Acrylic Adhesives
Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives are the material of choice when transfer tape or double-coated film constructions must deliver UV stability, broad temperature service, and reliable adhesion to difficult substrates — including low-surface-energy plastics, coated metals, and architectural surfaces — where rubber-based PSAs age and lose tack. Their acrylic chemistry provides oxidative stability and UV resistance that rubber adhesives cannot sustain over outdoor or elevated-temperature service lives, with LSE and low-VOC variants addressing the bonding and regulatory requirements of electronics, automotive, and green building applications. H-O Products carries the full range of acrylic adhesive families, from carrier-free transfer tapes and scrim-reinforced grades through double-coated film, LSE acrylic, NetBond, and high-temperature A702 variants, and converts them to customer specification.
