Applications

Tough Environments

Many products manufactured today are expected to perform for extended periods of time in harsh environments.  To meet these demands, engineers and designers need adhesives that can withstand extreme temperatures, moisture, salt spray, chemicals, and solvents or UV radiation.  Advanced Converting offers many products that succeed in these applications.  Contact us for assistance in specifying a solution.

Challenging Requirements

For any application: bonding, sealing, masking, EMI/RFI shielding, labeling, or friction control, Advanced  Converting helps select the best performing materials and often tests products to meet or exceed application parameters.  Peel strength tests to various substrates, temperature, and fuel resistance tests, thermal and abrasion durability profile tests, and impact/weight evaluations are all done in house. Advanced Converting helps make difficult assembly easier through thoughtful part design that takes into consideration component application methods and where applicable; sub-assembly of components using Nautilus dispense/apply equipment.  If you have a challenging application, we have the capabilities and experience to provide solutions. Contact us today.

Tight Tolerances

As many products, electronics, in particular, continue to get smaller, manufacturers are requiring components with tighter tolerances.  At Advanced Converting we use state of the art equipment and precision machined dies to produce parts with tolerances as tight as +/- .005" or less depending on the material.  Our staff is experienced in tool design and product specifications to meet these tight tolerance requirements.  Call us to discuss your part’s tolerance requirements.
 

Bonding

Mating two or more substrates together is a common application that manufacturers have needed to solve for many years.  Mechanical fasteners such as rivets and nuts and bolts used to be the go-to solution.  Today, conformable foam tapes and adhesive transfer tapes are replacing mechanical fasteners due to advantages created by their viscoelasticity.  Advanced Converting can die-cut these tapes to fit virtually any size or shape.  To learn more about the advantages of adhesive tapes in bonding applications, please contact our design experts to discuss your specific application.

Cushioning / Damping

Advanced Converting fabricates many different types of foam to be used as cushions to protect products during shipping. We can also add adhesive to these foams for securing the cushions in place. Hand held devices also contain urethane or silicone foam pads internally to absorb impact if dropped. Contact us for design assistance with your next vibration or shock absorption application.

Masking / Protecting

Adhesive backed paper and film tapes are great for masking areas that need to be protected during painting, plating or wave soldering processes.  Polished metal finishes, painted surfaces, and glass LED screens all can be protected with custom die-cut film tapes.  Advanced Converting supplies masking materials with low tack adhesives for easy and clean removal in both standard and custom sizes.  Materials are available in slit rolls and die-cut shapes.  Learn more about our masking and protection products by contacting us today.

Thermal Management

Advanced Converting converts high-performance thermal management materials for a variety of applications.   Dissipating heat away from sensitive electronic components usually requires a heat sink.  Advanced Converting fabricates thermally conductive adhesives to go between the heat sink and the component.  We fabricate thermal management materials from industry-leading suppliers like 3M, St. Gobain and Polyonics.  Contact us for a material sample or quote.

Filtering

Advanced Converting supplies filter media for both air and liquid applications.  Foam, fiberglass and synthetic materials of varying densities and thicknesses can be converted to custom shapes or sizes per customer requirements.  Learn more about filter materials available from Advanced Converting by contacting us today.

Labeling

Virtually every product produced or shipped requires some sort of labeling.  Durable bar code labels, security labels, tamper evident labels, shipping labels, blank thermal transfer labels that can be printed by the end user or custom multi-colored finished labels are just some of the label types available from Advanced Converting.  To learn more, please contact one of our label specialists to discuss your label requirements.

EMI / RFI Shielding

Protecting sensitive electronic components from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) requires materials to block or absorb dangerous waves.  Advanced Converting die-cuts elastomers, conductive foams, adhesives, and foils to be used in these types of applications.  If you are designing or manufacturing an electronic device that requires EMI or RFI protection, please contact us for assistance.

Sealing / Gasketing

In most sealing applications a gasket must seal the gap between two imperfect surfaces.  Creating a seal between these two surfaces requires a material that can be compressed and usually must withstand pressure, varying temperatures and/or UV radiation.  Advanced Converting die-cuts many different materials such as rubber, cork, and composites to be utilized in sealing or gasketing applications.  Please contact us to discuss the parameters of your next sealing application.
