Can You Imagine... Everyone uses tape, from the office to the factory to your home and car. Tape is everywhere... Read More Creative Tape Solutions Increases Electronics Manufacturing Productivity Custom Polyimide Tape & Custom Potting Dam We recently engineered custom tape solutions that increased the manufacturing efficiency and product performance for multiple electronics manufacturers. Read More Tapeworks and Polyimide Film Insulator that Kept Folding Over An electronics circuit board manufacturer was experiencing a 25% yield loss during an operation as a result of using the wrong electrical insulation tape. Read More Tapeworks and the Epoxy that Ran All Over Everything A poorly designed epoxy curing process was causing low yield. The client was encapsulating small electronic chips to the surface of cards used for inventory control and detection. The chips were placed individually by hand. The epoxy, which reacts as a solvent to many materials, can reach a temperature of 225 deg. F upon curing. The epoxy required to encapsulate the chip was not viscous enough to maintain the coverage of the chip before it dried. This poor coverage caused poor reliability and low yield.

They were having difficulty developing a tight seal on a two part disc shaped box. They could not find a sealing solution that was conformable enough to wrap around the circumference of the disc shapes and extend over the top and bottom of the box to form a sealing ring Read More Tapeworks Becomes Approved 3M Converter Tapeworks, a national supplier of engineered tape solutions, recently announced it has become an authorized distributor and approved tape converter of 3M industrial adhesives and tapes.
