COATED FABRICS

Frequently, requirements for insulation, surface protection, chemical resistance, and thermal management translate into a need for specialty converted coated fabric materials.

EIS laminates, slits, and die-cuts coated fabric products for these applications with precise, clean edge cuts that prevent unraveling. Coated glass, cotton, and aramid mat material can be laminated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive to offer high-temperature resistance with excellent dielectric strength. Fabrics may be laminated with conductive adhesives and then die-cut to address EMI/RFI shielding and structural requirements.

GASKETS, CUSHIONS, & SEALANTS →

EIS is a world-class supplier of die-cut, high-performance materials used in gaskets, cushions, and sealing applications. We inventory hundreds of custom materials manufactured into finished parts to meet the most exacting tolerances for mission-critical applications.

• Gaskets, Cushions, Seals
• Insulators
• Filters
• Absorbers, Wicks
• Seals, liners
• Dampeners, sound deadeners
• Strip Discs

MASKING

EIS has many years of experience in the slitting and die-cutting of masking materials to custom slit widths or die-cutting into complex shapes. These die-cut masking parts are converted to tolerances that will meet the demands of the most intricate masking project. Die-cut masking materials are available in rolls or on sheets to best meet the requirements of your application. Adhesive-backed masking kits are available, putting all masking needs for an application on a single peelable liner. This eliminates scrap and minimizes labor, lowering the overall cost to the customer. EIS can offer our customers jumbo rolls of 3M masking materials from our extensive inventory.

RECLOSABLE FASTENERS

EIS offers a complete line of reclosable fastening systems supplied, cut to size, mated, with permanent adhesive backers.

EIS can provide our customers with 3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners. These products have been used extensively in transportation, electronics, business equipment, machinery, medical, and sign and display markets. When the mushroom-shaped stems interlock, tensile strength is high enough to replace mechanical fasteners in many applications, yet you can readily open and close Dual Lock fasteners hundreds of times.

When your product calls for thousands of easy openings and closings, 3M™ Scotchmate™ Reclosable Fasteners pull through for you. Tiny, stiff hooks mesh with pliable loops for quick, secure fastening. In addition, Scotchmate™ reclosable fasteners are backed with 3M™ adhesive technology expertise, ranging from rubber adhesives to high-performance, double-coated foam tape that can be adhered to most surfaces to provide a solution strong as you need—nylon, flame-retardant, sewable, loop and great for aerospace applications.

REFLECTIVE & LUMINESCENT

EIS converts conspicuity and reflective markings & signage for a variety of safety enhancement applications.

Conspicuity materials can be used in the following applications:

• Emergency Vehicles
• Work Zones
• Traffic Safety Signs
• Construction Signs
• Mine Safety
• Marine and more

EIS provides custom rolls, shapes, and custom signs made from the full line of 3M™ Diamond Grade Reflective Conspicuity marking, striping, and film materials.

Our signs and markings improve visibility anywhere enhancing safety or visibility are essential.

Signs and markings are available in all DOT and major colors on film, flexible or rigid sign materials: aluminum, plastic, dibond, magnetic backed, VHB, adhesive backed, and permanent protective film face. Using our proprietary cutting and edge sealing system, we can fabricate these materials into any size, shape, or configuration.

RELEASE LINERS

EIS offers release liners that are compatible with a variety of adhesive systems, including rubber, acrylic, and silicone. Our engineering design team carefully selects liner materials to provide the optimum release characteristics required by the adhesive backing for slit and custom die-cut materials. Non-adhesive parts need low-tack adhesive liners compatible with the manufacturing process's intended speed and accuracy requirements.

Release liners are made from films and papers of various thicknesses and degrees of rigidity.

Liners used by EIS include:

• Easy or medium-release
• One or two-side release

EIS offers a wide range of product design and engineering capabilities and various custom fabrication services, such as custom die-cutting and rotary die-cutting.

RIGID INSULATION →

EIS has established long-term relationships with the largest material suppliers in the world. The material takes a wide variety of forms, whether sheet, tube (convolute wound, filament wound), rod (sheet, rolled and molded), channel, angle, near net, pultruded shapes, or extruded shapes.

TAPES →

EIS supplies adhesive tapes to support a variety of manufacturing processes. Our extensive selection of flexible tapes and adhesive solutions is tailored for various applications in industries such as electrical, electronics, medical, military/aerospace, power conversion, renewable energy, and transportation.  

Whether you need tapes for electrical wiring, electronic component assembly, medical device manufacturing, or any other industry-specific application, EIS offers a comprehensive range of high-quality solutions crafted to excel in diverse settings
