The two new products are named DuploCOLL 28502 EC and DuploCOLL 28504 EC (Electrically Conductive).
They consist of a soft, electrically conductive foam and an acrylate adhesive that is also electrically conductive. The single-sided adhesive tapes are available in 2 and 4 mm thicknesses and are described as easy to die-cut and apply.
The foams are formulated so that the restoring force when the foam is compressed is so low that it can also be used on pressure-sensitive components without undesirable side effects.
The new adhesives are said to be useful in e-mobility, medical technology, printed electronics or smart homes.
They are part of the functional materials product range which perform functions beyond bonding for digitalisation and miniaturisation applications; for example, the adhesive solutions enable sealing, damping, blocking of visible light or electromagnetic shielding.
