Advanced materials improve dishwasher assembly and end-use. Dishwasher applications include functional coatings on the inside and outside, top assembly and pump bonding materials, and seam, flange and thread sealing materials. Materials are also used to mitigate noise, vibration, and harshness.
Clothes washer applications using advanced materials include sealing solutions as well as bonding of the top lid, control panel, pump assembly, door assembly, door gasket, and counterweight. Materials are also used to minimize noise, vibration, and harshness.
Advanced materials make stove assembly more efficient and effective. Cooktop performance relies on advanced materials that bond and seal the cooktop, control panel, metal-to-glass door, outer oven door, and provide circuit board protection and thermal management.
Advanced materials elevate microwave assembly processes and end-use performance. Solutions include flange and seam sealing and bonding of the blower assembly, control panel, and door assembly alongside noise, vibration, and harshness reduction.
Vacuum cleaners benefit from advanced materials in several ways. Sealing applications include gasketing and hose sealing, Bonding applications aid areas such as motor and fan assemblies, bar to cap, brush, and plastic and composite. Noise, vibration, and harshness materials are also used.
Solutions of adhesives, sealants and functional coatings are widely used for HVAC such as motor assembly bonding, outdoor unit gasketing, structural bonding and various electronics applications.
Refrigerator assembly and end-use are increasingly sophisticated. Advanced materials have evolved and are used throughout the appliances. Bonding applications include door, evaporator and condenser coils, compressor assembly, doors, shelves, and drawers. Sealing applications cover threadlocking and interior liner seams, functional coatings enhance surfaces and noise, vibration, and harshness materials augment performance.
