Glue and Other Adhesives

Glue and standards about other adhesives are published primarily by ASTM, but many SDOs provide some kind of related standard. The topics compiled here cover many facets of creating glues, epoxy, resins, and adhesives for many different applications. Topics include animal glues, performance tests, chemical guidelines, and standard definitions.


ISO 9665:1998

Adhesives -- Animal glues -- Methods of sampling and testing

This International Standard specifies the methods to be used for sampling and testing bone and skin glues in the form of powder, granules, pearls or cubes.

The precision of the test methods included in this International Standard is not known because interlaboratory data are not available. When interlaboratory data are obtained, precision statements will be added to the corresponding test methods at the next revision.


BS EN 1243:2011

Adhesives. Determination of free formaldehyde in amino and amidoformaldehyde condensates (British Standard)

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the free formaldehyde content in amino and amido-formaldehyde condensate adhesives.


AWWA C210-2015

Liquid-Epoxy Coatings and Linings for Steel Water Pipe and Fittings

This standard sets minimum requirements for shop- and field-applied, liquid-epoxy interior linings and exterior coatings used in the water supply industry for steel water pipelines installed underground or underwater, under normal construction conditions. Major changes made to the standard in this edition include the following: Table 1 and Sec. 5.1.6 - minimum adhesion in accordance with ASTM D4541 has been increased; Table 2 and Sec. 5.2 - cathodic disbondment qualification testing has been added; and Sec. 4.4.2 - pipe preparation was revised.


ASTM C881/C881M-20

Standard Specification for Epoxy-Resin-Base Bonding Systems for Concrete

1.1 This specification covers two-component, epoxy-resin bonding systems for application to portland-cement concrete, which are able to cure under humid conditions and bond to damp surfaces.

1.2 This specification does not cover epoxy-resin-base bonding systems that have been modified by addition of components such as cement, fine aggregate, or fiber reinforcement. Additional testing may be required to meet applicable specifications for these applications.

1.3 This specification does not address the effects of creep on epoxy-resin-base bonding systems while under load or the potential for creep rupture. Additional testing is required for applications where creep and creep rupture are critical.

1.4 The text of this standard refers to notes and footnotes that provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of this standard.

1.5 Units—The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.

1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazards statements, see Section 9.

1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.


ASTM D1652-11(2019)

Standard Test Method for Epoxy Content of Epoxy Resins

1.1 This test method covers the procedure for manual and automatic titration of epoxy resins for the quantitative determination of the percent epoxide content from 0.1 to 26 % epoxide.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazard statements, see Section 6.

1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.


ASTM D6862-11

Standard Test Method for 90 Degree Peel Resistance of Adhesives

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the resistance-to-peel strength of an adhesive bond between one rigid adherend and one flexible adherend when tested at an angle of approximately 90 degrees under specified conditions of preparation and testing.

1.2 A variation in thickness of the adherends will generally influence test values. For this reason, the thickness of the adherends used to make the test specimens shall be specified in the material specification. When no thickness is specified, the flexible adherend shall be 0.60 mm (0.025 in.) thick and the rigid adherend shall be 1.60 mm (0.060 in.) thick.

Note 1—A heavy fabric, such as canvas, has been used as a flexible adherend.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.


ASTM D903-98(2017)

Standard Test Method for Peel or Stripping Strength of Adhesive Bonds

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the comparative peel or stripping characteristics of adhesive bonds when tested on standard-sized specimens and under defined conditions of pretreatment, temperature, and testing machine speed.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
