Heat Reactive Transfer Adhesive For Splicing, Bonding And Laminating

Date: 25/06/2008

Used on Silicon Chips, Woven Fabrics, Plasticized Materials and Gaskets

For general purpose bonding and electronic product assembly, Scapa North America offers Thermofilm(R) H212U, a heat reactive transfer adhesive that provides structural bond strength on a range of substrates including plastics, metals, ceramics, wood, paper and woven materials.

Thermofilm(R) H212U activates and cures on exposure to heat and pressure, and is formulated for splicing fiberglass cloth and other woven fabrics, gasket bonding, laminating to PVC and other plasticized materials, and silicon chip bonding on electronic assemblies. Once cured, this transfer adhesive offers excellent resistance to solvents, plasticizers and elevated temperatures. The adhesive's relatively low bonding temperature allows it to be used on temperature sensitive substrates and sensitive electronic devices.

For smart card manufacturing, Thermofilm(R) H212U permanently bonds smart card chips onto PVC, ABS, PVC/ABS blend, PC, PET-G, and PET-F card materials. The adhesive's soft bond minimizes chip damage over long-term card handling. Offering highly consistent performance, this transfer adhesive meets or exceeds ISO 7810 requirements and is compatible with all major card production equipment.

Thermofilm(R) H212U is a 2 mil thick nitrile phenolic thermosetting transfer adhesive that is supplied on a 65# temperature resistant kraft release liner.
