adhesive...
