Self-adhesive paper covered by a backing sheet.
American term for self-adhesive (and permanently tacky), but may also refer to material designed to undergo visual change as the effect of pressure (as in damage-evident or scribable face materials).
Pressure Sensitive is a term commonly used to designate a distinct category of adhesive tapes and adhesives which in dry (solvent free) form are aggressivelyand permanently tacky at room temperature and firmly adhere to a variety of dissimilar surfaces upon mere contact without the need of more than finger or hand pressure. They require no activation by water, solvent or heat in order to exert a strong adhesive holding force toward such materials as paper, plastic, glass, wood, cement and metals. They require no activation by water, solvent or heat in order to exert a strong adhesive holding force toward such materials as paper, plastic, glass, wood, cement and metals. They have a sufficiently cohesive holding and elastic nature so that, despite their aggressive tackiness, they can be handled with the fingers and removed from smooth surfaces without leaving a residue. General trade usage by leading tape manufactures does not sanction extension of the term "pressure sensitive" to embrace tapes and adhesives merely because they are sticky (e.g. fly-papers), or merely because they adhere or cohere.
When self-sealing envelope adhesives are applied to the seal flap and covered by release paper.
Adhesive that can be applied to a substrate by using (typ) light pressures.
A category of dry adhesives which are aggressively tacky at room temperature, adhering to surfaces firmly, with now more than light pressure.
Normally consisting of four layers of face stock, primer, adhesive and liner. Commonly called self adhesive sticker.
Borders that do not need to be soaked to activate the paste. Should only be installed on clean, smooth, non-porous surfaces. Not recommended for use over vinyl wallpaper.
A term commonly used to designate a distinct category of adhesive tapes and adhesives' which' in dry (solvent-free) form' are aggressively and permanently tacky at room temperature and firmly adhere to a variety of dissimilar surfaces upon mere contact without the need of more than finger or hand pressure. They require no activation by water' solvent' or heat to exert a strong adhesive holding force toward such materials as paper' plastic' glass' wood' cement' and metals. They have a sufficiently cohesive holding and elastic nature so that' despite their aggressive tackiness' they can be handled with the fingers and removed from smooth surfaces without leaving a residue. General trade usage by leading tape manufacturers does not sanction extension of the term "pressure sensitive" to embrace tapes and adhesives merely because they are sticky (e.g.' fly-papers)' or merely because they adhere or cohere to a particular type of surface (e.g. self-sealing envelopes); terms other than "pressure sensitive" should be used in such cases to avoid confusion.
An adhesive that reacts when pressure is applied to the surfaces it is between. Sometimes used to refer to vinyl with a pressure-sensitive adhesive.
Material that already has adhesive applied to it.
Adhesive that can be applied by using light pressure (finger rubbing).
The ability of an adhesive to be activated by pressure and requires no heat, solvent, or other preparation for adhesion to smooth, clean surfaces.
