Fuller Company is a major American adhesives manufacturing company supplying industrial adhesives worldwide.

Adhesive may be used interchangeably with glue, cement, mucilage, or paste, and is any substance applied to one surface, or both surfaces, of two separate items that binds them together and resists their separation.

Adjectives may be used in conjunction with the word "adhesive" to describe properties based on the substance's physical or chemical form, the type of materials joined, or conditions under which it is applied.

Sealant is a substance used to block the passage of fluids through the surface or joints or openings in materials, a type of mechanical seal.

In building construction sealant is sometimes synonymous with caulking and also serve the purposes of blocking dust, sound and heat transmission.

Sealants may be weak or strong, flexible or rigid, permanent or temporary.

Sealants are not adhesives but some have adhesive qualities and are called adhesive-sealants or structural sealants.

A chemical substance is a form of matter that has constant chemical composition and characteristic properties.

It cannot be separated into components by physical separation methods, i.e., without breaking chemical bonds.

Chemical substances can be chemical elements, chemical compounds, ions or alloys.

A coating is a covering that is applied to the surface of an object, usually referred to as the substrate.

The purpose of applying the coating may be decorative, functional, or both.

The coating itself may be an all-over coating, completely covering the substrate, or it may only cover parts of the substrate.

An example of all of these types of coating is a product label on many drinks bottles- one side has an all-over functional coating (the adhesive) and the other side has one or more decorative coatings in an appropriate pattern (the printing) to form the words and images.
