Company Description by JBC Technologies, Inc.

JBC Technologies is a full-service specialized manufacturing partner.

From simple die cut rubber rings to highly complicated die cut assemblies, each gasket, seal, tape fastener, heat shield, or other component we make is engineered to achieve a specific objective with the highest value to the customer.

There are many smaller operations that do a part of what we do. But very few who do it all.

What sets JBC apart - and provides the most value for our client partners - is our application engineering and product design support. We evaluate each request with an engineering mindset, using a combination of good old-fashioned American ingenuity, materials expertise, strategic sourcing, and state-of-the-art systems to determine the best, most cost-efficient way to produce, deliver, and deploy parts into our customers' production environment. Customers benefit from solutions driven by our vertically integrated converting capabilities, continuous improvement framework, people, culture, and values. More... Utilizing diverse processes including Corona treating, laminating, slitting, cutting, and automated assembly, we produce everything from prototypes to large volume runs in house-transforming materials from mill rolls to finished part onsite, keeping costs down, and eliminating supply chain risk for our customers. But the impact of what we do goes far beyond the individual components that we create.

There have been many occasions where we've been able to offer small changes to part composition or presentation that have provided enormous time savings at the next stage of the manufacturing process. There have been others where we've actually picked up the next step in the process, utilizing automation at our facility to replace what had been manual assembly on our client's production line.

Examples include:

- Part composition - adding a tab or split release liner for faster, easier handling

- Part presentation - delivering parts kiss cut on a roll for simpler assembly

- Part packaging - using the packaging itself as an assembly aid Less

JBC Technologies has the quality systems, the equipment, and the technical know-how to manage the complex part geometries, tight tolerances, and multi-layered constructions needed for medical device die-cutting. We’re proudly ISO 9001:2015 certified with vertically-integrated More... converting capabilities that include high-speed, high-precision, rotary die-cutting, multi-layer laminating, slitting, and automated assembly.The category of “medical tapes and adhesives” is a bit of a catch-all. It covers everything from industrial acrylic foam tapes and thin bonding tapes – used in the assembly of medical hard goods and durable medical equipment – to the many medical-grade polyester non-woven and other materials used in disposable health and beauty products and long term wearables like remote heart and glucose monitoring. There is one thing all of these items have in common, though, and it’s that they all pass some form of biocompatibility testing in order to truly be labeled “medical grade". Less

Product Information

Face shields, while not designed to provide a tight-fitting seal around the nose and mouth like a fabric or cloth mask, offer a solid physical barrier - often extending below the chin and back toward the wearer's ears - that protects not only the nose and mouth but also the eyes from exposure to potentially infected airborne droplets. It's this same barrier that, much like the face mask, also prevents the virus from being spread by the wearer to others. View this infographic to learn more.
This white paper introduces you to the problem of vehicle hot spots and how metal heat shields were traditionally used to address excessive heat. The document then walks you through the composition and benefits of JBC Technologies TABshield patch series.
VHB high-strength, double-sided acrylic foam tapes enable you to quickly and easily create a long-lasting bond that builds strength over time. Among other things, these tapes, create an invisible bond, distribute dynamic and/or static stress, improve holding strength, and replace mechanical fasteners. This design guide walks you through the options available so you can choose the right product for your needs.
To keep components cool, design and application engineers are tasked with finding the right thermal management solution. They must move excess heat away from critical components within the device, but they're challenged to do so within a smaller form factor. With the demand for thermal management solutions on the rise, this paper takes a closer look at how to approach the challenge.

Pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) play major roles in many applications, providing creative ways for companies to assemble parts, remove buzz squeak, rattle, eliminate mechanical fasteners, and more. Unfortunately, when a PSA fails, so does the part it's attached to. This guide is intended to help you get to the root of why the adhesives on your parts may be failing and give you the ammunition you need to prevent it from happening again.
A leading luxury car manufacturer noticed a cosmetic flaw with a significant exterior trim component. The part was not matching up with the vehicle trim line, causing an unsightly misalignment. A quick fix was paramount, but the solution was complicated. This case study highlight's how JBC Technologies solved their problem, using a combination of a molded plastic part and a die cut acrylic foam tape.
Adhesive science tells us that for an adhesive to be able to fully wet out, or effectively spread across the surface to form a secure bond, the surface energy of the substrate must be higher than the surface energy of the adhesive.
