PSA READY & ADHESIVE BACKED SHEET
If you think TPE's, TPO's, SEBS and pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) cannot be bonded together, think again! Sherwood has revolutionized adhesive bonding with our newest products:
PSA Ready Sheet and Adhesive Backed Sheet
By combining the many advantages of our sheet products with perfect PSA bonding, we have created an innovative, multi-use solution for gaskets, seals, and any component that requires superior PSA results.
THE PROBLEM WITH TRADITIONAL RUBBER AND PSA BONDING
Until now, bonding PSA's to vulcanized rubber has required a toxic primer. This is a messy and time-consuming process with significant health risks to workers. Despite this process, the bond achieved with conventional priming methods is weak, resulting in the PSA often rubbing off. We have fixed this problem with our PSA ready sheet and adhesive backed sheet products.
SHERWOOD'S SOLUTION
SHERWOOD’S INNOVATIVE SOLUTION
Sherwood has eliminated the need for toxic primers and drastically improved adhesive bonding with our PSA ready sheet and adhesive backed sheet. Our proprietary process ensures:
- No More Toxic Primers – Eliminates the need for hazardous chemicals.
- Superior Bonding Strength – Vastly improved adhesion over traditional methods.
- Oil Migration Block – Prevents internal oils from affecting the PSA.
Sherwood’s innovative technology has successfully replaced several large automotive vulcanized EPDM rubber parts that previously suffered from bonding failures due to primer/PSA inconsistencies.
So, if you’re struggling with rubber and PSA's, Sherwood has the solution.
WHAT WE EXTRUDE
SHERWOOD’S CAPABILITIES
We can extrude sheet from 0.020” to 0.250” (0.6 mm to 6.3mm) thick. We offer widths between 6” to 36”. Our extruded sheet can be wound onto 3″ or 6″ PVC cores. Our machinery allows for flexibility on the amount of linear feet wound on each roll or a certain weight limit per roll. With four patterns and color matching capabilities, we can provide you with a customized product for your application. We can accommodate orders ranging from 500 pounds to truckloads, shipped worldwide.
PSA READY SHEET
We combine our sheet products with a specialized backing. This backing allows you to apply a PSA of your choosing to the back of the sheet. This process works with TPE’s, TPO’s, SEBS and our popular Santoprene™ Thermoplastic Vulcanizate (TPV) sheet.
ADHESIVE BACKED SHEET
We combine our sheet products with a specialized backing and apply a PSA. This product has a liner to preserve the PSA. This process works with TPE’s, TPO’s, SEBS and our popular Santoprene™ Thermoplastic Vulcanizate (TPV) sheet.
