Ferro’s R&D teams innovate to meet customer requirements
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INQUIRY. OUR TEAM WILL BE CONTACTING YOU SHORTLY.
FERRO CONDUCTIVE GLUE ACCELERATES PRODUCTION PROCESSES
It all began with the inquiry of a customer of Ferro’s Electronic Materials business. The customer had used an existing product, a two-component adhesive used in bank card manufacturing to electrically connect the card chip to the embedded antenna used to communicate financial transactions. However, a 24- hour cure time of the adhesive limited the customer´s production throughput. Our challenge was to find a faster-cure alternative product.
After having received a functional requirement from the customer, Ferro’s R&D teams in the U.S. and Germany innovated a new product with enhanced properties. A novel Conductive Glue, a one-component adhesive, now provides cure time of 8 seconds versus 24 hours for the predecessor product.
Next up? Ferro is sampling variations of the conductive glue product for embedded antennas in other applications, such as cell phone cases.
