You probably don’t give much thought to adhesive when designing an electronic device, aside from how well it will stick. But the truth is today’s adhesives are far more than just a simple bonding agent.
Adhesives are powerful multi-taskers that can play an important functional role in your device.
3M adhesives use powerful embedded technology that can make your product more flexible, functional, light-weight and durable. Choosing the right product can even drive your costs down.
When it comes to adhesive, 3M knows that first and foremost it does need to stick. This means choosing a product that will maintain its hold even when faced with treacherous environmental conditions, such as high heat.
3M engineers take adhesives even further, adding embedded technology to help these innovative-adhesives disperse heat, keeping your device cooler, which is critical for today’s smaller, more compact devices.
And it’s not just about heat, the right adhesive can also reduce drop stress and absorb vibration.
