Adhesive carrier and protection films for advanced manufacturing

Advanced production processes require protection of sensitive surfaces and materials, while other processes require the fixation of parts or stretchable substrates for efficient processing. The challenge is to find the best possible combination of base film and adhesive for a given material combination and environmental condition. After processing, the film must be released without adhesive residue to prevent unnecessary process steps. In cooperation with our customers, we developed a wide range of different solutions with variable adhesive strength, that when combined with specific base films, allows to extend the application and temperature range. Our presentation will focus on typical examples as well as on some special use cases, that are currently under development for areas such as: Printed electronics, sensors, batteries, displays and micro LED’s.
