Discover the full range of Avery Dennison pressure-sensitive adhesive technologies, from rubber and acrylic to silicone, for demanding industrial applications.
Pressure-sensitive adhesives deliver fast, reliable bonding without heat or solvents. Suited for high-speed manufacturing across industries like automotive, electronics, and building and construction, these adhesive solutions support efficient, scalable industrial production.
At Avery Dennison, we specialize in developing pressure-sensitive adhesive solutions that empower engineers, designers, and converters to achieve more, whether it's simplifying processes, maximizing product performance, or meeting demanding environmental conditions.
Pressure-sensitive adhesives (commonly referred to as PSAs) are a class of adhesives that form a bond when light pressure is applied. No water. No heat. No drying or curing time. Their unique ability to adhere instantly to a wide range of substrates makes them essential across countless industrial applications.
These adhesives are engineered to perform under pressure, literally and figuratively. Designed for reliability, they bond effectively to materials like plastics, metals, textiles, and foams, while withstanding exposure to moisture, UV light, extreme temperatures, and vibration.
These advantages make pressure-sensitive adhesives a preferred choice for manufacturers looking to simplify assembly, improve product performance, and support scalable production across multiple industries.
You'll find our pressure-sensitive adhesives at work in industries where durability, speed, and consistency are critical. Our adhesives support a wide range of specific use cases:
Selecting the right pressure-sensitive adhesive depends on factors such as substrate type, surface energy, environmental exposure, and performance requirements. Rubber, acrylic, silicone, and differential adhesive systems each offer distinct advantages depending on the application. Avery Dennison supports adhesive selection through proven PSA technologies designed for a wide range of industrial bonding needs.
