Pressure Sensitive Adhesives Market was valued at $8,408 million in 2016, and is expected to garner $12,963 million by 2023, registering a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period 2017 – 2023. Pressure sensitive adhesives are those adhesives, which adhere to different substrates when pressure is applied. The primary bonding mode of pressure sensitive adhesives is based on polar attraction to the surface of a substrate. Several adhesive systems, such as solvent based and hot melt are utilized in manufacturing of pressure sensitive adhesives. In solvent-based systems, adhesive ingredients are suspended in solvent while in hot melts, thermoplastic rubbers are compounded with oils, tackifiers, and antioxidants. Pressure sensitive adhesives remain viscous and do not solidify, thus remain permanently tacky and possess the ability to wet surfaces, which come in contact. These adhesives are not true solids and thus their strength decreases with an increase in temperature. Product innovation...
