Can smone suggest some good usable flammable adhesive?

Question

it shud not be dangerous...i.e. not highly inflammable..

Answer 1

almost anything made of carbon burns. Therefore - elmers glue, tape, that rubber cement stuff, etc...

why is it important that its flammable?

------------------------------------------------
to the guy below me:

One supposes he means to let it set and actually adhere - and hence the water is gone.... LOL
----------------------------------------------
OK to Doctorscience:

I AM INFACT a chemist. and polyvinylalcohol IS Verifiably flammable. period.
And the water evaporates away as the glue sets.

As to CO2 not being flammable - duh. That's what you burn things inTO. It's the endpt of the reaction.

On the whole, on the average, mostly - things based on a carbon structure skeleton are flammable with a few exceptions limited to maybe 1% of all carbon skeletal type molecules.

why do people who don't know what they are talking about answer???

Answer 2

your all idiots, they asked for "flammable" just because it burns does not mean its flammable. maybe elmers glue will burn, but its not flammable, my plastic spatchula will burn, but its not flammable. There are several specific technical criteria and test methods for identifying flammable and combustible substances. Under the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) 1988, flammable substance have a flashpoint below 37.8°C (100°F). Combustible substances have a flashpoint at or above 37.8°C (100°F) and below 93.3°C (200°F).....so just because it burns, doesnt make it flammable, hence the idiotic statement of all carbon substances are flammable. my computer will catch fire and burn but it is neither combustible nor flammable. it goes to show you these self proclaimed chemists, or a those who have a degree in chemistry, must have copied somebodys paper at finals. im pretty sure elmers glue takes a bit more than 100F to catch fire, or on a hot day the world would catch fire, some glues contain flammable or combustible substances in their raw liquid form, but they are much harder to catch fire when dried, because most, not all, flammable liquids evaporate at a very, very low heat. matter of fact most all liquids start to evaporate at +1C. pvc in its raw form is flammable, but once its dried, its not flammable but it will burn....see i am actually college educated and did not get my degree on line...a carbon substance called bone, is neither flammable nor combustible, but it does burn. matter of fact everything will burn, you just have to get it hot enough, remember "the melting point of rock" 7800°F???? Bon Jovi???

Answer 3

Elmers glue is mostly polyvinylalchol and water, I doubt it would support combustion.

It is misconception that "anything with carbon in it will burn", carbon dioxide is commonly used to fight fires.

I suggest that if you are building something that you want to burn (like perhaps fireworks) that you investgate how such object are safely manufactured.

Answer 4

anything water based is not flammable
