The device is a tape having a pair of parallel perforated lines running lengthwise along the center of the tape having a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating on a bottom surface of said tape whereby the tape is comprised of three sections: a first adhesive section, a non-adhesive section and a second adhesive section, with the non-adhesive section defined by the perforated lines.

A template for controlling application of material around a protuberance is disclosed. The protuberance extends from a workpiece and has a base. The template comprises a first portion and a second portion, removably attached to the first portion at a boundary. The first portion comprises a first-portion inner peripheral edge that at least partially defines a positioning opening and that is geometrically complementary to at least a portion of the base of the protuberance. The first portion also comprises a first-portion workpiece-facing surface that is adhesive-free. The second portion comprises a visual material-placement indicator, located on a second-portion environment-facing surface. The second portion also comprises an adhesive layer, located on at least a portion of a second-portion workpiece-facing surface.

A spray coating protection method for electronic devices during metallic particle deposition via spraying is disclosed. The spray coating protection method enables selectivity over the size and location of particle deposition. The spray coating protection method is easy for an automation application, in which multiple electronic devices are processed simultaneously, and is suitable for electronic devices of different shapes and sizes. The spray coating protection method provides resistance to high temperature and high pressure during the spraying operation. The spray coating protection method utilizes masking paper, but additional film materials may be used, both to increase the protective strength of the mask and to enable easy placement and subsequent peel off of the masking paper following the spraying process. The masking paper may be made using a die cutting process and is easily placed onto the electronic device surface to ensure zero contamination from hot and high pressure spray particles.

A method of masking and pretreating a plastic part prior to being spray-painted including the steps of providing a plastic part having one or more adhesive bond lines. The plastic part is typically an exterior automotive component having a painted show surface. Examples of plastic parts include but are not limited to lift gates, running boards, door trim pieces, spoilers, tail gates, front fascias and rear fascias. The method can also be used in connection with metal parts or any other application where a surface of the part will be painted and other surfaces on the part need to be protected from direct paint spray or paint overspray.

Provided are an electronic device housing, a preparation method therefor and an electronic device therewith. The electronic device housing comprises a housing body and a logo layer, wherein the housing body is provided with a first surface and a second surface which are opposite each other, the first surface is provided with a first area and a second area which are adjacent to each other, the second area is located on the periphery of the first area, and the surface roughness of the second area is greater than that of the first area; and the logo layer is arranged on the first surface, and an orthographic projection of the logo layer on the first surface coincides with the first area.

A tape assembly for masking an object to be painted and method of use is provided. The tape assembly is defined by a tape body having an anterior side, a posterior side, a body first edge, and an opposing body second edge. The tape body includes a first portion including a first substrate having a first adhesive layer on a posterior side of the first substrate, a second portion including a second substrate having a second adhesive layer on an anterior side of the second substrate, and a third portion including a third substrate having a third adhesive layer on a posterior side of the third substrate. The first and third portions partially overlap with the second portion in opposing first and second overlapping regions, respectively.

A polyester-based film having excellent scratch resistance, durability, transparency, and visibility and a process for preparing the same. The polyester-based film comprises a base layer and a coating layer on at least one side of the base layer. The light passage according to Relationship 1 is 91% or more, or the total transmittance for light of 380 nm to 780 nm is 92% or more, it has excellent optical properties, durability, visibility, and reliability. Thus, it can be applied to display devices such as smartphones, tablet PCs, and laptops. In addition, in the polyester-based film according to an embodiment, the strain with respect to tensile load satisfies a specific range, whereby it is possible to achieve the flexibility that hardly causes deformation even when a certain load is maintained for a long period of time. Thus, it can be applied to flexible display devices, particularly, foldable display devices.

An apparatus includes a component having an edge feature that has a radius of curvature. The apparatus includes an underlayer arranged over the edge feature and configured to increase the radius of curvature of the edge feature. The apparatus includes a powder coating arranged over the component and over the underlayer to form a continuous layer. The underlayer is configured to remain under the powder coating. The underlayer helps the powder coating achieve a more uniform thickness over the edge feature. The apparatus is formed by applying an underlayer to a first region of the component to form an underlaid component. The first region includes the edge feature. A powder coating is applied to the underlaid component. A masking layer may be applied to a region other than the first region, and after powder coating, the masking may be removed to expose a surface of the component.
