MAM DVD-R Bonding Strength

 

MAM pays close attention to detail in manufacturing.  DVD discs are basically "2 thin CDs" glued together (two 0.6 mm halves).    If the halves are not "bonded" well, the disc can literally fall apart.  Below you can see the structure of a DVD-R disc and what can happen to a poorly bonded one....

DVD Bonding Strength

MAM DVD-R can withstand more abuse than ordinary DVDs.  DVD media is manufactured using two "thin discs" that are glued together.  This bonding can be broken if the disc is dropped onto a hard surface.  (Of course nobody intends to treat media this way, but it happens).  Because of our superior bonding technology, we offer DVD media that will can standup to this kind of abuse. 

 

Below are results of tests that we conducted showing how MAM DVD-R survives even unreasonable conditions. 

 

Procedure:

Results:
The DVD-R discs are dropped from 1.5m high to floor, then visually inspected for damage.

MAM media:

0% discs are damaged

Competitor:

30% discs are delaminated or pealing at reflective layer

 
             MAM "spin-coats" a UV curable liquid adhesive all the way into the clear center of the disc providing superior strength.  Our competitors use a heat sensitive adhesive applied only to the data area.
