ITW Formex® Materials: Properties, Processing, Products, and Applications

ITW Formex materials are flame retardant, electrically insulating, and chemically resistant. They're used in 3D printers, HVAC, electronics, automotive, and LED lighting. JBC Technologies can source, laminate, and die cut ITW Formex materials. Lamination can provide EMI shielding and dissipate ESD.

Thermal Interface Materials: Graphite Gaskets

Graphite gaskets are thermal interface materials (TIMs) that are used in computers, lighting, power electronics and other systems that generate excess heat. They create a thermal path from a heat-generating component to a heat sink. Learn more about die cut graphite gaskets from JBC Technologies.

Slug Removal for Die Cutting: How In-Line De-Slugging Adds Value

Slug removal or de-slugging removes the cut-outs from die-cut shapes. Manual slug removal adds labor costs, extends project timelines, and can cause quality control issues. In-line slug removal for die-cutting promotes efficiency and adds value. Learn more about de-slugging from JBC Technologies.

Die Cut Nitto Denko Foams for Automotive Gaskets

Die cut Nitto Denko foams for automotive gaskets provide environmental sealing, sound deadening, shock absorption, and vibration dampening. JBC Technologies sources automotive foams from Nitto Denko Corporation and can die cut automotive gaskets to specific shapes, sizes, and geometries.

Flame Retardant Automotive Foams

Flame retardant automotive foams resist burning so that a vehicle’s occupants have time to escape in the event of a fire. Some automotive foams are inherently fire-resistant, but others are treated with flame retardants. Standards for flame retardancy vary and include FMVSS 302 and UL94V-0.

Automotive Foams: Make the Right Choice for Your Die-Cut Parts

Automotive foams provide environmental sealing, sound deadening, shock absorption, and vibration dampening. They are die cut into specific shapes and sizes.
