adhesive agent

Adhesive agents are generally added to increase the strength between the aggregate and the bituminous binder.

However, this could not establish that blood was the adhesive agent and the identification of menstrual pads remained conjectural.

Dry stone stacking means placing each stone in direct contact with another without the use of mortar or any other adhesive agent.

It is made up of a polyester scrim, a bonding or adhesive agent, and exterior PVC coatings.

If failure does occur at an interface containing a viscoelastic adhesive agent, and a crack does propagate, it happens by a gradual process called "fingering", rather than a rapid, brittle fracture.

The adhesive agent acts as a chemical bond between the polyester fibers and the exterior coating and also prevents wicking, or fibers absorbing water, which could result in freeze-thaw damage in the fabric.
