Adhesive Films and Tapes Positioned for Growth; Technology Assessment Associates Sees Strong Demand in Automotive, Aerospace and Electronics Markets.Business/Technology Editors AMHERST, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 21, 2001 Recent advances in adhesives technology are creating new opportunities for adhesive films and tapes in a number of industrial applications. These adhesive products are finding new and growing interest in automotive, aerospace, and electronics markets. Films and tapes with enhanced performance are reaching the market as several important developments are occurring which will spur new demand. In the automotive industry The automotive industry is the industry involved in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles. In 2006, more than 69 million motor vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles were produced worldwide. , the drive to reduce car weight and vibration has renewed interest in film and tape adhesives. New vehicle designs using lighter gauge metals, coated steels, plastics, and nonferrous non·fer·rous adj. 1. Not composed of or containing iron. 2. Of or relating to metals other than iron. nonferrous Adjective 1. metals are creating new joining and assembly requirements for which films and tapes offer a solution. Demand is increasing in applications ranging from tacking The process whereby an individual who is in Adverse Possession of real property adds his or her period of possession to that of a prior adverse possessor. In order for title to property to vest in an adverse possessor, occupancy must be continuous, regular, and and gasketing to repairing panel assemblies. Aerospace applications for tapes and films include joints involving advanced composites and metals, bonded laminated laminated /lam·i·nat·ed/ (-nat?ed) having, composed of, or arranged in layers or laminae. laminated made up of laminae or thin layers. sheet metal sections, and laminated combinations of sheet metals and high-modulus composites. Heat activated adhesive films are gaining widespread use in the aircraft industry. Their use in bonding aluminum skins to aircraft, missiles and space vehicles continues to increase. The uniformity and thorough coverage of adhesive films have led to intense interest in the microelectronics industry. Promising growth potential for films exists in electronics applications ranging from device manufacture and assembly to fabricating circuit boards. Conductive conductive having the quality of readily conducting electric current. conductive flooring flooring or floor covering made specially conductive to electrical current, usually by the inclusion of copper wiring that is earthed tapes which conduct in only one axis are receiving strong interest for EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) An electrical disturbance in a system due to natural phenomena, low-frequency waves from electromechanical devices or high-frequency waves (RFI) from chips and other electronic devices. Allowable limits are governed by the FCC. applications, joining flexible circuits, and mounting components.
