What spray glue is friendly to the environment and is also strong at the same time? Most adhesives or glue today contain harmful chemicals that destroy our environment and health.

I happened to be asking the same question the other day . . . not that I fully researched it, but I did find at least one alternative to 3M and the like. I expect there's more out there.

Maybe you could try these guys?

What you need is an adhesive that has Low VOC and HAP’s free. Westech Aerosols is a company that produces spray glues that are friendly to the environment. I’ve been using their products for years in my automotive business and I’m satisfied with the products’ strength in connecting materials together. I suggest you use hsc13. This adhesive does not contain chlorinated solvents which mean that it is not a hazard to the environment. It is very easy to use. Just spray it and it effectively bond materials such as plastic laminates, automotive headliners, glass, steel, aluminum, wood and many others.

Hide glue...
It is still used by high-end luthiers (luthiers are the people that make guitars etc), it is difficult to use but makes very strong bonds with wood..

I understand the importance of using environmentally friendly products in our daily lives to minimize our impact on the environment. In regards to adhesives, there are several options available that are both eco-friendly and strong.

One option is to use water-based adhesives, which are made from natural materials and do not contain harmful chemicals. These adhesives are biodegradable and do not emit harmful fumes, making them safe for both the environment and our health.

Another option is to use plant-based adhesives, which are made from renewable resources such as corn or soybeans. These adhesives are also biodegradable and do not contain harmful chemicals, making them a more sustainable choice.

When it comes to spray glue specifically, there are several eco-friendly options available. One example is a spray adhesive made from natural rubber, which is biodegradable and does not contain harmful chemicals. Additionally, there are aerosol-free spray adhesives that use a manual pump mechanism instead of propellants, making them more environmentally friendly.

Ultimately, the best way to ensure that the adhesive you are using is friendly to the environment is to look for products that are labeled as "green" or "eco-friendly." These products have been certified by independent organizations and meet certain environmental standards. It is also important to properly dispose of any adhesive products, following the instructions on the packaging.

In summary, there are several eco-friendly options available for adhesives, including water-based and plant-based options, as well as specific types of spray glue. I encourage individuals and businesses to make environmentally conscious choices when it comes to the products they use, including adhesives, to help protect our planet for future generations.
