Adhesives are broadly classified based on origin into which two categories?
Correct answer: C. Natural and Synthetic
- A. Reactive and Non-reactive
- B. Bold and Liquid
- C. Natural and Synthetic
- D. Drying and Curing
Explanation
Adhesives are classified based on their origin into two main categories: Natural and Synthetic. Natural adhesives are derived from organic materials such as plants and animals, while Synthetic adhesives are man-made, typically created from petrochemicals. The option 'Natural and Synthetic' correctly identifies these two categories. Other classifications like 'Reactive and Non-reactive' and 'Drying and Curing' are based on chemical properties and setting methods, respectively, not the origin. 'Bold and Liquid' is not a recognized classification in the context of adhesives.
