You have a plastic window and are unsure of how to bond it to your display or data acquisition device – what is the best method? Liquid Glue? Sonic Welding? Adhesive Tape? Liquid glue is difficult to apply and messy. Sonic welding takes specialty equipment, is limited to certain materials and requires 3D geometries.

One of the main benefits of any supplier is our knowledge and expertise in the product field or service we provide. This expertise can be accessed in many ways, but the most productive way is in-person, face-to-face meetings. However, in todays world in-person visits are severely limited, which prevents you from taking full advantage of our insight.
