The inventor of foam adhesive isn't definitively credited to one person. While Eduard Simon made significant contributions to adhesives in the 1800s, foam adhesives as we know them today likely evolved through advancements by various researchers and companies.

Here's a breakdown of your information on foam adhesive uses with some minor improvements:

Main Uses of Foam Adhesive:

1. Construction: Sealing and bonding doors, windows, and walls during installation.

2. Signage and Displays: Creating models, crafting sand table displays, and repairing existing signage.

3. Soundproofing: Filling gaps in recording studios, broadcasting rooms, and similar spaces to achieve sound insulation.

4. Landscaping and Design: Used in flower arrangements, gardening projects, and creating lightweight decorative features.

5. Household Repairs: Fixing small gaps, cracks, and holes in walls, floor tiles, and floorboards.

6. Sealing and Waterproofing: Repairing leaks in pipes, sewers, and other areas to prevent water infiltration.

Foam Adhesive Types:

There are two main types of foam adhesives:

1. Gun-applied: These are typically used in professional settings for larger applications due to their continuous flow and ease of application with a caulking gun.

2. Disposable Canister (Tube-type): These are ideal for household and small-scale DIY projects. They're convenient and user-friendly but dispense a limited amount of adhesive.
