About Pressure Sensitive Adhesives

Rubber based

Generally the least expensive. Good adhesion to low surface energy materials. Functions best in low temperature ranges. Poor chemical resistance.

Acrylic

Good chemical resistance. Functions well in high temperature applications. Best for long term adhesion.

Acrylic/Rubber

Good for bonding substrates with differing (hi-lo) surface energies.

Modified Acrylic

Good for bonding a wider variety of substrates. Moderate temperature resistance.

Silicone

Most expensive. Excellent high temperature use and chemical resistance. Bonds to narrow range of substrates.
