Marian sales engineers are experts in designing high quality parts for any small, complex applications. Below, you will find links to two of our newest success stories that highlight laminated foam materials in two very different markets (LED lighting and automotive). In both stories, you will find that Marian's team of experts worked closely with customers to design a unique part, and provided exceptional material recommendations to create a winning solution. Sales engineers must be strategic in choosing materials to ensure that they meet all requirements of the design.

3M VHB Lens Gasket for Linear LED Array

In this success story, the LED lighting system designer needed a bonding solutions for an outdoor lighting product that would last the 10+ years of the product. The die-cut component would be bonding the polycarobonate lens to a reflector. With this being an outdoor product, the material would be exposed to a wide range of environmental elements. After a period of discovery, the Marian sales engineer understood all of the details of the design. With his in depth material knowledge, he recommended 3M VHB Foam Tape.

Gaskets & Seals for HEV Battery Enclosure

In this success story, Marian worked with a global designer of electronic components and integrated systems for the automobile industry. The design required a group of seals and gaskets that would protect an electronic enclosure from moisture, dust, and debris. Additionally, the design required that the seals and gaskets offer cushioning from vibration and impact. Marian offered superior gasket materials along with an innovative design that resulted in higher material yield as well as quick and easy application by the operator.
