Brief History of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives Created in 1845 by a surgeon named Dr. Horace
Day. The adhesive consisted of India rubber, turpentine
extracts of cayenne pepper, litharge, pine gum, and other ingredients. The adhesive was added to a cloth support to create the first form of tape.
Commercial tapes: early twentieth century. (~1920) The first industrial use was in auto industries. The
tapes were used to create masks for two-toned colored cars.
Shortly after household/DIY adhesives became available to the public in small amounts.

History Continued Adhesive Ingredients/Continued
There are many different combinations of ingredients to create adhesive types. Adhesives are patented by companies, each individual company has their own adhesive.After contacting Chiquita about what
their adhesives are made of, their reply was as follows:
“Much of the material that students request is either difficult for us to develop or may be confidential…The adhesive type is "hot melt rubber". It's a rubber based adhesive with high initial tack and bond strength, for a wide variety of substrates.”

How do PSAs work? Pressure sensitive adhesives require pressure to
initiate bonding between the adhesive and the substrate.
All other adhesives require heat, water or a solvent to be applied to the substrate.

How do pressure sensitive adhesives effect the environment? The ingredients used in the adhesives give off
toxin/hazardous chemicals being released into the air. Toxins/hazardous chemicals released to the environment
vary based upon how the adhesive is made and for what kind of product.
Solvent-based adhesives are the most volatile to the environment.
Harmful substances: volatile organic compounds toxic curing agents plasticizers diluents and other additives

Adhesion Methods Solvent Hot melt Emulsion
![Page 7: Fruit Stickers Adhesives](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568165c2550346895dd8cb14/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Solvent Adhesive ingredients are dissolved in
solvent solution and applied to a web of material. The solvent then dries leaving the adhesive behind.
Most volatile to the environment. Ex: Sealants
![Page 8: Fruit Stickers Adhesives](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568165c2550346895dd8cb14/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Hot Melt Thermoplastic rubbers are formulated
with tackifying resins, oils and antioxidants. Need to be heated to adhere to the substrate.
Resist temperatures up to 300° F Ex: Hot glue
![Page 9: Fruit Stickers Adhesives](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568165c2550346895dd8cb14/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Emulsion Ingredients are emulsified in water,
applied to a web and then dried, the adhesive is left behind.
Ex: Glue stick

How Adhesives are Compared Shear Tack/ Tensile Peel Adhesion Cold flow/ ooze/ Bleed
![Page 11: Fruit Stickers Adhesives](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568165c2550346895dd8cb14/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Shear Measure of the internal or cohesive
strength of the adhesive. This is tested by putting equal pressure in opposite
directions on each side of the adhesive layer. There is an inverse relationship between
shear and the tack and peel adhesion.

![Page 12: Fruit Stickers Adhesives](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568165c2550346895dd8cb14/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Tack/ Tensile Measure of the force required to remove
the label and adhesive from the substrate. Tested by using force to pull the adhesive away from
the substrate. It also refers to the measure of initial
attraction of the adhesive to the substrate.
Manipulated by manufacturers to fit consumers needs.

![Page 13: Fruit Stickers Adhesives](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568165c2550346895dd8cb14/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Peel Adhesion Measures bond strength between an
adhesive and a substrate. Tested by adding stress in a peeling motion away
from the substrate. Adhesion continues to increase for 24
hours after being applied to the material.
<http://www.lgintl.com/LabelEducation/PSL/label-education-adhesives.htm>
![Page 14: Fruit Stickers Adhesives](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568165c2550346895dd8cb14/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Cold flow/ ooze/ Bleed Bleed Through: The migration of
components from the adhesive onto the face material.
Cold Flow: The viscous flow of a PSA under stress. Signs of this shows that the adhesive is
dysfunctional.

Adhesive Formulation Rubber-based Adhesives Acrylic Adhesives Modified Acrylic Adhesives
![Page 16: Fruit Stickers Adhesives](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568165c2550346895dd8cb14/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Rubber-based Adhesives Made of synthetic, non-latex rubbers, formulated
with tackified resins, oils and antioxidants. Good for initial tack and adhesion for low-surface-
energy. Low temperature resistance (typically <150° F) Low resistance to solvents, sterilization,
chemicals or ultraviolet rays. Used for adhesion with high moisture application.
![Page 17: Fruit Stickers Adhesives](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568165c2550346895dd8cb14/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Acrylic Adhesives Based on acrylic polymers. More resistant to solvents, UV light, elevated
temperatures, plasticizers and chemical reagents than rubber-based adhesives.
More costly than rubber based adhesives. Longer lasting adhesion and resistance to
environmental conditions than rubber-based adhesives.
Low to moderate initial tack and adhesion. Do not adhere well to low-surface-energy
substrates.
![Page 18: Fruit Stickers Adhesives](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568165c2550346895dd8cb14/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Modified Acrylic Adhesives Hybrid between rubber-based and acrylic-
based adhesives. Improved initial tack and adhesion to low-
surface-energy materials. Decreased resistance to solvents, plasticizers
and UV light. Shear properties and temperature resistance
are reduced. Lose internal strength and environmental
stability because they are modified.
![Page 19: Fruit Stickers Adhesives](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568165c2550346895dd8cb14/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Additional Effects to the Environment Solvent-based (rubber or acrylic)
pressure sensitive adhesives use a toluene and other organic solvents. Toluene and other volatile organic
solvents are not beneficial to the environment or to the body.

Types of Adhesives
![Page 22: Fruit Stickers Adhesives](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568165c2550346895dd8cb14/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Permanent Adhesives Good bonding characteristics and withstand
most environmental conditions. Performance depends on the surface they
are applied to.
![Page 23: Fruit Stickers Adhesives](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568165c2550346895dd8cb14/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Removable Adhesives Has a short-term life or is applied to a
surface that could be damaged by the adhesive.
Longer-term removable adhesives are available. Strength depends on the manipulation of the
ingredients added to create the adhesive. This differs with each company.
![Page 24: Fruit Stickers Adhesives](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568165c2550346895dd8cb14/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Repositionable Adhesives Allows label to be applied more than once
onto the same or different surface without leaving residue behind.

Adhesive Effects on the Environment after Use There is a wide variety of PSAs that are
petroleum-based. Petroleum-based are NOT biodegradable
but are labeled disposable. Acrylic polymers and copolymers are also
not biodegradable. The only PSA that are biodegradable are
natural rubber-based adhesives.
![Page 28: Fruit Stickers Adhesives](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568165c2550346895dd8cb14/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Dyna-Tech Adhesive Dyna-Tech Adhesives & Coatings Division, Inc., was
founded by Richard C. Oldack in 1981. His goal was to manufacture adhesives that are
environmentally friendly adhesives. As well as make other industries and consumers aware of the benefits of his adhesives.
The adhesives used by Dyna-Tech are rubber-resin, water-based, PSAs for major tape, labeling and graphic arts industries. If the larger industries used these environmentally
friendly adhesives then hopefully it would be enough to make a difference for the environment.

Data Sheets This is what a company would disclose to the
public. The amount of information given is dependent on what the company is willing to disclose. DyTac 9127 PSA 2300

Alternative Solutions Use more natural rubber-based adhesives for
faster biodegradable labels. Use edible stamps/labels.
Draw backs: food/dye allergies Fruitwash
The label is made of soap for your fruit, overall it is better for your health.
Switch to low-solvent adhesives. If possible, use solvent-free adhesives to prevent
excess emissions into the environment.
![Page 31: Fruit Stickers Adhesives](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568165c2550346895dd8cb14/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Alternative Solutions Continued Use more organic polymers and pre-polymers if all other options are
exhausted. These are not easily biodegradable, but can be removed by biological
treatments. Recycle old adhesive in a compost (industrial level) Change the way the adhesives are made:
Create more water-based, solvent-free, solid-based, low toxicity adhesives to better the environment. This will limit the amount of emissions being let into the environment.
Also use more water-based, solid-based, solvent-free, adhesives with low toxicity. Not all water-based adhesives are non-polluting, this must be monitored
before creating the adhesive. Replace solvent-based adhesives with emulsion-type acrylic pressure-
sensitive adhesives This will also limit the emissions being let into the environment
