While you might think pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are pretty straightforward, selecting the wrong for your enclosure application can create problems and compromise sealing performance long before final assembly takes place.
Learn the key features of each adhesive type in latest blog on the Rogers website, How to Choose the Right PSA for Your Enclosure Components, and the video below to get an idea of which adhesives perform well in different situations. Once you have an understanding, you can start designing more reliable sealing components for your enclosure applications.
Disclaimer: The Enclosure Institute™ is a free educational resource created by Marian, Inc. and Rogers Corporation to help engineers navigate enclosure sealing with expert guidance.
In these content pieces, engineers will learn 8 critical considerations for selecting the right PSA for an enclosure application, including:
- Surface energy
- Peel and shear stress
- Environmental Resistance
- Adhesive chemistry
- Liner design
- Cost-effective sourcing
We explain the differences between rubber, acrylic, and silicone PSAs, and provide expert insight into when each might perform best. You’ll also learn how adhesive construction and layout (like zone lamination) impact manufacturability and long-term reliability.
