Results for tag: "Emulsion Pressure Sensitive Adhesives"

Emulsion Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs) are a type of adhesive used in the adhesives and sealants industry. They are a type of adhesive that forms a bond when pressure is applied, without the need for heat or solvents. PSAs are used in a variety of applications, including automotive, construction, and medical. They are also used in the production of labels, tapes, and other products. PSAs are typically composed of a polymer, a tackifier, and a plasticizer. The polymer provides the adhesive strength, while the tackifier and plasticizer provide flexibility and adhesion. The tackifier also helps the adhesive to adhere to a variety of surfaces. PSAs are available in a variety of forms, including hot-melt, solvent-based, and water-based. Hot-melt PSAs are the most common type, and are used in a variety of applications. Solvent-based PSAs are used in applications where heat is not an option, while water-based PSAs are used in applications where environmental concerns are a factor. Some companies in the Emulsion Pressure Sensitive Adhesives market include 3M, Henkel, Avery Dennison, Bostik, and Sika. Show Less Read more
