Simple Battery Pack Assembly & Robust, Efficient Batteries with Norseal® PF Compression PadsThe electric vehicle (EV) revolution continues unabated. In 2008, there were fewer than 500 EV charging stations in the United States; as of last year, there are over 47,000. As recently as 10 years ago, North American...
Electrical Insulation: Industry DemandsMarket Trends, Manufacturing Challenges and High-Performance Products Demand for high-performance electrical insulation tapes is fueled by industrial needs. Aging electrical infrastructure, increased energy demands, modernization of the electricity grid, electric vehicle sales, an increased demand for higher efficiency electric motors and the scaling of electric charging stations...
Personalized Tape Designs Spark Innovation & EfficiencyIndustrial tapes come in seemingly infinite permutations, all differing in adhesive type, backing materials, dimensions, physical properties and intended applications. Given the number of tapes on the market today, it’s not unreasonable to think that an off-the-shelf tape is suitable for a manufacturing...
Accelerating Automotive Assembly with Norbond® Foam Bonding TapesPermanently bonded assemblies in automotive exterior applications—such as emblems and decals, wheel weights and body side molding—require a high-performance, durable and reliable attachment technology amenable to high-speed automotive manufacturing processes. While alternative joining methods are available, such as mechanical fastening and liquid...
Safe & Secure: How Glass Reliably Adheres to SkyscrapersSpacer tape, a key component in structural silicone glazing systems, maintains a uniform distance between the glazing panel and the structure and provides a locating surface for the silicone structural sealant. As the industry standard, Thermalbond® is the premium structural glazing spacer tape...
The Foams that are Driving EV Battery InnovationThe vast majority of vehicles on the road today are powered by traditional fuels, but make no mistake, electric vehicles (EVs) are making serious inroads. In 2018, 2 million EVs were sold globally according to Forbes, up by 400% compared to 2015....
Internal 90 degree peel adhesion testing on Saint-Gobain Norbond A7300 Acrylic Tape, V2845 Polyurethane Tape and T333 Polyethylene Tape. Peel performance can often be an indicator of ability to stay attached while parts expand away from each other. Results show acrylic tapes are best or longer parts, followed by...
