Liquid Adhesives

Types of Glue Adhesive

There are multiple types of glue adhesive including non-flammable solvent based adhesives, flammable solvent based adhesives, and general water-based adhesives with no solvents. Ultimately, you need to make sure you choose the right type of adhesive for your needs.

On top of those basics, there are aerosol spray adhesives as well as spreadable glue adhesives. For most operations, you may need a range of different types of adhesives for all of the different projects you handle, and you may want to consider buying your adhesive glue in bulk.

Advantages of Buying Adhesive Glue in Bulk

The main benefit of purchasing adhesive glue in bulk is that you save money. Although you spend more upfront on a large purchase of glue, you save money on a per gallon basis. To see how much you are saving, divide the price of the adhesive glue by the number of gallons. That is the price per gallon, and you can use this number to compare different size containers.

Additionally, when you order in bulk, you don't have to worry about reordering for some time. You can hit order once and stock up your supplies indefinitely. Similarly, when you order glue adhesive in bulk, you can rest assured that you will have all the glue you need for upcoming projects.

Not Ready to Buy Adhesive Glue in Bulk?

You may be hesitant to buy adhesive glue in bulk if you haven't tried the product. If you haven't worked with a certain adhesive before and you're not sure whether or not you will like it, you may want to order a quart which is a sample size of glue. Similarly, if you aren't sure that you need that much glue, a bulk order may be too large for your needs. Luckily, in these cases, you can opt for a five gallon pail, a four pack of gallon-sized containers, a gallon, or a quart of glue.

Tips for Buying Glue Adhesives

As you decide which type and size of glue adhesives you need, you may want to work through a few essential questions. Do you have a place to store your adhesives? If you are buying glue adhesives with flammable solvents, do you have a safe work space to use that kind of solvent? That may include proper ventilation, spark-proof electrical systems, and similar safeguards. Do you have the accessories you need for applying the glue? That may include paint brushes, spray guns, sponge applicators, or other tools.
