We were recently approached by a leading medical equipment manufacturer to solve an application problem. The customer had designed a display enclosure which had a green LED backlight. Unfortunately, the green light was filtering through the box which was not aesthetically pleasing.

After discussions with our customer we discovered that their three main objectives were as follows:

1. Prevent LED light from flooding through enclosure
2. Prevent dust and draughts entering the product
3. Product must allow fascia to remove cleanly for maintenance purposes.

After careful consideration, J.I.T. advised the customer to use a particular foam tape to seal the enclosure and prevent the light from shining through. By preventing air and draughts from getting into the enclosure,  dust could not enter the product. The foam tape which was selected had a filmic layer on one side which meant that  the foam removed cleanly from the fascia for cleaning and maintenance purposes, thus fulfilling the third objective.

The photos below highlight the effectiveness of the recommended foam tape.

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.

One of our most interesting  innovative design solutions has to be our thermal management materials.

For example, one of our customers was facing a huge problem with their LED lighting products. As with many new products, as things get smaller they get hotter. Throughout the testing stages, these LED units were frequently overheating, a problem which had to be solved. Fortunately we had the solution with a range of modern day thermal management materials, as listed below. Our experts worked alongside our client's R&D team in order to find the most suitable solution for their application.

We have a wide range of solutions for thermal management including:

• the import and conversion of silicone base polymer with a working temperature of -60°C  to 200°C
• specialist graphite materials which can withstand temperatures ranging from -50°C to 500°C
• Ceramic-filled high-temperature silicone rubber on electric fibreglass (designed for situations where additional thickness is needed in order to prevent short circuiting)
• Solutions for aluminium heat sinks in power supplies
• casting in automotive motor controls.

The pictures below illustrate more clearly the types of thermal management solutions we provide.
