Rather than having to decide between 'Trike' and nPB to clean parts, a chemical supplier suggests a third solvent that offers significant cost savings and improved cleaning performance.
Three firms to show grinding technology benefits
Manufacturing efficiency can be improved in 'one stop' at MACH 2006 as 3M joins forces with two top tool suppliers to offer consultation on grinding issues, and show latest abrasive technologies.
"Repairing damaged LCD displays is inconvenient and expensive in terms of repairs and warranty costs," commented Xavier Lecocq, Market Development Manager, 3M's Optical Systems Division.
"The versatile, durable construction of our ARMR200 film means that users - whether they are engineers, stock takers, salesmen, students, business travellers or gamers - can enhance and prolong the lifespan of their devices easily and cost-effectively.
The equipment stays in service during replacement of the film and no technician call-out charges are incurred." Vikuiti ARMR200 film has a unique ultra-thin, multilayered construction with an anti-soiling top layer to help protect LCDs from scratching and fingerprint damage.
It also repels ink, even permanent markers, is resistant to most solvents including window cleaner, cola, coffee, and can withstand temperatures between -35degC to 85degC.
An additional anti-reflective coating significantly improves optical clarity, minimises glare and increases readability.
Displays which require a stylus benefit from the matte hardcoat which helps ensure touch-display sensitivity is not affected whilst creating a natural, non-slip surface for writing.
The non-tacky adhesive coating of the Vikuiti ARMR200 film can be applied to flat surfaces with a squeegee without trapping bubbles and ensures that no residue is left on the display after removal.
Replacement is recommended every 3-6 months depending on the amount of usage.
The Vikuiti ARMR200 film from 3M is available in a variety of sheet sizes in packs of 3 or 5 through 3M's distribution channels.
