Brands and label converters must consider several factors when choosing a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) for their product application—from cost and sustainability to performance to design.
Traditional polyurethane reactive hot-melt (RHM) adhesives make use of blends of polyester, polyether and, in rare cases, conventional petroleum-based polycarbonate polyols.
Initial reports on the use of ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) technology for pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) began to appear in the late 1960s.
