​Water Based Pressure Sensitive Adhesives from the Pros

A pressure-sensitive adhesive is something that keeps two surfaces together by external pressure. Of course, there are different types of adhesives and finding the right one depends on the requirements of a product. In some cases, dry adhesives can be effective, as they do not need anything like water or heat to activate. However, in many instances, water based pressure sensitive adhesives might be the best choice. And, these adhesives are ideal for many materials, including plastic, metal, and paper.

The Advantages of Water Based Pressure Sensitive Adhesives

Companies choose water based pressure sensitive adhesives for a variety of different reasons. While solvent-based adhesives are a popular choice, they can be expensive. Plus, there are restrictions on the processing. Thus, a water-based adhesive provides a more cost-effective option because there are fewer steps involved. In addition, some processes commonly use water-based adhesives for safety reasons.
