Understanding and Selecting PSA Tapes
Presented by the Pressure Sensitive Tape Council
Monday, April 8th, 9:00am – 5:00pm
Cost: $295
We will define the basic properties of pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) and discuss how polymer and material properties combine to give the unique performance attributes of tapes. We will go on to explain how these properties affect what happens during bonding – how bonds form, and what can prevent them from forming properly, as well as how these properties affect the converting and processing of tapes during manufacture.
We will also discuss the different materials used to make tapes (adhesives, backings etc.) and how those choices affect the end performance of the tape, and therefore what applications it can be used in. We will also include a discussion of common test methods used to qualify tapes – what they are performed, what they mean and how to relate the data to real applications.
