  2. Pressure-sensitive adhesive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-sensitive_adhesive

    Styrene block copolymers (SBC), also called styrene copolymer adhesives and rubber-based adhesives, have good low-temperature flexibility, high elongation, and high heat resistance. They are frequently used in hot melt adhesive applications, where the composition retains tack even when solidified; however non-pressure-sensitive formulations are ...

  3. RTV silicone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTV_silicone

    RTV silicone rubber can be used to cast materials including wax, gypsum, low-melt alloys/metals, and urethane, epoxy, or polyester resins (without using a release agent). A more recent innovation is the ability to 3D print RTV silicones.

  4. Rubber cement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_cement

    Rubber cement (cow gum in British English) is an adhesive made from elastic polymers (typically latex) mixed in a solvent such as acetone, hexane, heptane or toluene to keep it fluid enough to be used. This makes it part of the class of drying adhesives: as the solvents quickly evaporate, the rubber solidifies, forming a strong yet flexible bond.

  5. Ethylene-vinyl acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene-vinyl_acetate

    The EVA copolymer which is based on a medium proportion of VA (approximately 4 to 30%) is referred to as thermoplastic ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and is a thermoplastic elastomer material. It is not vulcanized but has some of the properties of a rubber or of plasticized polyvinyl chloride particularly at the higher end of the range. Both ...

  6. Self-adhesive plastic sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-adhesive_plastic_sheet

    Self-adhesive plastic sheet, known in the United Kingdom as sticky-backed plastic, is wide plastic sheet or film with an adhesive layer on one side, used as a surface coating for decorative purposes. It is typically smooth and shiny, but can also come in textured varieties, in which case it can sometimes be used as a cheap alternative to veneer .

  7. Pressure-sensitive tape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-sensitive_tape

    Release coating. A very thin coating applied to the impervious tape backing so as to allow the tape to be unwound at a controlled level. Substrate. The substrate is the material to which the PSA tape must adhere. Tack. The sticky feel of the tape. It is the initial adhesion without rub-down. Telescoping. A sideways sliding of the tape layers ...

  8. UV curing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_curing

    A primary advantage of curing with ultraviolet light is the speed at which a material can be processed. Speeding up the curing, or drying step, [11] in a process can reduce flaws and errors by decreasing time that an ink or coating spends as wet. This can increase the quality of a finished item, and potentially allow for greater consistency.

  9. Polyvinyl acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_acetate

    As the coating layer on Gouda cheese. [ 11 ] The stiff homopolymer PVAc, but mostly the softer copolymer , a combination of vinyl acetate and ethylene, vinyl acetate ethylene (VAE), is also used in paper coatings, paint and other industrial coatings, as a binder in nonwovens in glass fibers , sanitary napkins , filter paper and in textile ...
