✦ Synopsis

Traditionally adhesives for the construction industry have been based on natural products. Over the past four decades many reactive adhesives on formaldehyde base have been developed for use with timber.type products and polymer dispersions produced during and since the I950s are widely used by the building trade today. Fully hydrated Portland cement has been developed and is being extensively used for reinforced concrete structural repairs, often in coordination with epoxy resin or polymer latex bonding.
