Pressure Sensitive Adhesives & Sealants
3M™ VHB™ tapes, Loctite threadlockers, Devcon epoxies, and Geltek sealant strips
Sealing Devices offers a variety of pressure sensitive Adhesives (PSA’s), pressure sensitive tapes, threadlockers, epoxies, sealants, dry / hot melts, RTV’s, and one or multi-part sealants. While many sealants and adhesives can be enhanced by applying pressure or heat, many will set up and cure at room temperature.
Our Applications Engineers will work closely with you to select the best adhesive or sealant recommendation for your substrate and application.

What is a Pressure Sensitive Adhesive?
PSAs is an adhesive that forms a bond under light pressure without requiring heat, water, or solvents. It is commonly used in applications like tapes, labels, and medical dressings due to its ease of application and clean removal properties.
In the seal and gasket industry, pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are typically used in the following applications:
Gasket Attachment: PSAs are used to secure gaskets in place during assembly and operation. This ensures a reliable seal and prevents the gasket from shifting or dislodging.
Sealing Tapes: PSAs are applied to sealing tapes used for creating airtight or watertight seals in various applications, such as HVAC systems, automotive components, and industrial equipment.
Foam Seals: Foam gaskets and seals often use PSAs to adhere to surfaces, providing cushioning, sealing, and insulation in automotive, electronics, and construction applications.
Bonding Seals to Irregular Surfaces: PSAs are useful for bonding seals and gaskets to surfaces that may be difficult to adhere to with traditional adhesives, such as textured or curved surfaces.
Temporary Seals: In situations where a temporary seal is required, such as during maintenance or testing, PSAs provide an easy-to-apply and remove solution.
Custom Die-Cut Gaskets: PSAs are used in the manufacturing of custom die-cut gaskets, where the adhesive is applied to one side of the gasket material to facilitate easy installation.
Maintenance and Repair Kits: PSAs are included in repair kits for quick fixes and replacements, ensuring that gaskets and seals can be applied efficiently in the field.
These applications take advantage of the ease of use, immediate bonding, and versatility of PSAs, making them a valuable component in the seal and gasket industry.
Industry Leading Adhesives & Sealants
How is a Pressure Sensitive Adhesive made? PSAs are typically made by blending polymers, tackifiers, and other additives to achieve the desired adhesive properties. The mixture is then coated onto a backing material and dried to form a tacky layer that adheres upon application of pressure.
The PSAs we source are engineered to provide strong, reliable bonding solutions across various substrates and applications. We offer an extensive range of high-performance pressure-sensitive adhesives, sealants, tapes, and more, designed to meet the diverse needs of various industries and applications.
