Petrol Pump Fascia: Innovation to create a new bonding solution.

At J.I.T., we are passionate about our  products, and take pleasure in customising them to help create new innovations for our customers. With 25 years in the business, we have a wealth of knowledge and expertise which we are happy to share with our clients and customers.

This is illustrated by our involvement with various different companies' R&D processes. For example, we were approached by a well-known petrol pump manufacturer who wanted to develop a completely new bonding solution for their pumps. Their objectives were simple:

  1. simplify their product using adhesive technology
  2. reduce the length of time it takes to produce each pump
  3. make the product more cost-effective

After various trials and with the help of our expertise, the new prototype was finally produced:

A Plexi-glass display fascia was mounted onto the aluminium using high-bond tape to form the finished display panel. To successfully do this, we used various methods including:

  • screen printing sheets of high grade Plexi-glass;
  • mounting the die-cut high bond foam gaskets using a special Jig.

 All that the customer had to do on receiving the product was clean the surface with our high bond surface cleaners and then apply the part using a custom jig as per application guidelines.

We are extremely proud of this innovation as we were instrumental throughout the whole research and development process, and in the end helped our customer fulfil their design objectives. 

Lighting Innovation - Application Solution

It is not uncommon for customers to ask about conversions on their products. From Velcro and Neoprene Foams to EPDM Rubber Seals and Gaskets, we have worked on developing customisations for many customers.

This moisture barrier EPDM foam gasket seal was developed by J.I.T. Industrial Products Ltd. for one of our lighting customers. The rubber seal is a critical component of the lamp - using this means the product can withstand harsh temperatures and environments. This allows the lamp to be used anywhere whilst protecting it from the elements.

Due to the pioneering design,  the lamp was a huge success and  was applauded in the lighting industry -our customers and the lamp itself even  won awards for this truly exciting innovation and for  the products usability.

 

For other similar applications involving these products or conversion methods, do not hesitate to contact us. 

Testimonial from a long-standing customer

After 25 years in the business, we have developed many long-term, loyal relationships with our customers and we take real pride in hearing the positive feedback that our customers give us.

 

"Congratulations on your 25th Anniversary! We have set you many challenges over these years and you have come out on top on most, if not all the challenges set.

As you, Barrie (Founder and Executive Chairman), and J.I.T. have matured in those years nothing is too much trouble, a factor which we value greatly.

JC Decaux Case study. How JIT helped JCD solve their bonding application problem.

In 2008, during Liverpool's reigning year as the European Capital of Culture, the Liverpool One shopping centre was opened to this public. Liverpool One has been credited with regenerating the centre of one of the biggest cities in the UK. The city is now one of the top 5 retail destinations in the UK. We have been lucky enough to become a part of this through our work with JC Decaux - the world's biggest outdoor advertising company.

JC Decaux approached us last year in order to solve an application problem concerning one of their digital advertising panels. They wanted an adhesive which was strong enough to bond granite onto stainless steel. Granite is a very heavy material, and so in order to withstand the weight of this material, varying temperatures and changeable weather conditions, our experts came up with a suitable application.

The company is still working on the implementation of the digital advertising panel, but we are very excited to be able to show you some of the work in progress.

 

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have similar bonding application needs.
