Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) play an integral part in the functionality of foam components.  They are used for everything from permanent fasteners to temporary assembly aids. Applications vary and there are multiple types of PSAs to choose from.  Choosing the right PSA for your application involves a comprehensive look at your end-use application, the materials and substrates involved, the environment in which your foam component will be used, and the stresses to which it will be subjected. 

PSAs do not require solvent, water, or heat to activate the adhesive. The bond is directly influenced by the amount of pressure which is used to apply the adhesive to the surface.

Assistance with PSA selection is just one of the many value-added capabilities that Universal Foam Products offers to help our customers improve product quality, reduce costs, and increase efficiency.
