The properties of acrylate-based products come close to those of standard industrial adhesive tapes, the company explains. Just like conventional adhesive tapes, these
provide bond strength within a short time after joining. After 24 hours, their physical post- crosslinking is complete. These liquid PSAs are ideal for bonding applications with short cycle times and moderate final strength requirements. As an added benefit, most products offer
an unlimited tape phase, allowing components to be joined weeks later – if they need to be shipped, for example. In addition, their excellent damping properties and low outgassing values mean acrylate-based products can be used in applications such as the assembly of smartphone speakers on structures with submillimeter widths. Epoxy resin-based products have been
developed for structural bonds with high final strength. With high temperature stability of up to +150˚C and good media resistance, these adhesives are highly suitable for more demanding bonding applications, such as those in the automotive industry. While the initial strength resulting from the tacky surface following irradiation is lower compared to the acrylate-based products, their final strength is significantly higher. These epoxy-based liquid PSAs cure at room
temperature within a few days after irradiation, although curing can also be accelerated by applying heat. Their properties enable brand
new joining processes in applications where adhesive tape solutions were initially ruled out. An example of this would be when bonding automotive sensors with blind hole geometries that require immediate fixation strength and high final strength.
a versaTile soluTion Liquid PSAs combine the properties of adhesive tapes with the easy, automatable, processing of liquid adhesives. Thanks to their tacky surface following irradiation, components can be joined with immediate initial strength by applying moderate contact pressure. This allows the components to be further processed right away without the need for additional temporary fixation. Liquid PSAs are ideal for
high-volume assembly processes. In comparison to adhesive tapes, the dispensing process can be easily automated and is not limited by the geometry of the bonding area. Furthermore, thanks to varying properties, depending on the
