Resources

Applications

This is an exploded diagram for a virtual reality headset.
Structural bonding adhesives

Durable structural assembly is vital to the functionality, lifetime, and aesthetics of consumer electronic devices, mandating that the various components and substrates by securely bonded.

Surface coating solutions

Through a patented approach and core molecular structure technology, LOCTITE® InvisiPrint makes fingerprints virtually invisible on glass and certain plastic surfaces while providing easy-to-clean properties and excellent durability.

Board-level encapsulants and underfills

Electronic device reliability requires materials to protect componentry from mechanical shock, thermal impact, and other environmental factors.

Thermal management materials

Smaller, denser electronic components create heat that can degrade their performance. Component-level thermal management helps to protect electronic devices.

XR headsets

Extended reality (XR) devices are becoming more complex while functionality and performance expectations rise. Henkel materials help manufacturers develop lightweight, power-conserving, high-functioning devices.
