Tapes and adhesives are chosen in the electronics manufacturing sector for several important reasons, primarily due to their functional, protective, and assembly-supporting roles.
The following are typical problems within the electronics sector that can be solved using adhesives, tapes and sealants:
| Problem | Solution | Product Category |
|---|---|---|
| Limited space due to small device footprint | Thin double sided adhesive tapes allow for bonding of ultra thin components | Clear Foamed Acrylic tape 6110 |
| Bonding of dissimilar materials | Adhesives provide a flexible bond to accommodate different thermal expansions | Structural adhesives 2105 |
| Sealing against moisture, dust and contaminants | Sealants can provide an environmental barrier | Polyurethane Adhesive Sealant 12126 |
| Delamination or reduced optical clarity | Optically clear adhesives and tapes bond glass, touch sensors and displays | Clear Foamed Acrylic tape 6110 |
| Environmental protection in potting | Epoxy resin can prevent corrosion and short circuits caused by water ingress | Toughened Epoxy Resin 2605 |
| Component stabilisation | Cyanoacrylate for emergency bonding of small components that have come loose. Note: Most cyanoacrylates are electrically insulating—do not use near high-voltage or conductive paths unless tested. | Cyanoacrylate 1115 HV Super Glue |
Here are some typical applications for adhesives and tapes in the electronics sector:
- Printed circuit boards
- Consumer electronics – display bonding, frame adhesion.
- Adhesive mounting for automotive cameras
- Computer and server hardware
- Component retention
- Prototyping and product development
We believe that adhesives and tapes are valued in the electronics sector primarily due to their functional, protective, and assembly-supporting roles. They can provide a weight reducing and heat dissipation solution along with providing moisture and chemical resistant seals and maintain electrical insulation.
