Virtually every medical device is exposed to liquids during cleaning. First responder equipment must also be able to withstand environmental conditions. 3M has a unique set of solutions that can help enable you to produce parts that pass IP qualification tests.
3M™ VHB™ Tapes 3M™ VHB™ Tapes resist high temperatures, cold, temperature cycling, UV light, moisture and solvents to seal and protect against environmental conditions.
Clean Seal Tapes 3M™ Clean Seal Tapes are ideal for the demanding requirements of hard disk drive and related electronics manufacturing. These innovative tapes provide exceptionally low out gassing, a high level of permanence and yet are cleanly removable from most substrates.
Form-in-Place Gasket 3M™ Form-in-Place Gasket FIPG 7103 B/A is a breakthrough, two-part system, ideal for sealing sensitive electronics boxes. This epoxy-based, silicone-free, elastomer material is designed for use on the device shell, serving as both a reusable gasket and contamination barrier. Provides excellent vibration and acoustic damping.
Membrane Switch Adhesives 3M™ Membrane Switch Adhesives are strong adhesives for long lasting switch performance. 3M has designed a line of membrane switch products that will prevail against the test of time, withstand stress of actuations and stay strong in a variety of environments and the life of the switch.
Protective Tapes Get reliable temporary short protection against scratching, marring, chipping and abrasion. These polyethylene tapes adhere and conform to protect product surfaces during production, packaging, shipping and installation. Tack level varies depending on surface it needs to adhere to, including mirror-finish stainless, anodized aluminum, glass, equipment panels and screens. All remove cleanly once the product is in the hands of the end user.
Note
3M adhesives, tapes, and fasteners are not intended for use in implantable devices or applications where the 3M product will be in contact with fluids being introduced into the body or where respirable air/gas will pass over the exposed 3M product.
