Cyanocrylates or super glue

Cyanocrylates or super glue are a family of strong fast-acting adhesives. These have short shelf life if not used, about 1 year from manufacture if unopened, one month once opened.
Thin super glue has application in woodworking. it can be used as a fast-drying, glossy finish.
WARNING: They have minor toxicity.

Cellulose adhesive

Cellulose adhesive is any adhesive such as wallpaper paste, which contains cellulose.
It is also used for fixing delicate pieces of art as well as in conversation of book from loosening and clean off old glue from spines and bookboards.

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.

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.
