OEM & ODM Custom Adhesive Tape Solutions
-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --
Tailored Material Development for Original Equipment Manufacturers
Our OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) services represent our highest level of technical collaboration. This involves designing adhesive tapes, foams, or films that meet non-standard, component-specific performance criteria—often relating to specific shear values, temperature profiles, flame ratings, or chemical resistance required for a new device or assembly. This typically includes customized adhesive blends, specialized material laminations (e.g., fiberglass reinforced), unique thickness combinations, and precision die-cutting into intricate 2D shapes. The service is characterized by joint R&D, rigorous prototyping, and a commitment to scaling the final approved product into continuous, high-volume production with guaranteed batch-to-batch consistency for automated assembly.
- Joint R&D: Collaborative development of novel adhesive systems or material combinations.
- Tooling Design: In-house engineering for custom die-cutting and converting tools.
- Process Validation: Documentation of process capability studies (CpK) for critical dimensions.
Why Choose Us
Technical Differentiation and Customization Excellence
- Proprietary Formulation Control: Full control over the adhesive compounding process allows for the precise tuning of tack, peel, shear strength, and temperature resistance, delivering a material tailored exactly to the OEM's substrate and environmental requirements.
- Precision Converting Tolerances: Utilizing high-precision rotary and laser die-cutting equipment to deliver parts with exceptionally tight dimensional tolerances, ensuring perfect fit and function in highly automated assembly processes.
- Design for Manufacturability (DFM): Our engineers collaborate early in the design phase to optimize the tape's structure for cost-effective mass production and efficient assembly line application, minimizing waste and complexity.
- Guaranteed Scale-Up: The entire process is managed under strict production protocols to ensure that the performance validated during the prototype stage is replicated flawlessly across millions of units in mass production runs.
Core Features
Examples of Custom OEM/ODM Projects
- Automotive NVH: Developing multi-layer foam and film laminates die-cut to specific shapes for optimal Noise, Vibration, and Harshness dampening in vehicle doors or dashboards.
- Appliance Cooling: Customizing linerless foil tape with a specialized high-tack adhesive for robotic application to refrigerator cooling coils, requiring zero residue and superior thermal stability.
- Custom Gasketing: Creating closed-cell NBR foam strips with differential adhesive coatings (high tack on one side, clean removal on the other) for temporary assembly or specific sealing duties.
- Electronics Shielding: Developing thin-gauge aluminum foil tape with an electrically conductive adhesive die-cut to complex patterns for internal EMI shielding in new-generation communication devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: What is the typical lead time for a custom OEM tape prototype?
- A: Prototyping lead times vary based on complexity, but for existing material modifications (e.g., new die-cut shape, adhesive thickness adjustment), we typically provide initial samples within 2-4 weeks after final print and specification approval.
- Q: How does SXT ensure the intellectual property (IP) of our custom design is protected?
- A: We operate under strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) at the project's onset. All custom tooling (dies) are proprietary to the client, and production runs are tightly controlled, with dedicated staff and segregated production areas where necessary to protect sensitive designs.
- Q: What information is needed to start an OEM/ODM project quote?
- A: We require: 1) A clear description of the application and the two substrates being bonded, 2) Required performance metrics (peel/shear strength, temperature range), 3) A tolerance-dimensioned drawing of the final part (if die-cut), and 4) Estimated annual volume (EAV) for cost calculation.
