One of our most interesting  innovative design solutions has to be our thermal management materials.

For example, one of our customers was facing a huge problem with their LED lighting products. As with many new products, as things get smaller they get hotter. Throughout the testing stages, these LED units were frequently overheating, a problem which had to be solved. Fortunately we had the solution with a range of modern day thermal management materials, as listed below. Our experts worked alongside our client's R&D team in order to find the most suitable solution for their application.

We have a wide range of solutions for thermal management including:

  • the import and conversion of silicone base polymer with a working temperature of -60°C  to 200°C
  • specialist graphite materials which can withstand temperatures ranging from -50°C to 500°C
  • Ceramic-filled high-temperature silicone rubber on electric fibreglass (designed for situations where additional thickness is needed in order to prevent short circuiting)
  • Solutions for aluminium heat sinks in power supplies
  • casting in automotive motor controls.

The pictures below illustrate more clearly the types of thermal management solutions we provide.thermal_per_img.pngflex_elec_img.png

Self Adhesive Magnetic Tape

Have you ever noticed signage or promotional material in a supermarket on a metal surface? Applications of magnetic tape such as this are often overlooked in our day to day lives.

Magnetic tape does what you would assume - it offers an adhesive free, reliable magnetic bond in order to affix your chosen product to metal. As you can guess, it is residue free and will leave no traces once it has been removed. You can also purchase magnetic tape which has a foam backing. This allows you to affix your product/promotion/sign etc to a more uneven surface with ease.

As previously mentioned, magnetic tape is an excellent and valued tool - your signage can be displayed, removed and moved elsewhere in accordance with your preference. It has also been used in industrial applications such as affixing temporary protective sheeting to oil rig frames and steel bridges allowing shelter during painting operations. Please don't hesitate to contact us to find our more information about our magnetic tapes for your application needs.

Here at J.I.T. Industrial Products, we also offer a range of packaging products that are usable, reliable and of a high quality such as stretch wrap, carton sealing tapes, printed tape and water activated reinforced gum paper tape. Once activated, the adhesive of the tape penetrates the surface of cartons and boxes in order to provide a very secure and strong bond.

In this company, we believe the best value for money and not just unit cost per roll. The performance of the product and the yield can far outweigh the cheapest product. More and more companies have decided to approach packaging with this outlook, and manufacturers are producing innovative solutions and better engineered products to reduce consumption, waste, landfill while meeting new environmental and waste regulation objectives.

In light of the above, there are countless benefits of using water activated reinforced gum paper tape. The table below details some of them.

What is Splicing? High Temperature Splicing Tapes

Put simply, splicing involves joining two or more pieces of linear materials e.g. to splice paper, you stick the edge of one sheet to the edge of another.  Of course, in industry, it is more technical that that. Here at J.I.T. Industrial Products Ltd. we offer a wide range of splicing tapes such as single and double sided tapes to join papers, films, cards, foils, fabrics and textiles. If your manufacturing process needs to join the end of one roll to the next, chances are you are using splicing tape. Our splicing tapes are used in industries from specialist fabrics and textiles to label manufacturing, in applications where high temperatures can have an effect on the performance of the tape, and many other scenarios.

In modern day manufacturing processes,  you must use the correct splicing tape in order to combat temperature and chemical resistance. For example you may need to use high temperature splicing tape capable of withstanding up to 200°C. If you are not using the correct tape then you may experience problems down the line. In order to ensure you are using the correct tape, our specialists work alongside you to find the tape best suited to your applications.
