Adhesives are usually chemical compounds used to bind two materials together. Sealants are substances used to keep out other substances.
Examples:
Glue is an adhesive
You put sealant on wood to keep it from absorbing water
To apply sealants and adhesives during assembly, first ensure that surfaces are clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Use a caulking gun or applicator to dispense the sealant or adhesive evenly along the joint or surface, maintaining consistent pressure to avoid air bubbles. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for curing times and conditions, and ensure proper alignment of components before the adhesive sets. Finally, clean any excess material promptly to achieve a neat finish.
Adhesives are extremely important in modern life.
Super glue type adhesives are 'cyanoacrylates' .
Google "pressure sensitive adhesives". Or go to the library and find a book on adhesives.
There are many different adhesives used for engineered hardwood. Urea-formaldehyde resins, phenol-formaldehyde resins, melamine-formaldehyde resin, and polyurethane resins are also adhesives used for engineered hardwood.
Fibrin sealants are, however, being replaced for some specialized purposes by newer wound adhesives known as cyanoacrylates.
