Converting Solutions to Industrial Markets in Healthcare, Military, Communications, and Electronics

3m Cleanroom Tape Products are specifically prepared and packaged for direct introduction and application into cleanroom manufacturing facilities. Their plastic cores and double polyethylene bag packaging eliminate contamination from dirty cardboard and paper products.

3M Cleanroom Tape are generally used for electronic assemblies and components. They offer a vary high tack formaltion, suitable for creating temporary barriers during cleanroom construction or maintenance. They are available in one transparent and two color tape variations.

3M Double Coated Tapes improve handling and ease of die cutting. These electronic thin attachment films are designed to attach a wide variety of substrates ranging from metal and plastics to gaskets. 3M Double Coated Tapes offer outstanding performance from low surface energy to high temperature resistance.

Gleicher experts are always available to talk tape, and answer any other design related questions you may need answered. Sometimes it's nice to have an idea of exactly how we can help. Check out the 3M Double Coated Tape product line below, we've included comments from our experts on each product to give you a clear idea of which product will work best with your design!

Although 1 to 5 mil viscoelastic will suffice in some applications, many applications require thicker materials, some .500' thick and thicker. Luckily, Gleicher has pioneered and developed the manufacturing technology necessary to effectively produce materials from 0.010' to 0.500' thick and thicker, giving engineers the design flexibility they need for most applications.

Dampening materials help convert vibrational energy into negligible heat making it easier for vibrational structures to recover faster after each vibration cycle. These materials effectively reduce noise, product fatigue and enhance performance.

3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners invisibly attach access doors and panels, signs, display components, and many other frequently removed parts. They provide easy openings and secure closings.

Reclosable fasteners give you choices that improve your product and save production time.
When the mushroom-shaped stems interlock, closure strength of the system is high enough to replace mechanical fasteners in many applications.Yet you can readily open and close Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners hundreds of times.

3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners are available in non adhesive-backed or adhesive backed versions. Adhesive backed versions bond to bar of painted metal, sealed wood, glass, many plastics including plasticised vinyl, and more. Adhesive backed versions are designed with a wide range of performance characteristics including: Flame resistance, high shear strength, low and high temperature resistance, and plasticizer resistance for use with most vinyls. 3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners Low Profile is thinner than standard Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners, perfroms similar to the 250/250 stem combinations and is clear for color matching.

3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners provide easy openings and secure closing with enough strength to replace bulky, unattractive mechanical fasteners. For more information please visit the 3M Dual Lock home page.

Gleicher offers a broad range of medical grade tapes and component products used in many of the major market segments:

3M tapes and fasteners feature advanced 3M rubber or acrylic adhesive formulas. Each have characteristics that affect production and end use performance. To help you make sure of finding the optimum tape for your particular application, you'll want to consider several factors:

Gleicher Manufacturing, a leading converter of engineered bonding, fastening and sealing solutions offers customers an accelerated manufacturing process with rapid prototyping.

Gleicher offers ecofriendly manufacturing options through products and services. Working with world-class brands such as 3M and Velcro Gleicher Manufacturing is able to offer customers a wide variety of ecofriendly options.

Gleicher’s premium converter system is a Certified Class 100 Clean Room. This means Gleicher can convert materials in a setting that has a low level of environmental pollutants such as dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles and chemical vapors.

3M GREENGAURD Certified Adhesives, which are water-based adhesives that have been certified to the GREENGUARD Children&Schools standard—the highest certification offered by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute’s (GEI) GREENGUARD Certification Program.

In addition to these efforts 3M has introduced a line of high-performance green products variety of high solids/low-VOC adhesives making them eco-friendly. Some of these high solids/low VOC adhesives include 3M VHB Tapes, 3M Scotch-Weld Structural Adhesives, 3M Rite-Lok Adhesives, 3m Scotch-Weld Polyurethane Reactive Adhesives, 3M Aerosol Adhesives, and 3M Scotch-Weld Sealants.

With Gleicher Manufacturing Company these green products can be customized to the size and shape needed for the particular project the adhesive is required. Read more about available 3M and Velcro "Green" products and explore how you can use Gleicher's converting services to your advantage.

Viscoelastic Damping Polymers are designed to have both "Viscous" and "Elastic characteristics. The combinatinos of both characterisistics allows Gleicher to help effectively control resonance induced vibrations in vibrating structures or devices.

"Viscous" controls vibrational energy by dampening it and converting it into negligible heat. "Elastic" allows the vibrational energy to recover after each vibrations cycle repetitively. These characteristics work together to bring you a Viscoelastic Damping Material that reduces structure-borne noise and enhances performance.

Viscoelastic Material has aided in eliminating vibration in the computer, automotive, aerospace, electrical/mechanical devices, consumer appliances, medical electronic and other general industrial products.

Gleicher allows you to choose from a wide variety of materials. With priority shipping Gleicher is able to provide their customers with materials in a production ready state as soon as 24 hours after the request. Gleicher Fabrications Capabilities include:
