PSA Formulation: Meeting Efficiently Applications & Performance Requirements

A 90-min online short course by Edward Petrie
PSA Formulation: Meeting Efficiently Applications & Performance Requirements
Meet faster your application & performance requirements by reviewing the pros & cons of the various types and forms of PSAs and how they are formulated.

A special attention will be given to factors helping achieve the delicate balance of properties (adhesion, peel, tack…) in practice.

Interested in PSA bonding? Don’t miss PSA part 2.
Course Type Formulation - Level Introduction
Why you should attend
  1. Make a clear link between PSA properties and raw materials attributes (molecular weight, Tg, polarity…)
  2. Easily select optimum materials (polymers, additives, modifiers…) and processes (coating, drying, packaging…) to manufacture PSA with desired performance
  3. Get started with PSA formulations with practical guidelines for solvent-based, water-based, UV, hot melts, tape, film…
Who is it for?
  • Formulators, raw materials suppliers and anyone needing a fundamental background on PSA developments

    The following sections will be covered during this session:

    1. Introduction


    2. Types of PSA Constructions and Their Components

      1. Liquid Coatings (Solvent and Water Borne)

      2. UV Coatings

      3. Hot Melts

      4. Tape and Film

    3. Property Requirements for PSAs

      1. Tack

      2. Shear and Peel

      3. Creep

      4. Aging

    4. Families of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives


    5. Formulation of PSA Adhesives

      1. Base Polymers

      2. Additives and Modifiers

    6. Processes in Producing PSAs

      1. Coating

      2. Drying

      3. Release Coatings

      4. Packaging

    At the end of the training there will be a Q&A Session where you can pose questions to Edward Petrie.

    A transcript of all the questions and answers will be made available after the event.

    Olaf B. , from Kraton Polymers GmbH:
    "Good overview over classes of PSA raw materials and formulation concepts, as well as basic property performance relationships."

    Rolando H. , from HB Fuller:
    "It gave in a very short time a very complete view of the current adhesive formulation technology."

    Due to its unique properties, pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) is one of the most widely recognized and used adhesives. PSA are made with a lot of materials and through many types and forms in order to satisfy a wide range of application requirements (tack, temperature resistance, UV, low VOC…).

    By attending this online course, you will get a large, quick and neutral review of:

    • The unique properties required of PSAs
    • The materials commonly used in PSAs and processes needed to satisfy those requirements
    • Formulation guidelines for solvent-based, water-based, UV, films…
