WHAT FAILS FIRST: THE BOND OR THE MATERIAL AROUND IT?

Come and see marine adhesives and tapes put under pressure at the Southampton International Boat Show.

Slater Jinkinson from TECHSiL will join 3M specialists Lyndon Davies and Mike Davies for a practical session on bonding in marine construction and repair.

We’ll run several live demonstrations and explore what engineers and boatbuilders should consider when moving from mechanical fastening to bonding.

Tuesday 22 September
13:30 to 14:15
The Boating Stage

The talk is included with show entry.

STILL WELDING OR RIVETING EVERY JOINT?

Modern adhesives and tapes can reduce drilling and hot work, join dissimilar materials, distribute loads, seal joints and help shorten assembly times.

The question is knowing where to use them.

At the Southampton International Boat Show, TECHSiL and 3M will demonstrate how these technologies perform and discuss the marine applications where they provide a sound alternative to traditional joining methods.

Expect practical demonstrations and straight answers on application suitability and limitations.

WE’RE GOING TO BREAK THINGS AT THE SOUTHAMPTON BOAT SHOW.

On Tuesday 22 September, TECHSiL and 3M are taking marine adhesives and tapes onto the Boating Stage for a series of live demonstrations.

We’ll test materials, challenge familiar assembly methods and show where bonding can offer a practical alternative to welding and riveting in marine build and repair.

If you design, build, maintain or repair boats, put this in your diary:

The Viking and TECHSiL teams had a great day getting together with the 3M sales teams at their brand new facility for a full day of networking, learning and some fun practical sessions. There's always exciting updates to learn from 3M and our team loved the chance to learn hands on whilst getting to see the stunning new building. We look forward to sharing our knowledge about the ever growing 3M range with our customers! Let's stick together!

Where is your UAV build losing time?

Most UAV production delays are not caused by one major problem.

They come from repeated small delays across the build.

A cure cycle here. A clamping stage there. A drilled bracket. A secondary seal. A slow fixture. A housing that needs rework. A component that needs extra protection.

The right adhesive, tape, sealant or shielding material can remove some of those delays.

Examples include UV639 for fast sensor and camera assemblies, TA439 for motor and magnet bonding, TA4550 for mixed-substrate structural bonding, foam tapes for instant tack and vibration damping, RTV19131 for UV cure sealing, MT3836 for thermal bonding, and 1182 copper tape for EMI/RFI shielding.

If you want to build UAVs faster without losing ruggedness, start with the assemblies that slow the line down.

Survey UAVs need stable payloads and repeatable builds

Survey drones need accuracy.

That means stable sensor mounting, controlled vibration, reliable electronics protection and repeatable assembly from unit to unit.

Adhesives and tapes can help manufacturers reduce variation in the build process. UV curing adhesives can support fast, accurate sensor and optical assembly. Foam tapes can support bonding, sealing and vibration damping. Structural adhesives can reduce drilled holes and local stress points in lightweight frames.

For manufacturers scaling survey, mapping, LiDAR or inspection UAV platforms, the benefit is not only performance. It is production flow.

Faster fixture. Fewer secondary operations. Cleaner assemblies. Better repeatability.

If you are building UAVs for surveying, inspection or industrial monitoring, TECHSiL can help identify bonding and sealing options for the assemblies that slow you down.

Ruggedisation starts at the build stage

UAVs used for inspection, surveying, fire safety, delivery, construction, agriculture, utilities and filming are exposed to vibration, impact, moisture, heat and repeated handling.

Ruggedisation is not only about the outer shell. It is built into the way frames, arms, motors, sensors, batteries and electronics are bonded, sealed, protected and shielded.

Fast-curing adhesives, UV cure materials, high-performance foam tapes, thermally conductive silicones and EMI shielding tapes can all help manufacturers increase build speed while improving durability.

That means fewer fasteners, fewer penetrations, shorter handling delays and better protection against the conditions UAVs face in service.

TECHSiL supports UAV manufacturers with bonding, sealing, thermal and shielding materials for prototype, low-volume and repeatable production.

EMI and RFI shielding without redesigning the whole enclosure

Commercial UAVs carry more electronics than ever.

GPS, radios, cameras, sensors, data links, control systems and video transmission equipment all need to work reliably in compact assemblies.

That makes localised EMI and RFI shielding a practical design consideration.

Copper EMI shielding tapes such as 3M 1182 can offer a fast, repeatable way to protect critical components and manage interference risks, without adding complex enclosure work or slowing the build with unnecessary fabrication.

For UAV manufacturers, shielding tape can support production speed, repeatability and reliability.

It is a small material choice that can make a real difference to build efficiency and platform protection.

Thermal management is now a production issue

Batteries, ESCs, processors, radios, cameras and sensing modules all generate heat inside compact UAV platforms.

As payloads become more capable, thermal management becomes harder to ignore.

Materials such as MT3836 thermally conductive adhesive/sealant and TECHSiL RTV1084G thermally conductive silicone can help with battery retention, electronics bonding, heat transfer, sealing and environmental protection.

Used correctly, these materials can reduce the need for separate fixing and sealing stages, helping manufacturers simplify the build while protecting critical electronics.

This is relevant across delivery drones, inspection UAVs, survey platforms, fire safety systems, industrial monitoring drones and other high-demand applications.
