HPx High-Pressure Dispensing Tool easily apply precise amounts of thick assembly fluids like epoxies and medical-grade adhesives through dispense tips as small as 0.004” with Nordson EFD HPx™ dispensing tools. Featuring a unique design, HPx tools increase the pressure inside disposable syringe barrels up to seven times. Designed to work with Nordson EFD air-powered dispensers, they produce a maximum dispensing pressure of 700 psi. Increase yields and produce better quality parts in less time, while minimizing the risk of repetitive stress injuries.

Nordson Electronics Solutions introduces its PD Series Plasma Deposition Systems family, which uses plasma polymerization to deposit thin films uniformly during precision manufacturing and assembly processes to change the surface characteristics of a substrate. Plasma deposition can be used for applications in a wide range of industries, including medical, life sciences, industrial, semiconductor, MEMS, plastics, and electronics.

The PD Series for plasma deposition uses a gas vapor or heated liquid monomer vapor delivery system to deposit coatings that can reduce, and in certain cases eliminate, tackiness, provide a tie layer, make surfaces more slippery or resistant to corrosion, act as a drug enhancement or inhibition agent in life sciences applications, and change desired surfaces from hydrophobic to hydrophilic or vice versa. Polymers can be directly attached to a desired surface while the chains are growing, which reduces the steps necessary for other coating processes such as grafting. This is very useful for pinhole-free coatings of 100 picometers to 1 micrometer thickness with solvent insoluble polymers.

Key Features

• Low-temperature processing because plasma energy is the catalyst for film growth.

• Plasma deposition is uniform and applies coatings evenly over curved or varied-level surfaces.
• Precise control of film thickness.
• Eliminates wet chemistry. Because polymers are deposited directly from the monomer, there are no waste streams due to wet chemical synthesis or solvents.
• Exhibits similar properties to those created via standard chemical polymerization techniques.
• Can be used in multiple steps during device manufacture: pre-treat the surface, deposit material, and apply functionalized polymer films.

Nordson’s MiniBlue II applicator provides the longest service life of any pneumatic gun in the packaging industry. MiniBlue II applicators apply adhesive at high speeds with dispensing times as low as 2 milliseconds. 

 The Unity Basic Series systems are engineered for precise hot melt dispensing using Nordson Unity dispensing systems.
