Multi-Seals claims that its flexible preform adhesive meets the International Electrochemical Commission's halogen-free requirements (IEC 61249-2-21). The F08 Poly-form supports electronics manufacturing efforts to reduce chlorine and bromine levels in component assemblies to address environmental concerns about potentially hazardous halogens. The new flexible pre-shaped adhesives are designed for bonding diverse materials, including metals, plastics and glass. The pre-shaped copolymer prevents drips and dispensing inconsistencies typical of liquid adhesives. Adhesive placement is highly consistent from bond to bond. The durability and flexibility of the adhesives facilitates manual and automated handling and increases production rates. The adhesives can be pre-shaped in multiform configurations to accommodate a range of applications.
