Display Enhancement and Protection
All our screen protectors have excellent anti-scratch properties with a proprietary hard-coating ideal for the aftercare market including optically clear, anti-glare and anti-fingerprint. A specially formulated high-grade silicone adhesive is used to give optimum clarity and clean removal, leaving no residue behind after prolonged usage. Our clear protection films work very effectively on both capacitive and resistive touchscreens and are quick and easy to apply.

Surface Protection
We support our clients with specialist protection requirements, including highly sensitive electronic applications, protection of sensitive paint finishes, chromed plastics, UV resistance, and high temperature removal.
Permanent surface protection materials are manufactured from proprietary PU films and have ultra-clear adhesives to provide superior stone chip and abrasion resistance for many applications including wind turbine blades and specialist vehicles.

EMI/EMC
Our shielding foil tapes can include multiple layers with insulating, light shielding and heat spreading capabilities.
Shielding fabrics are more conformable when compared to foil tapes and have higher resistance to tearing. We can also include cover films for improved handling, tear and puncture resistance.
EMI conductive elastomer foams offer outstanding gap-filling, low compressive force and low compression set whilst providing excellent conductivity in the XYZ direction. These can be used to ground electronic devices and flat panel displays as well as providing a mechanical cushion to protect devices from shock and vibration.

Cushioning Foams
We work with global leaders in foam technology and offer an extensive range of densities, cell structures, composites, compression rates, conductivities and absorption rates for cushioning requirements.
Case study in action
Die-Cut Shot-Blast Masking Solution for aerospace components
challenge
Replace a major aerospace manufacturer's inconsistent and inefficient manual masking process with a robust, professionally specified solution to prevent weld damage during shot-blasting.
solution
We developed a solution by analysing the customer's specific shot-blasting requirements to specify 22-CR05, a heavy-duty masking tape designed for high abrasion resistance and residue-free removal. Our engineers then designed a series of custom die-cut components supplied in a kit format with an application map to ensure consistent weld protection and improved operator efficiency.
outcome
Enhanced shot-blast consistency and product quality while driving significant cost savings through improved process efficiency and reduced rework.
