Question 1

1. What is impact adhesive?

Accepted Answer

Impact adhesive is a contact-based glue applied to both surfaces of a material and bonded after partial drying. It creates an instant, strong hold on contact.

Question 2

2. What’s the difference between impact adhesive and contact adhesive?

Accepted Answer

These terms are often used interchangeably, but 'impact adhesive' typically refers to a type of contact adhesive that forms a high-strength bond instantly when two coated surfaces are pressed together. In UK construction, 'impact adhesive' usually implies a solvent-based, fast-grab contact adhesive used for bonding rigid materials like laminates, metals, and rubber. All impact adhesives are contact adhesives, but not all contact adhesives are designed for impact bonding.
