3. Self-amalgamating tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-amalgamating_tape

   However, these same properties, combined with the lack of traditional gum adhesive, make tape removal, if needed, quick, clean, and easy. Another form of self-amalgamating tape is made from ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) and has similar uses as silicone self-amalgamating tape but is non-vulcanising and has good moisture resistance. It is ...

4. Hot-melt adhesive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot-melt_adhesive

   Higher molecular weight of the polymer chains provides higher tensile strength and heat resistance. Presence of unsaturated bonds makes the adhesive more susceptible to autoxidation and UV degradation and necessitates use of antioxidants and stabilizers. The adhesives are usually clear or translucent, colorless, straw-colored, tan, or amber.

5. Pressure-sensitive adhesive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-sensitive_adhesive

   Adhesives may be broadly divided in two classes: structural and pressure-sensitive. To form a permanent bond, structural adhesives harden via processes such as evaporation of solvent (for example, white glue), reaction with UV radiation (as in dental adhesives), chemical reaction (such as two part epoxy), or cooling (as in hot melt).

6. Silicone rubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_rubber

   Silicone rubbers are often one- or two-part polymers, and may contain fillers to improve properties or reduce cost. Silicone rubber is generally non-reactive, stable, and resistant to extreme environments and temperatures from −55 to 300 °C (−70 to 570 °F) while still maintaining its useful properties.
