Cassava

Cassava is a starch glue made from tapioca, the starch flour obtained from the tuberous root of the tropical cassava plants (Manihot esculenta, Manihot dulce).

Casein glue

Casein glue a glue made from casein (a phosphorous protein found in the milk of mammals; used in glues and paints.), more water resistant than fish or animal glue. It has a drying time that allows enough time for piece to be positioned accurately.

Bituminous adhesive

Bituminous adhesive is any adhesive based on bitumen or coal tar used for bonding sheet materials such as roofing felt and linoleum.
Hot melted Bituminous adhesive permanently bonds makers and delineators to pavement.

Water based adhesive

Water borne adhesive or aqueous adhesive or water-based adhesive is any adhesive whose binder
is dissolved or dispersed in water.
Water based adhesive have less or no VOC ( volatile organic compound).
water based adhesive are best for use with at-least one porous substrate such as paper , cardboard or wood because of their absorption or evaporation requirement.

Animal glue

Animal glue is a glue made from collagen, a protein released by boiling the bones, hides and muscles of animals.
It is also called bone glue or hide glue.
Animal glue was most common woodworking glue for thousands of years until the advent of syntetic glues such as polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and other resin glues in the 20th century.
Glass artists use hide glue to bond glass. As the glue hardens it shrinks , chipping the glass.

Anaerobic adhesive

Anaerobic adhesive is an adhesive which sets by polymerization in the absence of oxygen.
They work by completely filling gap between metal components. Using an anaerobic adhesive prevents loosening by vibrations and also protects joint from corrosion or rust that can be caused by moisture.

Albumen glue

This type of glue are made of serum albumen, a blood component that is obtainable from either dried soluble blood powder (to which water is added) or fresh animal blood.
Addition of alkali to albumen-water mixture improves adhesive property.
A considerable quantity of glue products from blood is used by plywood industry.

Spray adhesive, aerosol glue

Spray adhesive, aerosol glue is an adhesive stored in a pressurized can and applied by spraying.

ADHESIVES

ADHESIVE is a sticky solid or liquid bonding substance used for the firm sticking, surface joining and holding together of materials and components;
The words adhesive and glue are generally synonymous, although adhesive is often applied to more technologically advanced products, while glues are often of plant or animal origin.
A cement is an inorganic adhesive which sets in hard, brittle form.
