Techsil has been rated A1 on performance by silicone manufacturer Momentive Performance Materials.

Traditionally mechanical fasteners were seen as the strongest and most reliable fixing method, however, double sided structural adhesive tapes can often exceed this strength, provide longer lasting reliable bonds and offer unique benefits. In this white paper, Techsil analyses the advatnages of using tapes as a replacement for mechanical fasteners.

The ability to deposit precise amounts of material is an ever-increasing necessity for manufacturers, particularly when assembling electronics and medical devices. Methods available for dispensing adhesives, epoxies and a multitude of other fluids cover a wide spectrum of techniques from manual applications like squeeze bottles, toothpicks and hand-plunger syringes to semi-automated tabletop dispensing robots.

In this white paper, Vlad Konopeklo explores the switch from manual squeeze bottle dispensing to benchtop fluid dispensing.

Topics Covered:

• Fluid Dispensing and Production Capacity
• Manual Methods
• Precision Fluid Dispensing
• Air-Powered Benchtop Dispensers
• Positive Displacement Dispensers
• Fluid Considerations
• What to look for in Benctop Dispensing Components
• Syringe Barrels
• Pistons
• Dispensing Tips
• Tip Caps and End Caps

Techsil offers a Technical Guide to using Adhesive Tapes.

Techsil have launched a new Ultraviolet Light Meter from UV curing equipment manufacturers, Hönle which measures intensity and dose of UV lamps and UV-LED curing units with exact precision.

In this case study Techsil provided a bespoke form-in-place foam gasket service to TRT Lighting to produce an IP rated seal for the lid of an outdoor lighting luminaire. The new process replaced a more time consuming manual application; the saved time allows for vital resources to be used elsewhere.
