Pressure sensitive adhesive systems (PSA)
for solid rubber and sponge materials

Rubber base PSA characteristics
• Medium service temperature (+140°F)
• Poor UV resistance
• Good initial tack and adhesion
• Adheres to wide variety of substrates
• Poor resistance to plasticizers
and solvents
• Cost effective

Acrylic base PSA characteristics
• High service temperature (+200-250°F)
• Excellent UV resistance
• Poor to medium initial tack
• Excellent resistance to plasticizers
and solvents
• Good aging performance
• Medium cost

Silicone base PSA characteristics
• Ultra high service temperature (+300°F)
• Chemically stable in most harsh environments
• Resists moisture, biological attack, fungus & mildew
• Excellent UV resistance
• Excellent electrical properties
• Very high cost
