3. According to the curing form, it can be divided into four types: solvent volatile type, emulsion type, reaction type and hot melt type.
4. Synthetic chemists often like to classify adhesives according to their chemical composition.
5. Divided according to main components: organic and inorganic
6. Classification by appearance: can be divided into liquid, paste and solid
