How do “reusable adhesives/stickers” work?
In: 3
The chemicals used don’t become less sticky unless they go through a chemical change. So, they’re just made of durable sticky materials. What usually happens that reduces their effectiveness, over time, is a combination of leaving a little bit of the material behind on what they were stuck to, and picking up dirt, dust, or a little bit of the material they were stuck to, resulting in there being less available adhesive to work for the next use.
Single-use adhesives are just either not as durable, go through some chemical change when used, or are so sticky that they can’t be easily separated from whatever they were stuck to.
So, in short, reusable adhesives are just less-effective adhesives.
