Why Low VOC Consumer Electronics Adhesive Solutions matter for end consumers and workers?

The consumer electronics industry is in a constant state of evolution, marked by an increasing focus on sustainability, environmental responsibility, and product safety. For consumer electronic engineers, whether designing speakers, phones, laptops, wearables, tablets, or notebooks, one of their aims is to innovate and deliver top-tier products.

However, a frequently underestimated critical concern is VOC emission, which is highly related to material choosing. To be more specific, adhesive assembly process plays a crucial factor.

Adhesive solutions, particularly those boasting low volatile organic compound (VOC) properties, have become important in achieving the objectives. To meet VOC requirements without sacrificing adhesive performance, Bemis offers thermoplastic adhesive products with very low VOC properties, alongside various other desirable characteristics such as: strong bonding, UV resistance and washing resistance.

Some of our adhesive formulations even feature a high content of bio-based materials up to 91%. Moreover, the application process for these adhesives is straightforward, requiring only temperature, pressure, and time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In some complex electronic applications, they often demand specially formulated, customized adhesive solutions. Our chemistry engineer and R&D teams at Bemis Associates possess extensive knowledge in Materials Science, polymer performance, and formulation. We combine this expertise with our proficiency in lamination and converting processes, along with a deep understanding of end-user applications with different substrates, whether it’s soft textile, plastic or even metals. This enables us to provide designed solutions to address your unique application-driven challenges.

 

Recognizing how VOC emissions affect both consumers and factory workers, Bemis is dedicated to their well-being with our ‘Better by Bemis’ approach. We stand ready to support engineers in navigating the dynamic landscape of consumer electronics by offering sustainable adhesive assembly solutions. Together, we can achieve success while ensuring environmental responsibility.
