Pressure Sensitive Solutions

Key technology expert to present during poster session.

MIDLAND, MICH.—The Dow Corning Corporation Pressure Sensitive Industry team will exhibit at the Pressure Sensitive Tape Council’s (PSTC) Week of Learning, from May 9 to 13, 2011, at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando.

The PSTC Week of Learning will bring together those involved in the pressure sensitive adhesive industry, including manufacturers, suppliers, associations and industry experts, and offer a variety of learning experiences for the attendees.

“We are excited to illustrate our proven and innovative silicones for the pressure sensitive adhesives market,” said Christian Velasquez,
Dow Corning’s global market director for the Pressure Sensitive Industry. “Dow Corning is dedicated to delivering high-performance solutions for tapes, protective films and durable labeling solutions, including a comprehensive selection of silicone-based adhesives and release coatings.”

Dow Corning® brand silicone pressure sensitive adhesives offer critical advantages that organic adhesives such as acrylic, natural rubber and other competing materials can’t match. Advantages include a excellent service temperature range, conformability, adhesion to low energy surfaces, adhesive tack and much more.  

In addition to the exhibition, a Dow Corning technical expert will provide a more thorough presentation on its technologies during the poster session scheduled from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 11. Dow Corning’s Timothy Mitchell, application engineering technical specialist, also is set to present on ambient polymerization of acrylic pressure sensitive adhesives used in healthcare applications during the 2 p.m. TECH 34 session also on Wednesday, May 11.
