Adhesion is the function of holding two substrates together in a temporary or permanent state. Nitto develops and manufactures a wide range of adhesives which give the appropriate bonding capabilities based on related substrate, processing and application conditions. |
Permanent adhesives are ultra-strong and cannot be removed easily from the substrate.
Gentle adhesion adheres to delicate surfaces and removes with minimal or no damage to the substrate.
Low surface energy means a weaker molecular attraction (ex: beads of water on a waxed surface), making these substrates more challenging to bond a pressure sensitive adhesive to.
Oil typically prevents adhesive from achieving a bond with a substrate. However, adhesives designed for oily surfaces can achieve a bond to the substrate.
Rough surfaces are irregular which makes them difficult to adhere adhesives to due to the minimal surface contact with the substrate.
