 Drop impact resistance type

What is the PLENSETTM Drop impact resistance type?

Generally, epoxy resin has the property of being hard and brittle, which limits its use in applications requiring impact resistance and flexibility.
However, Ajinomoto Fine-Techno's PLENSETTM Drop impact resistance type is a product that significantly transforms these conventional properties of epoxy resins.
Developed using our proprietary advanced formulation technology, this adhesive combines low-temperature curability with flexibility as its core technology.
・With excellent flexibility, it can significantly improve stress relaxation and impact resistance.
Achieves flexible bonding while maintaining high strength.
・Provides highly reliable bonding that flexibly responds to dynamic loads such as bending and twisting.

Have you experienced these issues?

The adhesive area is so small that the adhesive part peels off or breaks during drop impact testing, etc.

Here is the product that resolves these issues.
PLENSETTM Drop impact resistance type

It can be cured at a low temperature of 80degC, unparalleled for a one-component epoxy resin.
Feature
#1
icon
Once cured, it gains a rubber-like elasticity, providing flexibility that is effective for stress alleviation as well as shock and vibration absorption.
Feature

Application

・Bonding of parts subject to impact and vibration
Ideal for bonding parts that are frequently subjected to physical shocks and vibrations.
It ensures reliability under harsh conditions such as smartphones requiring drop resistance and motors that generate vibrations, contributing to the long lifespan of components.
・Bonding of dissimilar materials and difficult-to-bond substrates
Suitable for bonding engineering plastics like LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) and PA9T (thermoplastic polyamide), as well as various metals such as gold and nickel, thus catering to a wide range of dissimilar and difficult-to-bond materials.
・Bonding and joining of flexible substrates and components like displays that require flexibility
Perfect for bonding and joining components like flexible substrates and displays that require flexibility to accommodate bending, twisting, and other dynamic movements.
・Bonding and sealing thin-film components without warping or deforming
With high flexibility and low-stress properties, it allows for bonding and sealing thin-film components without warping or deformation. This helps maintain the appearance quality and functionality of the product while enhancing reliability.
