Many electronics contractors have discovered the convenience of using Technibond's specialist converting service, offering bonding parts accurately cut to match their working components.

With today's increased efficiency demands, fabricators and contractors can neither afford to waste time waiting for adhesives to dry, nor risk incurring contaminated surfaces using messy wet adhesives.

Also there are health and safety factors involved with harmful solvents given off by performance wet adhesives.

Many electronics contractors have discovered the convenience of using Technibond's specialist converting service, offering bonding parts accurately cut to match their working components.

For the electronics industry, these dry adhesive parts, which are in a controlled bespoke shape, are essential for efficient assembly, especially where production targets are critical.

Technibond provides these adhesive parts, based on quality high performance acrylic adhesive systems, converted to exactly match the contours of the customer components.

Furthermore, these accurately manufactured adhesive parts, can be supplied with special release papers to make their application quick and easy.

With the facility of their special "butterfly" release liners, only the selected area of adhesive is exposed, so that the required part can be placed accurately in position.

Then it is simply a case of applying pressure, and lifting the part away from the supporting release liner and the required adhesive section is accurately and securely bonded in place, ready for fixing onto the final receiving surface.

To attempt to try and apply these high tack parts in any other way, would end up with contamination, adhesive in the wrong place, or a badly distorted adhesive gasket, creating unevenness in the bonded area.

Plastic mouldings in general are ideal for use with these simple and effective bonding components.

From supplied drawings, an inexpensive tool is produced to provide initial samples.

These can then be used to prove the accuracy and effectiveness of the bonding part, before going into full production.

Technibond offers a specialist adhesive converting service combined with skilled technical staff who can advise on the best converted format, based on many years experience of real hands-on problem solving.
