Footwear Glues Manufacture

Abstract

Glues are substances used for joining surfaces by means of elastic film which firmly clings to the glued surfaces and is not broken off under the impact of shear stress. Glueing has long been an important way of joining wood, leather, ceramics, textiles, paper and rubber. The theory of glueing process is highly complex, because a number of factors are involved relating to the nature of the glued surfaces and the characteristics of the glue solution and adhesive film.
