Styrene-acrylate emulsion (styrene-acrylate emulsion) is made from styrene and acrylate monomer by emulsion copolymerization.Styrene-acrylic emulsion is one of the most studied systems in emulsion polymerization and one of the top ten non-crosslinked emulsions with important industrial application ... read more
Manufacture Pressure-sensitive adhesives are manufactured with either a liquid carrier or in 100% solid form. Articles such as tapes and labels are made from liquid PSAs by coating the adhesive on a support and evaporating the organic solvent or water carrier, usually in a hot air dryer. The dry ad... read more
Effects of shape The adhesive bonding of a tape or label can be affected by its shape. Tapes with pointed corners start to detach at those corners; adhesive strength can be improved by rounding the corners. Removal Removable adhesives are designed to form a temporary bond, and ideally can be remo... read more
Structural and pressure-sensitive adhesives Adhesives may be broadly divided in two classes: structural and pressure-sensitive. To form a permanent bond, structural adhesives harden via processes such as evaporation of solvent (for example, white glue), reaction with UV radiation (as in dental adh... read more
Pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA, self-adhesive, self-stick adhesive) is a type of non reactive 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. It is used in pressure sensitive tapes, lables,glu... read more
