UV inkjet printers are expanding outside of standard sign and display applications and shifting to more industrial flatbed printing applications, including membrane switch overlays. The high print speeds and high quality production capacity of UV inkjet are allowing printers to produce membrane switch overlays faster and more economically than traditional screen printing.
One of the most difficult overlay applications to successfully create is an outdoor overlay with a window. There are many different criteria that the overlay must meet. First, it must be weatherable. It needs to last a certain amount of years outdoors (per the specifications of the application) without the substrate yellowing while also protecting against UV light so the second surface inks do not fade. The film must be able to be clear or textured per the required look of the overlay. And lastly, the window needs to be clear enough to be able to read the
Most grocery and convenience stores use door heaters to reduce the condensation that occurs when the freezer door is opened. While this does prevent some fogging for better customer visibility, it is also expensive in terms of energy consumption and time it takes to install the heaters. Lexan's High Performance Freezer Door Film (HPFDF) resolves these issues and provides additional benefits.
3M™ Laminating Adhesive 360 products are the perfect solution for all of your electronics and appliance bonding needs. Besides being able to provide a strong bond between virtually (both low and high surface energy) substrates, 3M™ Laminating Adhesive 360 provides stronger bonds using less adhesive resulting in smoother bond lines.
Polycarbonate has become an increasingly attractive alternative for thermoformers looking to achieve steam or dry heat sterilization for medical packaging applications. Lexan’s 8040 polycarbonate film provides the physical properties and performance necessary to meet sterile medical packaging requirements. This film surpassed typical medical packaging materials, such as copolyester, when specific properties like tensile strength and elasticity were tested. Exceptional durability and dimensional stability make the 8040 the ideal choice for protecting the most intricate of a
