Adhesives, also commonly referred to as bonding systems, adhesive tape and pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), are highly engineered materials typically used to adhere various materials together or bond a component into an assembly.
There are a number of key performance indicators that help Boyd identify what PSA or adhesive is best for an application, like mating substrate polymer type, surface contact, dwell time or potential environmental exposures. The success or failure of an adhesive is much more dynamic than simply the strength of the adhesive.
Boyd is an adhesives expert with decades of experience designing custom solutions that feature adhesives and tape for quick and easy assembly.
Solutions:
Soft or hard durometers which help determine conformability or stability
Low to high flexibility
Repositionable or low tack for applications that require rework ability
Resistance to UV, solvents, plasticizer migration, various chemicals & environmental exposures for reliable performance in diverse or harsh environments
Optically clear adhesives (OCA), transparent or translucent tapes
Heat activated tapes for ultimate bond adhesion
Specialized low surface energy (LSE) formulations for hard to stick to substrates like powder coated surfaces, certain plastic or rubber compounds & oil residue
Ultra low or high temperature resistance for environmental extremes
Low VOC (volatile organic compound) adhesives for sensitive or enclosed applications
Heat & flame resistant solutions
Thermally or electrically conductive adhesives & tapes
Custom thicknesses, lengths, widths, colors, adhesion ratings
Formatted for use with automated assembly equipment & easy pick-and-place
Designed & cut to custom shapes or slit-to-width
Innovative converting processes for island placement of adhesive, full or selective coverage & kiss-cut applications
Materials:
Transfer tape (“free film”)
Single or double coated tapes with various carriers (plastic films, cloth, foam, metal, etc.)
Acrylic tape, modified acrylic, rubber & silicone
Low surface energy formulations (LSE)
Ultra high bond formulations
Differentially coated tapes (different adhesive types on either side)
Hook-and-loop options for bonding in repeated use applications
Custom coatings / formulations
