Acrylic Tape

Almost all Gaska Tape products are coated with "Acrylic Pressure Sensitive Adhesives". They offer performance advantages over other types of compositions. Acrylic adhesives (PSAs) exhibit good ultraviolet and exterior durability, excellent chemical resistance and a broad range of service temperatures. These adhesives are characterized or defined by Tack, Peel and Shear.

Tack is a measure of an adhesive's immediate hardness. The most common form of characterization is finger tack or 'thumb appeal'. More formal measurements are polyken, loop or rolling ball tack.

Peel is a measure of an adhesive's ability to wet out a surface and subsequently adhere to the substrate.

Shear is a measure of an adhesive's vertical holding power. It is generally measured by attaching a specific surface area of adhesive to a substrate, attaching a known weight to the adhesive and carrier, then measuring the amount of time the adhesive would hold the weight.

Water Based Acrylic Emulsion Adhesive

Emulsion acrylics consist of acrylic emulsion polymers modified with tackifiers, surfactants, wetting agents, rheology control, foam and air release and other ingredients that enhance performance and coat ability. Offer relative safety in handling, processing and waste disposal.
