PSTC Tape Week 2025: A Premier Event for the Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Tape Industry

Elkem will be among the prominent participants, showcasing their expertise and innovations in silicone technology. A highlight of their participation will be a presentation by Michael Cales, Senior Staff Scientist at Elkem Silicones USA. His talk, titled “A DOE Based Approach to Characterizing Cure of Silicone Release Coatings by DSC,” will explore the latest advancements in platinum-catalyzed, addition-cured, solvent-free release coatings.

Presentation Highlights:

• Innovative Research: Discover how differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is transforming our understanding of cure profiles.
• Groundbreaking Insights: Learn about novel methods used to plot conversion versus temperature and how they reveal the rate of reaction.
• Key Findings: Understand the two-step cure process and the factors influencing initiation, crosslinking, and full cure achievement.
