Abstract
A method and assembly for controlling adhesive migration is provided. The method uses a surface altering agent that can limit the flow of adhesive. The surface altering agent may prevent the wetting of the surface area to which it is applied. As two components are coupled together, the adhesive may spread beyond their boarders. The surface altering agent may prevent the spread of the adhesive into sensitive areas.
Claims20
A method of controlling adhesive migration in an assembly, comprising the steps of:
- applying an adhesive to at least one surface of a first component;
- applying a surface altering agent to at least one surface of at least one of the first component and a second component;
- and
- coupling the second component to the first component.
