##### 6.9.1.4 Natural Rubber (NR) Adhesives

NR adhesives are also called water-based contact adhesives because they are made from NR emulsified in water. These products are applied on both substrates and are allowed to sit until the water evaporates. When it is dry to the touch, the parts are bonded by applying as much pressure as possible.
