Solving Customer Dilemmas With Fast, Creative Solutions
Adhesives are often used in appliance manufacturing to solve a range of design challenges, including structural bonding, threadlocking, thermal management, wire bonding and sealing. The ability of adhesives to bond dissimilar materials, reduce component inventory and decrease total manufacturing costs has enabled the production of many appliance designs that would be impossible or cost-prohibitive using only mechanical-fastening methods.
This article discusses how Venture Tape 1153, a scrim-reinforced acrylic-transfer film tape designed for high-stress bonding applications, was able to solve a customer's problem with fast results. Introduced earlier this year, the product was the result of a development cycle that involved design teams and product personnel from both the customer and the manufacturer.
