Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Guide for Composite Materials

A hand peeling back a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive off of a piece of foam.

Pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA), or self-adhesive, is used with many of our composite materials to simplify their application to the surface being treated. PSA is a thin, flexible adhesive coating that adheres to various surfaces. Even though the technical performance of a material is not directly related to the adhesive, proper PSA application is critical. Many … Read more Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Guide for Composite Materials

The Future of Composites in the Aerospace Industry

Airplane Front View

When it comes to determining how well an aircraft will perform, the thrust-to-weight ratio is one of the most important metrics. Aerospace manufacturers have always aimed to keep this ratio as low as possible by creating lighter aircraft, but the metals traditionally used in aircraft bodies are heavy. Composite materials, on the other hand, are … Read more The Future of Composites in the Aerospace Industry

Power-Gen Really Packed a Pow!

Power Generation

Last week, for the 5th year in a row, Polymer Technologies participated in the POWER-GEN International conference and exhibit.  Showcasing our dynamic line of acoustical and thermal composites, our Polydamp line of noise absorbers, sound barriers, vibration damping, gasketing, and thermal materials were a huge hit!  Along with more than 1,200 other companies, we converged … Read more Power-Gen Really Packed a Pow!
