The original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that represent e2ip’s customer base create a wide range of products, each with varying applications. Regardless of their application, each requires a reliable user interface.
However, through e2ip’s pioneering industrial adhesive solutions, manufacturers can overcome these hurdles, crafting products that blend quality and innovation, and consistently exceed expectations.
At e2ip, we specialize in adhesive solutions that create robust user interfaces for diverse applications. Through rigorous material testing, our team tailors pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) and electrically conductive adhesives to ensure secure bonds, reliable performance, and seamless integration into any product design.
Our expertise working with a variety of industrial adhesives for use in HMI assembly applications (such as pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) and electrically conductive adhesives) has led to the development of our own proprietary adhesive solution: HeatSeal™. This innovative solution provides OEMs with the perfect adhesive to achieve a high-strength, long-lasting bond with sufficient flex while still meeting the sealing requirements their user interfaces require.
HeatSeal® is a proprietary fabrication process for superior product lamination used to enhance the build quality and performance of a number of user interfaces.
Thanks to low melt-point adhesive bonding technology, HeatSeal™ creates industrially-sound membrane switches and circuit layer assemblies for a wide range of applications, budgets and robustness requirements.
Using innovative and environmentally-friendly production processes, HeatSeal™ protects circuits from harsh environments, effectively eliminating mechanical failure from inadequate sealing.
Due to how rigorously it is tested, HeatSeal™ also provides solutions for custom projects that require a smart and secure, yet cost-effective bonding system. The versatility of HeatSeal™ opens up an array of options to support various building and functional requirements.
HeatSeal® makes it possible to create custom HMI solutions containing a smarter and safer bonding system solution that remains cost-effective and offers a wide range of options for build and function support.
Another bonding system offered within our selection of versatile adhesive solutions is the Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA).
PSAs are pressure-enabled bonding substrates that do not require heat, water or any type of solvent to activate the structural adhesive properties. In the manufacturing process of HMIs, PSAs are used to fuse the layers of an HMI assembly using solder-free, electrically conductive adhesives. They help achieve solid material bonding, while still allowing contact surfaces to pass electrical currents.
Conventional pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are versatile and widely used in membrane switch designs across various industries. However, they fall short when it comes to resisting environmental factors such as water, moisture, and chemical ingress.
HeatSeal™ stands out as the most reliable and robust switch lamination alternative for printed electronics available today. It offers a 100% HeatSeal™ bonding system solution, ensuring superior durability and performance in challenging conditions.
Using multiple HeatSeal™ layers during the construction of membrane switches establishes a remarkably strong and durable bond. This bonding system undergoes rigorous testing in the most challenging conditions, earning certification and a guarantee to safeguard circuitry from potential damage caused by the harshest environmental factors. The integrated temperature resistance ensures the protection remains effective even in extreme conditions.
As a fully integrated system, HeatSeal™ offers unmatched flexibility with various thicknesses for bonding diverse plastics. It’s rigorously tested for salt fog resistance, moisture migration protection, and crack resistance, effectively shielding circuits from environmental hazards. This comprehensive performance positions HeatSeal™ among today’s most advanced industrial adhesive solutions.
