An adhesive that hardens simply by the evaporation of the solvent it is suspended in is known as:
Correct answer: C. Drying adhesive
- A. Reactive adhesive
- B. Pressure-sensitive adhesive
- C. Drying adhesive
- D. Hot-melt adhesive
Explanation
The correct answer is Drying adhesive. These adhesives harden through the evaporation of the solvent in which they are suspended. This is different from other adhesives like reactive adhesives, which harden through a chemical reaction, pressure-sensitive adhesives, which adhere with pressure, and hot-melt adhesives, which solidify upon cooling.
