Focus on Electronic Signage
Over the next few pages, you’ll find innovative products from all corners of the electronic signage sector. Whether that’s fluorescent signs, incandescent signs, LED signs, or neon signs, electronic signage is something worth condsidering as we head into the summer months.
New adhesive sparks change in electronic sign assembly
Eurobond Adhesives has introduced tecbond 248 to the sign making industry. A clear hot melt adhesive with an exceptionally strong bonding ability on smooth, shiny and plastic surfaces. Coupled with good open time and fast setting speed this grade is set to become the go-to adhesive within the electronic sign market.
Strong bonds are crucial for the durability and longevity of electronic signs; ensuring components such as LEDs, circuit boards, and other electronic elements remain securely attached to the sign housing and sealed from the elements. Tecbond 248 has been designed to withstand a range of temperatures, meaning it will keep performing on signs being exposed to varying environmental conditions. In addition, electronic signs, especially those installed outdoors or in high-traffi c areas, are subject to vibrations and shocks. Tecbond 248 can help to absorb these stresses, reducing the risk of damage to the electronic components.
Tecbond 248 provides exceptional adhesion to a wide range of substrates which simplifi es the electronic sign assembly process by reducing the need for multiple types of adhesives. 248 has also been widely used on many plastics, such as PVC, polycarbonate, and acrylic; glass, ceramics, wood and most metals.
Once compressed, tecbond 248 sets almost instantly without the need for clamping or holding in place, facilitating faster working and allows for quicker assembly of electronic signs, improving production effi ciency. Exceptionally user-friendly. Tecbond 248 is applied using standard hot melt glue guns and can be extruded at varying temperatures depending on the application requirements. Lower temperatures for example can reduce the risk of material damage; altering the dispensing temperatures affects the product’s viscosity, assisting with sag issues that could occur for example when applying to vertical surfaces.

As a long-standing trade signage company of 32 years, Impact 3D Signs has seen a vast amount of illuminated signage in this time.
A stunning example of the combination of built up letters and LED illumination
A very popular choice is ‘halo’ which looks very classy, ‘face lit’ has a good impact, vintage fairground/ cabochons have seen to be adapted to the younger generation, coloured paint effects and RGB chasing lights have been added as fun elements to stand out in selfi es. Neon has also had a revival and Impact 3D Signs has adapted, using its CNC to suit the bespoke effects clients wish to achieve. But at the end of the day the simple combination of skilfully constructed built up letters look fantastic with LED illumination. The illuminated signs Impact 3D Signs constructs are not just for the retail outlets, they have been adapted to form part of a rock band concert on stage, free standing at an outdoor food festival, specialist frames have been made to stand on top of vans, whichever way they are presented there is no doubt they really create an instant incredible visual effect for a clients’ brand.
Impact 3D Signs managing director, Kevin Washbourne once commented that he wished to ‘light up the community’ and he certainly has. But when he started, he never envisaged the far-reaching effect seen today.
