How Production Conditions Influence UV-PSA Properties
UV-curable, pressure sensitive adhesive systems (UV-PSAs) have been available for several years. From inception, interest in the market has grown steadily but slowly. There appear to be various reasons for the reluctance to adopt this technology on a wider scale.
Certainly, the limited range of raw materials and generally higher prices compared to conventional PSA materials have restricted the growth. However, continuing interest from end users leads us to believe that there are opportunities for UV-curable PSAs.
