Adhesion, bonding and sealing have become essential proficiencies for joining/sealing two or more substrates with each other. Moreover, several novel and innovative products could not be manufactured without employing adhesion techniques. On the other hand, the technique allows the filling of spaces between two or more substrates and is a crucial element in the building & construction industry.

Adhesive is a common umbrella term incorporating cement, glue, mucilage, and paste among other adhesives. The key function of an adhesive as a composite is to adhere to an object or bond two substances together. Sealants fall between the higher-strength adhesives and extremely low-strength putties and caulks. A sealant is a soft, pliable material that is mainly used to seal cracks of joints where structural strength is not required.

Asia-Pacific is a major contributor to the global adhesives and sealants market supported by increased construction spending, automobile sales and demand for adhesives from countries like India and China.
