Applications
Fastening Technologies
• Mechanical Fasteners• Liquid/Solid Adhesives• Solder• Welding• Pressure Sensitive
Adhesives
Types of Fasteners Choice Drivers• Ease of Use
(Assembly/Disassembly• Strength• Cost• Historical Performance• Longevity
PSA’s are the only fastening technology that form flexible bonds
Attributes
• Rigid bonds• Requires cure/solidification
time• Discontinuous bond line• Less sensitive to
temperature changes• More chemical resistant• Requires application
equipment• Expensive• Have historical performance
record
Mechanical, Liquid/Solid, Welds and Solder Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
• Flexible (Viscoelastic)• Functional at application• Continuous bond line• Narrower temperature
window• Reasonable chemical
resistance• Easy to apply• Less expensive• Have historical performance
record
What Properties Are Required of Pressure Sensitive Tapes?
adhesion, strength, abrasion, heat, light, solvent and environmental resistance, permanence, removability, appearance, chemical and biological compatibility,
weight, ease of use, cost, dimensions, conformability, dispensability, disposability,
reflectivity, informational needs, repositionable,
electrical properties, reflectivity etc.
Novel PSA ApplicationsBody Side Molding Application• Easy to apply• Functions over wide temperature
and humidity range• Resistant to weather• Absorbs door slams (hot and cold)
What other applications can PSA’s replace incumbent technology?
Adhesive Wall Hooks
• Easy to apply
• Adheres to many wall surfaces
• Clean removal
• Reusable
Novel PSA ApplicationsBlast Mitigation Membrane
•Easy to apply•Light Weight•Functions over wide temperature and humidity range•Dissipates shock wave energy•Reinforces wall and prevents debris from entering room
