Q) What is the most highly recommended rear adhesive for your membrane switches?
A) In the majority of cases our membrane switches have 3M 467MP pressure sensitive adhesive as the rear adhesive layer. If your membrane switch is adhering to a much rougher surface we recommend 3M 468MP.
Q) Are there other adhesives available for specialty or extremely price sensitive applications?
A) There are many different adhesives designed for specialty applications. Our experienced design engineers will recommend the best adhesive option for your application.
Q) What is the ideal application technique?
A) Bond strength is dependent on the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact developed. Firm application pressure develops better adhesive contact and thus improves bond strength. To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean and dry. If alignment is a problem, we recommend beginning in the top corner and stick down a small amount of adhesive then remove the rest of the liner and work your way down applying pressure. This adhesive will take approximately 72 hours to fully cure from the time of initial bond.
