Adhesives

At Silver Shadow International, we are more than just traders—we are global sourcing experts, connecting industries with premium additives that enhance the performance, durability, and versatility of adhesives and sealants. As a leading trading partner, we specialize in supplying high-quality raw materials, ensuring manufacturers have access to the best solutions for stronger bonds, improved flexibility, and superior processability across a wide range of adhesive systems.

What Are Adhesives?

Adhesives are specialized bonding materials that join surfaces together by forming strong, durable connections at a molecular level. Unlike mechanical fasteners or welding, adhesives create seamless, uniform bonds while maintaining material integrity. These substances are used across multiple industries, from packaging and construction to automotive, electronics, and medical applications.

Adhesives can be classified into several major categories based on their composition and curing mechanisms:

Water-Based Adhesives – Aqueous dispersions commonly used in paper, packaging, and textiles due to their eco-friendly, solvent-free properties.
Solvent-Based Adhesives – Offer high bonding strength and fast curing, ideal for industrial and automotive applications.
Hot-Melt Adhesives – Thermoplastic materials that liquefy when heated, delivering rapid adhesion for textiles, woodworking, and consumer goods.
Reactive Adhesives – Polymer-based systems such as polyurethanes, epoxides, acrylates, and silane-terminated compounds, used for high-performance sealing and bonding.
