Fabrication & Secondary Operations Foam PSA

thermoprene — Fri, 08 May 2015 19:21:02 +0000

One of the most common applications for extrusion is in-line adhesive and and cutting to length. Foam adhesive systems help build-up material size if needed and allow adhesives to conform to uneven surfaces. From inexpensive rubber and hot melt systems, to the most advanced acrylic engineering grade systems and heat activated systems, Thermoprene can meet the specifications of most any design. Many adhesive systems can be applied in line with the extrusion material. Some materials however, need to cure for 24 hours or more before adhesives can be applied. We have secondary processing and winding equipment, and make use of primers and other accessories when required. Thermoprene has the capabilities to help you with all your Fabrication projects.

Fabrication Die Cut

thermoprene — Fri, 08 May 2015 18:25:24 +0000

Thermoprene produces die cut parts from flexible and rigid materials, including rubber, Silicone, TPE, TPR, Vinyl, Rigid PVC, ABS and more. We can handle short run custom and prototyping as well as high-speed automated applications. Laminations of different substrates and adhesive applications are common. Kiss cutting and tabbing are common techniques used in producing die cut parts with pressure sensitive adhesive systems.

Fabrication Assembled

The control panel cover shown in the attached photo is produced in many configurations for custom electronics manufacturing. The basic extrusion is the same for all parts, but various windows are machined in the face to accept toggle switches, fasteners, numerical displays, gauges and snap in bezels. The parts are machined to length for a close tolerance fit and squareness. Each part is assembled with threaded inserts in each screw boss for rapid assembly at the final destination. As with enclosures, this type of extrusion application affords the design team flexibility in terms of size, color and electronics configuration. Extrusion lends itself well to producing these type of machining blanks, where low start up and tooling costs, and shorter lead times, are big advantage over injection molding. Thermoprene is confident they can help you in any of your Fabrication needs.

Fabrication Machined

thermoprene — Fri, 08 May 2015 18:22:05 +0000

Many parts produced by other means such as casting, investment casting, forging, impact extrusion, stamping, etc. can be originally conceived or converted to extrusion. This part is a perfect example of a component originally designed for fabrication. This profile is a combination of a channel and tube extruded together. The tube section interfaces with a splinted shaft and mounts to a large flange assembly through the channel section. Even at fairly large volume, the blanks produced by aluminum extrusion and cut to length, are less expensive than could be produced by another means. The profile surfaces are all ready for installation, and any of the drilling, radii and tumbling are need for secondary work. Thermoprene is confident they can help you in any of your Fabrication needs.

Die Cut & PSA Fabrication

thermoprene — Fri, 08 May 2015 18:19:36 +0000

Many of our extruded parts go through multiple secondary operations before they are ready for shipment to our customers and final assembly. This particular part has three die cut features, although it is only hit twice. Once to shorten the bulb section of the extrusion profile, and then once to create the end radii and slot. Pressure sensitive adhesive is applied after the die cutting. This part is produced from EPDM rubber. Thermoprene has the capabilities to help you with all your Fabrication projects.

Sponge with PSA Fabrication

thermoprene — Fri, 08 May 2015 18:15:51 +0000

Sponge rubber is commonly used in die cut applications in the manufacture of non-slip pads, feet, and gasketing applications. Many gaskets and other sponge rubber items are produced with pressure sensitive adhesive systems (PSA), and may be put up in sheets, rolls or individual peel and stick units for inclusion to the end user. Most materials are closed cell, meaning that their cell structure is complete and each cell is isolated. This prevents absorption of water and also gives the material better physical properties for most applications. EPDM and Neoprene are most common, but various forms of polyethylene foams are also available. Open cell materials can be used for absorbent and filtering applications. Polyurethane is most common and is available in fine and coarse cell structures for different applications. Thermoprene is confident they can help you in any of your Fabrication needs.

Powder Coat & Assembled

thermoprene — Fri, 08 May 2015 18:12:50 +0000

Finishing is an important step with any item. Many extrusions are shipped cut to length at the press, tempered and shipped “as extruded” or “mill finish”. Most plastic parts are colored, but decorating and mylar wrapping are also common. This item is powder coated and stainless rod inserts are press fit for final assembly. Polyester powder coating is one of the most durable finishes available for outdoor exposure and rough handling. Our state of the art finishing capabilities insure high quality and economical finishing for your components. Thermoprene has the capabilities to help you with all your Fabrication projects.
