What is the right material for my medical device?

Scrunchable, robust and versatile – flexible packaging for potato chips, fruit juices, coffee, detergents and even adhesives are an attractive proposition. However, these so-called laminates have the disadvantage that they are sometimes difficult to return to the economy.

Have you ever questioned which LOCTITE^® Medium Strength Blue Threadlocker to use? Did you even know there are multiple kinds? Learn the basics here.

Balancing high performance and low environmental impact. The aviation industry is committed to delivering sustainable products and services to meet strict regulations and requirements.

Among the major challenges facing the aerospace industry is ensuring the ability to accelerate production levels in the most efficient way possible. Henkel’s manufacturing plant in Montornès del Vallès, Spain, is ready.

Henkel opened its new aerospace adhesives manufacturing facility in Montornès, Spain. This dedicated and cutting-edge production site provides valuable production capacity to support aerospace manufacturers and their suppliers.

Henkel has developed a new die attach formulation designed for exceptionally fast processing and compatibility with the most widely used encapsulants in the market.

Recognizing the challenges, specialists across industry, material suppliers and the academic community set out to develop an alloy that could meet or exceed the high-temperature, high-reliability requirements necessary for automotive and military applications.

Consumer and automotive markets hold the answer for now, but other market sectors such as medical are also beginning to incorporate MEMS devices.

The webinar calendar for 2018, which covers a broad range of topics from analytics to current legislation, has now been released.

The increased adoption of Smart Cards has largely been driven by the global acceptance of the EMV standard for efficient banking and payment infrastructure implementations, along with higher capacity requirements in telecommunications and secure administrative processes for personal identification and access control.

Smart Cards, however, are only as good as the reliability provided by the materials that enable their production. Selecting the most effective adhesive solutions that exceed stringent manufacturing and end-use requirement is essential. This webinar will present information about Smart Card market trends, future growth drivers and details on materials that provide essential Smart Card quality and reliability.

The camera module industry is the focus of much attention, as the addition of camera features into mobile devices — and now into the automotive segment — is driving manufacturers to develop camera technologies that capitalize on this sector’s growth. The more advanced the camera modules become, particularly as pixels and lens quantity increase, a different technique called ‘Active Alignment’ is employed, which requires dual-cure adhesives with UV and thermal cure capabilities to bond the lens holder to the substrate.
