3M Adhesive VS Ordinary Adhesive, Which One Has Stronger Viscosity?


 


As we have introduced before, whether it is a membrane switch, membrane keypad, or membrane panel, the bottom layer is a adhesive layer. This layer of adhesive will directly contact the product. Therefore, the quality of the adhesive also determines the quality of the membrane switch, panel, and keypad, as well as the quality of the product. This shows how important a high-quality adhesive is.

A high-quality adhesive needs to have a strong viscosity, so that the membrane panel switch can be attached to the product for a long time to ensure its service life. Today, we will show you the difference in viscosity between ordinary adhesive and high-quality adhesive.

 

Let’s take out the membrane panel with ordinary adhesive.



Peel off the release paper and then we put it on the tilt table.

 

 

Take out a small steel ball and drop it from the highest point.



Unfortunately, the ball failed to stop on the adhesive, but rolled directly outside the stage. The ball is not even affected by the adhesive at all.


 


The next one is the genuine original 3M adhesive used by JRPanel, the type is 300LSE.

 

 

Like before, put it on the tilt table and drop the ball from the highest position.

 


Now you see the ball has been stopped by the adhesive due to its strong viscosity.


 

Through this comparative experiment, we can find that the adhesive properties of different brands vary greatly. If you want to feel the difference more intuitively, please watch this video:3M Adhesive VS Ordinary Adhesive

 

JRPanel has always used imported 3M genuine adhesives to ensure the high quality of your products.

Brief Introduction to Flat Spiral Coil Inductors

  Hi guys! Today JRPanel would like to share a few points about Flat Spiral Coil  Inductors  with you. Basically, a flat coil inductor is an inductor wound with flat copper wire.  The picture below is the side view, we can see that each circle of copper wire is arranged very compact. Here are some of the application characteristics of flat coils : 1.  High current inductance 2.  Lowest DC resistance           3.  Can ensure smooth drop of current-resistant inductance 4.  Suitable for reflow SMT process 5.  Lead-free, RoHS compliant This pciture shows a flat coil product.  It is generally used in power supplies, personal computers and other handheld  electronic devices . Advantages of  F lat  C oil  I nductors are : 1.  Scientific and reasonable space design. 2.  Tight and flat between turns ensures the effective cross-sectional area of the wire, which greatly reduces the copper loss ...

Tactile and Non-Tactile membrane switches

Tactile and Non-Tactile membrane switches JRPanel         Erin KOU      JAN 14, 2020 The most economical and reliable design is the non-tactile membrane switch . Non- tactile membrane switch is flat and has no tactile feedback.  However, this design relies on other methods of identifying a feedback or that a connection is made.  These include indicator LEDs (visual), LCD screen (visual), or a sound(audible). In other words, an LED light can blink or a beeping sound can be heard when a button is pressed. This type of non-tactile membrane switch has the longest life cycle and reliability. The other type of membrane switch is the tactile membrane switch. Tactile membrane switch is very popular because it provides a direct feedback to users that a connection is made.  One way to design a tactile membrane switch is to dome emboss the keys on the graphic overlay. Although it is a little bit more cost that...

The Difference Between PVC, PC and PET in Membrane Switch Applications

  In membrane switch fileds, there are 3 main materials being used in production, PVC, PC and PET. To help you choose the proper material for your product, we would like to introduce you the difference between PVC, PC and PET in membrane switch applications.   1. PVC    PVC  is also called polyvinyl chloride membrane, the full name is Polyvinylchlorid membrane. The top layer of this structure is lacquer, the middle is polyvinyl chloride, and the bottom layer is back-coated adhesive. The price of PVC membrane is low, and it has excellent chemical resistance and insulation function. It is used in sign panels, but not suitable for membrane switches and light touch panels. The global usage of PVC membrane ranks second among various synthetic materials.   2. PC    PC is also called polycarbonate membrane, the thinnest is 0.01mm thick, amorphous, odorless, non-toxic, high transparency and low fogging. Chemical resistance: Dilute acid...
