The PSTC recently commissioned an in-depth research report that identifies the underlying biases, behaviors, and decision drivers influencing tape usage.
To better understand how industries such as building and construction, transportation, appliance, medical, and electronics perceive and use pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape for their bonding applications, the Pressure Sensitive Tape Council (PSTC) recently commissioned an in-depth research report that identifies the underlying biases, behaviors, and decision drivers influencing tape usage.
“What we found with this research is there are certain industries that have a clear understanding of the benefits of using PSA tape,” said Michel Merkx, president, PSTC. “In the appliance industry, for example, PSA tape is considered to be very effective in comparison to using liquid adhesives or mechanical fasteners, particularly when considering aesthetics and ease of application as well as tape’s ability to withstand heat, moisture and vibration.”
