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.

If you have any similar application needs then do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your options.
