Definitions for "PRESSURE SENSITIVE"
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.
The ability of an instrument to respond to pressure applied to the keyboard after the initial depression of a key. Sometimes called aftertouch.
