Silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives have outstanding performance and remarkable advantages:
- Stability over a wide temperature range: They can maintain their properties under extreme temperatures ranging from dozens of degrees below zero to several hundred degrees Celsius. They don't lose their adhesiveness at low temperatures or soften at high temperatures. They are suitable for bonding scenarios in cold outdoor areas and high-temperature working conditions, such as the attachment of exterior signs on automobiles and the adhesion of heat sinks in electronic devices.
- Excellent weather resistance: They can resist the erosion of ultraviolet rays, ozone, humidity changes, and atmospheric pollutants. When used outdoors for a long time, they won't age, change color, crack, or come off. They are used for outdoor advertisements, the adhesion of the frames of solar panels, etc., which can extend the service life of products and reduce costs.
- Strong chemical stability: They are resistant to acids, alkalis, salts, and organic solvents. When in contact with chemical reagents in industries like chemical engineering and pharmaceuticals, they can maintain the stability of their structures, ensure firm bonding, and prevent bonding failure caused by chemical erosion.
- Combination of low surface energy and high peel strength: They can have good wetting and contact with various materials, have wide compatibility and excellent initial adhesion. Meanwhile, they also have high peel strength, meeting the dual requirements of firm adhesion and removability. For example, they are excellent for adhering screen protectors of electronic devices.
- Good biocompatibility: They meet the safety standards for medical and food packaging. They are used for wound dressings, attaching labels on food packaging, etc., without causing irritation or allergic reactions, ensuring the safety of use and the quality of food. Silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives play a crucial role in many industries. With the continuous development of technology, their performance and applications will continue to expand and be optimized, providing better bonding solutions.
