Conductive and Form-Fit Connections Without Soldering

Conductive adhesives and thermal interface materials from KAGER for advanced electronics assembly

In modern electronics and microelectronics manufacturing, bonding is increasingly replacing soldering. Especially for temperature-sensitive components, electrically conductive adhesives offer clear advantages: low curing temperatures, mechanical flexibility, and long-term reliability under vibration and thermal stress.

Advantages of conductive adhesives

Conductive bonding enables electrical, thermal, and mechanical connections without exposing components to high soldering temperatures. Typical benefits include:

  • protection of sensitive substrates
  • suitability for microelectronics and sensors
  • excellent performance in high-temperature environments
  • vibration-resistant connections

Why Measuring UV Light Distribution Is Essential for Curing Coatings, Adhesives and Paints

In modern production environments, UV curing is crucial for high-performance coatings, adhesives and surface treatments. However, even the most advanced UV lamp can only deliver consistent results when the UV light distribution is absolutely uniform. Variations in UV intensity often lead to incomplete curing, poor adhesion, surface defects or premature material degradation.

Accurate UV light measurement is therefore essential for process stability, quality control and production efficiency.

Uniform UV Light Distribution: A Core Requirement for Reliable Curing

Many companies monitor lamp performance, yet few measure the actual UV intensity on the surface. This intensity can vary significantly due to:

  • lamp aging or contamination
  • uneven lamp distances
  • geometrical part complexities
  • shadowed areas within the curing setup

Kager provides user-friendly solutions to make these variations visible.

Kager UV-Scale: UV Measurement Film for Large Surfaces

For wide curing zones or large components, Kager offers the UV-Scale measurement film.

Ideal for:

  • large-area coatings
  • production lines with multiple UV lamps
  • quick, visual assessment of UV intensity distribution

The film changes color depending on the UV dose, enabling immediate evaluation and process optimization.

Kager UV Measurement Spots 18 × 18 mm: Precision for Small Areas

For localized measurements or tight installation spaces, the UV measurement spots (18 × 18 mm) provide pinpoint accuracy.

Typical applications:

  • micro-bonding areas
  • electronic components
  • intricate coating zones
  • laboratory environments

These spots ensure precise UV intensity control exactly where it matters most.

Conclusion: If You Cure With UV, You Must Measure UV Across industries – automotive, electronics, medical technology, coatings – a controlled and documented UV light distribution is vital. With Kager UV-Scale and UV measurement labels, companies can optimize their UV curing processes easily, reliably and cost-effectively.

Prevent burns, fight fires – with KAGER’s smart safety solutions

Preventing Burns and Fighting Fires: KAGER’s Smart Solutions for Workplace Safety

Innovative protection against heat and fire – from warning labels to fire containment blankets

In modern occupational safety, heat protection and fire prevention are becoming increasingly important. KAGER, a German trading and consulting company specializing in high-temperature technology, offers a wide range of practical solutions for both prevention and emergency protection – including self-adhesive warning labels, pneumatic cold air curtains, and fire containment blankets (BBD).
All products are designed for easy use and contribute to safe, ergonomic, and heat-protected workplaces across industry and trade.

Visual Warning Against Burn Hazards

KAGER’s Hot-Hand Indicator and Large Traffic Light labels provide instant visual alerts wherever there is a risk of burns – such as in foundries or glass processing.

  • The Hot-Hand Indicator turns red above 50 °C, warning users of hot surfaces.
  • The Large Traffic Light changes from green (up to 50 °C) to yellow (up to 70 °C) and finally red, indicating increasing danger.

Both labels are reversible, reusable, and language-independent, offering a simple yet highly effective tool for burn prevention.

Invisible Protection: The Line-Blow Cold Air Curtain The Line-Blow from KAGER creates a thin, dry air curtain that protects workers from heat, smoke, dust, and abrasion. Connected to a compressed air system, it acts as an invisible barrier – ideal for use in industrial environments, laboratories, or cleanrooms where both safety and technical cleanliness are key.

Immediate Response to Battery Fires

The Fire Containment Blanket (BBD) is KAGER’s rapid-response tool for battery incidents and E-Mobility applications. It helps limit damage and prevent fire spread during lithium-ion battery failures.

Made from non-combustible, high-temperature fabric with vermiculite coating, the blanket withstands up to 1,300 °C, remains non-conductive, and allows the use of sprinkler or extinguishing water.
Available in multiple formats – from compact car versions to professional emergency kits – it’s an essential part of any fire safety concept.

Conclusion

KAGER’s solutions combine prevention, protection, and performance – ensuring safety where heat and fire are constant risks. Whether through visual warnings, invisible air barriers, or fire blankets, KAGER helps companies protect people, processes, and property.
