Consumer Electronics Market Trends CONNECTIVITY EVERYWHERE Consumer demand for water and element (dust) proof mobile devices
Consumer Electronics Market Trends Thin, versatile devices and displays
Consumer Electronics Device Design/Manufacturing Needs (Voice of Customer) Reliability/Design Flexibility Smaller form factors in devices require materials with the ability to be precisely dispensed in a narrow bead. New devices utilize various surfaces with different adhesion needs. Reworkability Defects can be costly to manufacturers if a device needs to be scrapped at the end of a production line.
Consumer Electronics Device Design/Manufacturing Needs (Voice of Customer) Efficiency Manufacturers require more automation and increased throughput to reduce wait time between process steps. Cost Reductions Market demand for lower priced devices has caused OEMs to apply pressure on device manufacturers for cost reduction.

Introducing NEW Dow Corning Silicone Hot Melt Technology Reliability/Design Flexibility IP67 Rating (waterproof, dustproof, chemical resistant) Precision narrow beading Instant adhesion to a multitude of hard to stick to and traditional surfaces Examples: PC, PMMA, PET, PTFE, Mg, Glass, Al and SUS Reworkability Silicone hot melt can be reworked without solvent so devices can be repaired even after going through an entire production line.
Introducing NEW Dow Corning Silicone Hot Melt Technology Efficiency Devices can be assembled within minutes of dispensing and with instant green strength to move to the next processing step. Automation of dispensing reduces scrap and manual placement of double-sided tape. Overall Cost Savings Silicone hot melt can save up to 5x when compared to the total cost of using double-sided tape. Compared to polyurethane and other hot melts, reworkability can save $$ in not having to scrap devices.
