Exploring Assembly Applications for Adhesives and Sealants
From automotive and construction to general industrial applications, the use of adhesives and sealants is expanding in assembly operations around the world.
We’re focusing on adhesives in assembly applications in this issue of ASI, and it’s always exciting to see the industry’s development of new technologies in this sector, as well as the increasing willingness of OEMs and others to accept them. From automotive and construction to general industrial applications, the use of adhesives and sealants is expanding in assembly operations around the world.
Our cover story this month details the various ways that adhesives are used in electronics assembly. “Adhesives provide a strong bond while protecting components against the damaging effects of excessive vibration, heat, moisture, corrosion, mechanical shock, and extreme environmental conditions,” writes Hernon Manufacturing’s Simla Ay. “They also offer thermal and electrically conductive properties, as well as UV curing abilities.”
