Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are used in applications ranging from labeling food packaging to assembling electronic devices to mounting graphics displays. Although they have been around for decades and their use is widespread, manufacturers, converters, and printers may not understand the key differences between the adhesive choices available, how they’re constructed, or which are best suited for a particular job.

Fire-Retardant Adhesives

This article examines the external events that have led to greater awareness of adhesives’ performance in the event of a fire, the standards and regulations that are being imposed, and the development of new fire-resistant materials.

Historically, fire resistance has not generally been a significant requirement when specifying adhesive systems. Recent incidents, however, indicate that this may soon change. These include events outside of the formulators’ arena, such as increased sensitivity to the performance of components in a fire, and events within the formulators’ arena, such as the development of flame-resistant additives.

This annual event provides current and future leaders in the adhesives and sealants industry with the opportunity to expand their knowledge and network with peers.

Organized by Women in Chemicals, this landmark conference will offer opportunities for networking, learning, and professional development. With a diverse array of sessions, workshops, and social events, participants can expect a dynamic program designed to empower and inspire.
