How to select the SIS grades for producing solvent-based pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA)?

Keywords: Pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA), SIS

 

I. Application fields of solvent-based pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA)

 

Owing to excellent water resistance and toughness, solvent-based pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA) are widely used in automotive, electronics, computer, woodworking and medical industries. They are applied in bonding foam materials, splicing wood-based panels, manufacturing adhesive plasters, insulating tapes, transparent adhesive tapes, etc.

 

II. Selection of SIS Grades in the Formulation

 

The formulation is similar to the hot-melt type. For general-purpose pressure-sensitive adhesives, SIS 1105 and SIS 1106 can be used.For self-adhesive labels, SIS 1124 and SIS 1126 with high diblock content are preferred. For applications requiring high shear adhesion and high temperature resistance, SIS 1209 is recommended.
