Cotronics recently announced that its Ultra-Temp 390PS pressure-sensitive ceramic tape wraps around pipes and equipment for thermal and electrical insulation to 2,300˚F.
At the beginning of the year, and even as recently as March, the extent of our shared health crisis could not have possibly been imagined. Very quickly, however, following updates from national and international health organizations and the federal government, everyone, including all of us at the Pressure Sensitive Tape Council (PSTC), began to make strategic decisions regarding how to not only navigate the perilous situation, but how to move forward.
Designs for consumer electronics continue to evolve, and pressure-sensitive tape manufacturers are addressing those changing needs with products that go beyond simple bonding.
As the marketplace for consumer electronics devices becomes more sophisticated, the adhesive products that hold them together have to be just as versatile and multifunctional. Consumers have demanded their devices get sleeker, more powerful, and lighter, putting demands on manufacturers.
The Pressure Sensitive Tape Council defines a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) as requiring two things: aggressive and permanent tack, and adhesion with finger pressure. This simple definition makes the concept of a PSA easy for anyone to understand.
School closings and stay-at-home orders due to COVID-19 have forced many parents around the world to become true activities directors for their households—whether they like it or not. This can be stressful for everyone involved, but I’ve been amazed at some of the ambitious projects I’ve seen families undertake over the past few months using simple household items.
Let’s face it, it’s a lot easier to talk about and set sustainability goals than it is to actually create and launch technically, operationally, and commercially viable greener formulas.
