PSA Bonding: Guidance for improved adhesive selection & use

A 90-min online short course by Edward Petrie
PSA Bonding: Guidance for improved adhesive selection & use
Reach targeted bonding performance (tack, durability, temperature resistance) with practical guidance to find the best adhesive / processing technology for your need.

Converters / End-users: Go faster when designing PSA bonds by selecting the right solution
Formulators: Jump into your customers shoes & see how to best fit their requirements
Course Type Formulation - Level Introduction
Why you should attend
  1. Save time selecting the appropriate PSA and test methods for your specific requirements (wide temperature range, environmental/chemical resistance, low VOC…)
  2. Achieve reliable & durable bonds thanks to practical application guidance: surface preparation, contact pressure, set time…
  3. Easily apply our expert recommendations based on real-life examples on packaging tapes, labels & decals, medical, automotive…
Who is it for?
  • Adhesives converters, end-users needing an update or refresher on the essential requirements to achieve successful PSA bonds
  • Formulators needing to better know how their customers design bonding structures & parameters affecting performance

    The following sections will be covered during this session:

    1. Introduction

    2. Advantages and Disadvantages of Using PSAs

    3. Types of PSAs

    4. How to Choose the Right PSA

      1. Adhesive Properties

      2. Application Properties

    5. Requirements of PSAs

      1. Initial Bond Strength

      2. Environmental Aging

    6. Application Factors

      1. Surface Preparation

      2. Contact Pressure

      3. Other Factors

    7. Application Examples

      1. Labels and Decals

    "Very good course! It helps me to better understand how adhesives are and how their properties affect the selection of an adhesive"
    Pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) is one of the most widely recognized and used adhesives. PSA offers a good tack and very often a clean removal, enough to satisfy in many applications (packaging, office, medical, transportation, appliances building & constructions…). But PSA is such a big market that offers many types and forms of different adhesives. Being aware of the different PSA available and making decision related to its choice is time consuming and complex.

    By attending this online course, you will get a broad-based foundation to select, test and apply the best PSA for a specific end-use by reviewing in details:

    • Properties of various families of PSAs
    • Application factors such as surface preparation, contact pressure, set time…
    • Performance assessment with standard tests
    • Practical examples
