Description

Pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are widely used in a variety of industries, including packaging, automotive, construction, and medical devices, due to their unique properties of adhering to surfaces with minimal pressure. Formulating an effective PSA requires a careful balance of ingredients to achieve the desired bonding strength, tack, and adhesion to specific substrates. PSA in high performance applications has been increased due to advances in formulation technologies. PSA's are designed with a balance between flow and resistance to flow. PSA can be made from different materials, It can be water based, solvent based, 100%-solid based, like a hot melt, UV/EB-cured, silane cured, PU-based etc. At the end it needs to have the right physical and chemical properties to do the specific job. The end application can be an adhesive layer on a label or a tape and so on. There can be additional demands, like; should it be removable? Should it withstand high shear forces or has it to keep adhesion when subjected to creep? Is staining or migration of oil an issue? All these demands can be translated to the properties of the adhesive. Understanding of tools and measurement approach is also important along with the right choice of ingredients selection & Influence of plasticizers, tackifiers & polymers.
