Adhesives of this type, readily available at major home improvement retailers, bond to surfaces through the application of pressure. A typical example is found on the back of many tapes; the adhesive sticks firmly to surfaces when pressed against them.
This bonding method provides a convenient and efficient way to join materials, circumventing the need for heat, solvents, or extended curing times. The technology has evolved over decades, resulting in formulations that offer improved adhesion, temperature resistance, and durability across a variety of substrates. Its ease of use contributes to its widespread adoption in both residential and commercial applications.
