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.

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.
