Resulting Properties
Silicone pressure sensitive adhesives are generally selected for the most demanding industrial applications because of their inherent resistance to temperature extremes, moisture, chemicals, and biological attack. Silicone adhesives also offer excellent dielectric properties so that they are often used as pressure sensitive tapes for the electrical / electronics industry.
