Adhesive Solutions to the Challenges of Bonding to Low Energy Surfaces

From FLEXcon Corporation
 

 

FLEXcon has been an active participant in the design and manufacturing of pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA)- containing composites for over 50 years. These products range from material used for bumper stickers to the highly engineered PSAs used for sound damping or for bonding to low surface energy materials such as silicone rubber. The emphasis in this technical paper will be with the engineered PSAs.
