Pressure-sensitive adhesive - Wikipedia
Pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA, self-adhesive, self-stick adhesive) is a type of nonreactive adhesive which forms a bond when pressure is applied to bond the adhesive with a surface. No solvent, water, or heat is needed to activate the adhesive.
What Are Pressure Sensitive Adhesives? | Types & When to Use
2024年3月11日 · Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are ideal for applications requiring quick and easy bonds without heat, solvents, or water activation. They are particularly suited for use in labels and stickers, medical tapes, graphic films, and assembly of lightweight materials.
Pressure Sensitive Adhesive - an overview - ScienceDirect
A pressure-sensitive adhesive is a substance that adheres to a substrate when gentle pressure is applied and when withdrawn, leaves no trace. PSAs play a significant role, acting as the framework that holds all the active ingredients and the means to …
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs) - APPLIED Adhesives
2021年5月14日 · We offer an extensive selection of pressure-sensitive adhesives for industries of all kinds, including bookbinding, paper products, beverage and food manufacturers, pet food packaging, appliance, mattress manufacturers, and more.
Understanding Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive: Properties and …
2023年7月10日 · Pressure-sensitive adhesive refers to a type of adhesive that forms an instant bond when pressure is applied to its surface. It exhibits tackiness, which enables it to stick to a wide range of substrates with minimal applied pressure.
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs) | SpringerLink
2017年7月26日 · Pressure-sensitive adhesives are unique in that they form a strong bond with only finger pressure. They exhibit this immediate grab of a substrate (also called “tack ”) without the need for activation (e.g. heat, water, solvent, etc.).
What Are Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives and Tapes?
2020年6月24日 · The Pressure Sensitive Tape Council defines a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) as requiring two things: aggressive and permanent tack, and adhesion with finger pressure. This simple definition makes the concept of a PSA easy for anyone to understand.
FAQs about Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs)
2014年11月1日 · PSAs are adhesives that bond to a substrate surface with little or no energy. Unlike solvents and hot-melt adhesives, which use chemical or mechanical processes to achieve adhesion, only firm pressure is needed to create a cohesive bond between the PSA and substrate. This makes them ideal for labels, tapes and graphic signage.
Packaging pressure sensitive adhesives
Pressure sensitive adhesives are designed to form a bond and hold properly at room temperatures. These adhesives typically lose their tack at low temperatures and reduce their shear holding ability at high temperatures. Henkel is …
Better Bonding: Simplifying Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Selection
2021年5月10日 · The ideal pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) delivers exactly the right amount of bonding at the lowest cost. Choosing the right adhesive hasn’t always been easy, however. We have all heard stories about adhesives failing prematurely, as well as how costly those failures can be to product manufacturers.
