FAQs

Below are the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.

What are common converting services?

Die cutting. A technique that utilizes a specialized tool known as a die to cut precision shapes from a flexible material.
Laminating. Bonding two or more layers of a substrate together to produce a multi-layer composite material.
Precision cutting and sheeting. The process of cutting materials into a specific length to create a sheet instead of a roll.
Slitting and rewinding. Involves cutting a large “master” roll of material into a narrower roll with a specific length and width.

What materials are typically converted?

A diverse range of flexible materials can be converted, including but not limited to:

Adhesives and tapes. Double-coated tapes, pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs), VHB™ tapes, and acrylic-, silicone-, or rubber-based adhesives.
Films and plastics. Lexan™, Mylar®, polycarbonate, protective films, vinyl.
Foams. Neoprene, polyethylene, polyurethane, Poron®, silicone.
Foils. Aluminum, copper.
Rubbers. EPDM, neoprene, silicone.

What are some common applications for converted materials?

Converted materials from TPC are often used to produce critical components for everyday products, with common applications including:

Electrical insulation. Die-cut films and plastics protect and insulate battery components and other sensitive electronics.
EMI/RFI shielding. Conductive tapes and foils help protect sensitive electronic components from interference and malfunction.
Gaskets and sealing. Die-cut rubbers and foams block contamination and prevent leaks.
Joining and bonding. Double-coated PSA tapes can replace mechanical fasteners and permanently bond two surfaces together.
Soundproofing and vibration dampening. Specialized foams effectively reduce shock and noise in appliance and automotive applications.Surface protection. Applying a temporary protective film to highly visible (Class A) surfaces or screens can effectively protect components throughout manufacturing and shipping.
