Pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA, self-stick) bonds with pressure on a clean, dry surface. No water, solvent, or heat to activate. It stays tacky and wets out on contact. Permanent or removable.
We supply water-based acrylic, solvent-based, hot melt PSA, and UV-cured PSA. Raw materials we actually use: acrylics, silicone, rubber, SBS, polyurethane, vinyl acetate, epoxy. Color, peel, tack, shear, and viscosity to spec.
We coat PSA onto felts, films, foams, liners, magnet, papers, plastics, and textiles for industrial tape. Master rolls or slit rolls.
Labels, tapes, packaging, converting
Paper and film labels; packing-slip and security-bag seals; masking and protective tapes; graphic arts and direct mail; automotive interior PSA where specified; foam/film/foil laminations. Permanent high peel or clean-removable — tell us the face stock, liner, and peel target.
Chemistries we run
Water-based acrylic PSA, solvent-based PSA, hot melt PSA, and UV-cured PSA. Build: acrylics, rubber/SBS, silicone, polyurethane, vinyl acetate, epoxy as required for peel, tack, shear, and temperature. We also coat PSA onto felts, films, foams, liners, magnet, papers, plastics, and textiles — master or slit rolls.
We can formulate
Peel (oz/in), loop tack, shear, viscosity for slot/roll/spray, clarity, low-temp tack, and plasticizer resistance. Removable vs permanent vs repositionable. LSE plastics need an explicit match — see bonding LSE substrates.

Pressure sensitive adhesive FAQ
What is pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA)?
Pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA, self-stick) bonds with pressure on a clean, dry surface. No water, solvent, or heat to activate. It stays tacky and wets out on contact. Permanent or removable.
Which PSA chemistries does Cattie supply?
Water-based acrylic PSA, solvent-based PSA, hot melt PSA, and UV-cured PSA. Raw materials we use: acrylics, silicone, rubber, SBS, polyurethane, vinyl acetate, and epoxy, as required for peel, tack, shear, and temperature. Color, peel, tack, shear, and viscosity to spec.
What are Cattie pressure sensitive adhesives used for?
Paper and film labels; packing-slip and security-bag seals; masking and protective tapes; graphic arts and direct mail; automotive interior PSA where specified; foam/film/foil laminations. Also used on packaging, paper converting, and product assembly. Permanent high peel or clean-removable.
Does Cattie coat PSA onto substrates?
Yes. We coat PSA onto felts, films, foams, liners, magnet, papers, plastics, and textiles for industrial tape, supplied as master rolls or slit rolls.
What PSA properties can Cattie formulate?
Peel (oz/in), loop tack, shear, viscosity for slot/roll/spray, clarity, low-temp tack, and plasticizer resistance. Removable vs permanent vs repositionable. LSE (low surface energy) plastics need an explicit match.
How do I get a PSA match?
