What are PSA Tapes and Aspects to keep in mind while choosing tapes?
Super Bright Engineering Co, is here to help you out with everything you need.
Pressure sensitive adhesive tape (PSA) is a type of adhesive tape that sticks to a surface when pressure is applied. They consist of 4 components - substrates, adhesives, release liners, backing. Backing/carrier materials can consist of a variety of materials such as paper, plastic, and cloth. An adhesive is a sticky substance that allows the tape to stick to a surface. A release liner is a protective layer that prevents the adhesive from sticking before application.
SBECO supplies PSA tapes which are used in a variety of applications such as:
- Bond two surfaces together.
- Mask off areas
- Protect surfaces.
- Vibration damping
- Noise suppression
- Sealing
- DIY Craft work
These 3 are important aspects that Super Bright Engineering suggests for choosing an adhesive tape:
1.Adhesion:
The ability of the tape to stick to a surface. It's the adhesion between the tape and the surface. The adhesion test is based on the peel adhesion test. A peel adhesion test is basically the force required to remove a tape from a surface, whether rough, smooth, or hard. We at SBECO are known for supplying one of the good quality tapes which require a greater adhesion force to remove them.
2. Cohesion:
T
he ability of a ligament to stick to itself. This is the internal strength of the band to withstand external forces and tear. This is tested by creep resistance or shear resistance. This test shows how strong an adhesive tape sticks when two surfaces are taped together, and the amount of pressure required to pull them apart in different directions.
3. Tack:
It determines the adhesion and strength of the tape. The test is based on the rolling test. In this test, a ball is rolled over the adhesive. The distance where the ball stops helps determine the stickiness of the tape. The shorter the distance, the higher the adhesion and vice versa.
