Design and manufacture aesthetic, durable and efficient appliances with tapes and adhesives
The rapidly evolving consumer demands and stringent government regulations have caused an extraordinary shift in the appliance industry. As a result, manufacturers must come up with innovative solutions to stay competitive and satisfy customers’ needs. Tapes and adhesives are one such solution that appliance manufacturers are using to design and manufacture aesthetic, durable, and efficient appliances.
Why Use Tapes and Adhesives?
Tapes and adhesives offer several advantages over traditional mechanical fasteners such as bolts and screws. They provide immense flexibility in design and manufacturing, which not only improves the manufacturing processes but also leads to lightweight and efficient appliances. Tapes and adhesives offer high bond strength and durability, which also helps prevent rust and corrosion in appliances.
Advantages of Using Tapes and Adhesives in Appliance Manufacturing
Using tapes and adhesives in appliance manufacturing has several advantages. These include among others:
- Improved aesthetics: Tapes and adhesives offer clean lines and smooth surfaces, which can enhance the appearance of an appliance.
- Enhanced durability: Tapes and adhesives have high shock and vibration resistance which can prolong the life of an appliance.
- Reduction of manufacturing costs: Tapes and adhesives can reduce the time and costs associated with manufacturing appliances.
- Improved user experience: Tapes and adhesives can reduce the noise created by the appliance parts, thus providing a better user experience.
Frequent applications of tapes and adhesives in appliances
Tapes and adhesives are used to bond and solve problems such as appliance noise and vibration, door securing, HVAC insulation fixing, membrane switch bonding among many more. Here are some common applications for which we recommend tapes and adhesives.
- Attach glass and panels to frames
- Fixation of seals and gaskets
- Bonding of metal, plastic and wood parts
- Bonding of cover plates
- Sticking of logos, displays, covers and labels
- Structural and insulation joints
- Securing doors during assembly and shipping.
