Seminar on Adhesive Sheet Technology

The upcoming seminar hosted by Nihon IR aims to present a thorough exploration of adhesive sheet technology that merges chemistry and structural design principles. This event is tailored for both manufacturers and users, providing insights from various perspectives. Participants will gain knowledge on evaluation criteria, testing methods, and essential considerations for selecting and utilizing adhesive materials effectively.

Importance of Adhesive Sheets

Adhesive sheets are crucial in many industries such as electronics, automotive, medical, construction, and agriculture due to their versatility. They are widely utilized for applications such as waterproofing, corrosion prevention, temporary fixing, and surface protection. However, the diverse requirements across different applications make material selection and evaluation increasingly challenging. Discrepancies often arise between manufacturers' specifications and the practical evaluation criteria of end users, making it essential to align expectations and develop effective improvement cycles.

Course Content

Adhesive sheets' ease of use and versatility have led to their adoption across various sectors. Understanding the functional and property differences according to specific applications is vital for accurate evaluation and selection. This seminar will focus on the fundamentals of adhesive technology, emphasizing the integration of chemistry and structural design, examining evaluation methods from both manufacturer and user perspectives.

Topics to be Covered:

1. Basic Composition and Processing of Adhesive Sheets
- Structure of double-sided tapes (double release, single release) and single-sided tapes
- Adhesion mechanisms (intermolecular forces, anchoring effects), forms of adhesive application (solvent-based, emulsion-based, solid-based, hot melt, monomer syrup)
- Differences between adhesives and fundamental processing in the supply chain

2. Characteristics of Various Adhesive Sheets
- Base materials (composition, thickness, performance), adhesive layers (rubber, acrylic, silicone, polyurethane)
- Layer structure and correlation with cost and quality, examples of selection (waterproof tapes)

3. Evaluation Methods from the Manufacturer's Viewpoint
- JIS Z0237 (2009) adhesive tape testing methods
- Peel tests, shear strength, tack, elongation/tensile, constant load retention, and more

4. User-centric Selection Factors
- Differences in perspective compared to manufacturers’ evaluations
- Essential performance criteria in practical applications (adhesion strength, optical spectrum, gap/curve following, waterproofing, repairability, temperature resilience, long-term weather testing)

5. Manufacturer Showcases and Their Specializations
- Kawamura Industries Co., Ltd: Clean coating processing, plasma surface treatment, slitting processing, vacuum thermal press processing, film sheet processing
- DIC Corporation: Business domains, R&D strengths, joint development of waterproof tapes (PE foam of #84 series), easy disassembly solutions (DSA series)
- Kougiken Chemical Co., Ltd: Joint development of waterproof tapes (300Z molecular gradient membrane), solvent-free high transparency making gel
- Somar Co., Ltd: Strengths of being both a manufacturer and trading company, various re-peelable tapes (Somatack), high-temperature UV release type, high-temperature re-peelable, high-temperature static prevention, and permanent bonding films

Target Audience

This seminar is designed for:

• - Mechanical and hardware designers
• - Young professionals involved in adhesive sheet development
• - Engineers focused on product selection and evaluation (quality assurance, production technology, purchasing)
• - Practitioners handling adhesive sheets in waterproofing, corrosion prevention, and surface protection
