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.

The Future of Cars: Seven Trends You Can’t Afford to Miss

What JBC Learned at Foam Expo 2018

JBC Technologies recently attended Foam Expo 2018, North America’s leading exhibition and conference for the technical foam industry. As an automotive die cutter, JBC learned important lessons in two major areas: vehicle light weighting, and sound deadening. Here's what we learned at Foam Expo.

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.
