Today’s phones, tablets, and other electronic devices are sleeker and lighter than earlier models. They often use glass with a thinner, beveled edge. The foam tapes used to bond parts in these devices are thinner as well, with manufacturers now specifying tapes as thin as 250 microns.
Many tape converters are thus being asked to provide more with less: thinner adhesive glass tapes that provide impact resistance for thinner glass. Avery Dennison offers multiple solutions for this challenging application.
- An acrylic adhesive solution featuring a foam that can be customized to the manufacturer’s need, providing excellent impact resistance.
- An elastomeric adhesive solution featuring a customizable foam for high-impact resistance. It also allows a device to be easily disassembled for recycling.
- A double-coated polyethylene film tape for applications where cost is the primary driver of tape selection.
