Now you can quickly create customized parts while minimizing process waste. Utilizing additive manufacturing through screen printing allows you to print adhesive in very precise details like fine lines and small holes without the need to die-cut parts and extract unneeded waste. Once the adhesive is cured, a liner can be placed to protect the cured Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) until it’s ready for use.
Use existing screen printing and UV curing equipment to get started with 3M™ Screen Printable Pressure Sensitive Adhesive SP7202. This product is 100% solids and prints directly onto parts. Because this product utilizes UV curing technology, it allows longer open times in the screen while printing and shorter time to cure to create a functional part. Cleanup is quick and easy.
