Pressure-Sensitive Formulation 1st Edition by Istvan Benedek

Pressure-Sensitive Formulation (ISBN 9789067643306) is a state-of-the-art technical monograph dedicated to the scientific and industrial formulation of pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA). Based on extensive industrial and research experience, this book provides a complete and detailed understanding of how PSA products are designed, mixed, processed, and optimized.

This volume covers the theoretical foundations of adhesion, cohesion, wetting, tack, peel, shear strength, polymer behavior, elastomers, tackifiers, additives, crosslinking systems, and coating technologies. It also explores the real-world know-how used by manufacturers of tapes, labels, films, and specialty PSA products.

A must-have reference for chemists, materials scientists, product engineers, production managers, and professionals working in adhesives, polymers, converting, laminating, and pressure-sensitive product development.
