Polymers and Additives for Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
Pressure sensitive adhesives, when in the dry state, are aggressively tacky at room temperature and possess a high degree of "quick stick" or initial grab. They can adhere to a variety of dissimilar materials without the need for much more than slight pressure. Often the pressure is applied by hand, but rollers, presses, and other mechanical devices can also be used.
There’s always a scope for tailored performance for a particular high-end application. But, how to select the right additive for your requirement?
Learn here, the additives and polymers that are used in pressure sensitive adhesives and how overall performance properties...

Selecting Flame Retardants for Adhesives and Sealants
Flame retardants inhibit or delay the spread of fire by suppressing the chemical reactions in the flame or by the formation of a protective layer on the surface of a material. This increases escape time and, thus protects humans, property, and the environment.
While selecting and using the right flame retardant system for a specific adhesive formulation, the formulator must put their efforts on delivering temperature resistance on the right fire stage for the application.
Learn about the stages of fire and the functioning of fire retardants in fire protection along with their classification. Also, explore the criteria involved in selecting the...
