Diffusion bonding. This company helps designers create intricate, multi-layer manifolds that will withstand harsh chemicals, high temperature and other stresses. Using a proprietary process called diffusion bonding, the company creates complex, close-tolerance, 3-dimensional fluidic manifolds for process and diagnostic equipment manufacturers. The process now uses Ultem, a polyetherimide manufactured by GE Plastics. Diffusion bonding does not use adhesives, solvents, ultrasound or vibration. It is a process whereby flat layers are fused together with a combination of heat, time and pressure. The clean process provides OEMs with manifolds that have clear, obstruction-free internal tracks, chambers and other features.
