Adhesives for advanced assembly

The latest generation of pressure-sensitive adhesives and converted materials offer significant potential for product improvement. They play a key role in better product performance, greater manufacturing efficiencies, better staff utilization, and overall cost reduction. Examples of manufacturing success attributable to better material uses span all industries and applications. An automotive manufacturer uses a pressure-sensitive adhesive to attach very long trim parts, while a fastener company has accelerated assembly with adhesive-backed rubber washers. A defense contractor uses a pressure-sensitive adhesive to bond thermal insulation panels to the engine compartments of military vehicles, while an electronics firm has improved worker safety and increased productivity with die-cut tape using the latest generation of pressure-sensitive adhesives and converted materials.
