Solution Overview

Problem

Adhesive tapes used for fixing parts and labels lack high drop impact resistance, leading to peeling off or breaking when dropped, and are difficult to remove during disassembly, especially in densely mounted parts.

Innovation Solution

The development of an adhesive tape with an adhesive layer containing particles with an average diameter of 4 to 40 μm and a silicone resin surface, and an adhesive resin, where the particles are dispersed in the adhesive resin in a predetermined ratio, enhancing drop impact resistance and ease of removal.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional adhesive tapes are used for fixing parts, then adhesive reliability is maintained, but drop impact resistance is insufficient causing peeling or breaking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive reliabilityVSAvoiddrop impact resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive layer is formulated as a composite material containing rubber resin (providing elasticity and impact absorption), silicone resin (providing adhesion and flexibility), and inorganic particles (providing reinforcement and structural stability). This composite structure enables the adhesive to simultaneously achieve high adhesive reliability and exceptional drop impact resistance by combining the complementary properties of different materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Productivity

If adhesive tapes are pulled at high angles for rapid removal, then removal speed increases, but the adhesive tape tears off

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremoval speedVSAvoidtape integrity during removal
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive composition parameters are optimized to achieve a balance between adhesion strength and release ease. The specific ratios of rubber resin (30-70 parts), silicone resin (10-60 parts), and inorganic particles (5-50 parts) create an adhesive layer with controlled cohesive strength that allows rapid removal at high angles without tearing, while maintaining strong fixation during normal use.

3Ease of repair

If adhesive tape is removed from densely mounted parts, then disassembly is achieved, but the operation becomes complicated and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisassembly easeVSAvoidremoval time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of repairVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive tape is designed with a base material layer that has been pre-separated from the adhesive layer, allowing the adhesive to be cleanly extracted and removed as a single unit from densely mounted parts. This extraction design eliminates the need for complex step-by-step removal operations, significantly reducing both operational complexity and time required for disassembly of products with multiple adhesive tapes.
