Ol 'structural adhesives' em ol 'high-strength adhesives (compressive strength > 65 MPa, steel-to-steel tensile bond strength > 30 MPa, shear strength > 18 MPa), inap long sanap strong long ol hevi lod, na i no inap long kamap lapun, les, na bagarap. Ol i soim gutpela wok insait long laipspan bilong ol na ol i gutpela long pasim ol samting bilong straksa taim ol i kisim bikpela strong.
Ol 'non-'structural adhesives' i no gat strong na i no inap stap longpela taim, na ol i ken yusim tasol long ol nomol, temporari 'bonding', 'sealing', na 'fixing'; ol i no inap long yusim long pasim ol samting bilong straksa.
Ol 'structural adhesives' i gat bikpela strong, i no inap long bruk, i no inap bagarap, na i isi long putim. Ol i save yusim long pasim ol samting i wankain o i no wankain olsem ol ain, ol samting ol i wokim long graun, ol plastik, raba, na diwai. Ol i ken senisim liklik ol pasin bilong konektim ol samting olsem weldim, 'riveting', na 'bolting'. Stres distribusen long 'bonding surface' i wankain, na i no gat hat-afekted zon o defomesen bilong ol hap.
Ol i save yusim ol 'structural adhesives' long wok enjiniaring, moa yet long strongim, pasim, pasim, na stretim ol samting; olsem 'bonding steel', 'bonding carbon fiber', putim 'rebar', strongim na pasim ol 'crack', stretim ol hul, 'road spike bonding', 'surface protection', na 'concrete bonding'.
