Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are ubiquitous in many applications, such as labels, packaging tape, medical tapes, automotive tapes, and graphics. Two major chemistries are used in PSAs: acrylics and rubber in the forms of solvent-based, waterborne, or hot melt.
Solventborne polyurethane adhesives have been used for over 50 years. They have a long history of producing high-strength, durable bonds, and can be used on a range of substrates.
