Innovative Solutions for Final Assembly

Reliable, sustainable and functional adhesive solutions for your production processes

Consumer electronics have become an integral part of our everyday lives. From smartphones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches, and TWS (true-wireless stereo) earphones to smart household appliances such as robot vacuum cleaners, these devices are our daily companions. As users, we expect durable and reliable companions. 

All of this is only possible thanks to the many ingenious bonding processes hidden within these devices. The adhesives do far more than just provide structural support. They are thermally conductive, electrically conductive, and protect against external influences, such as moisture or dirt, or shield against light or radiation.

Structural Bonding

Adhesives for structural bonding

Adhesives for strong and durable connections of displays, batteries and housing parts

Structural bonding ensures a secure connection of components and must outlast the entire life cycle of the device. This is where adhesives hold the world together, often in the smallest of spaces and almost invisibly.

Technical excellence for structural bonding

DELO KATIOBOND adhesives cure in seconds with light and UV, offering high strength. For opaque parts, pre-activation allows curing at room temperature. DELO MONOPOX adapts to temperature-sensitive components, curing at as low as 60 °C, benefiting both the parts and environmental sustainability.

Key features
  • Rapid UV curing for strong bonds
  • Pre-activation for non-light-accessible areas
  • Low-temperature curing reduces energy use
  • Environmentally friendly with lower CO2 emissions

This approach ensures high performance, energy efficiency, and sustainability in adhesive applications.

Diverse applications for maximum efficiency

Our adhesives are ideal for various electronics and device assembly needs. We specialize in bonding and integration solutions for modern technology components.

Examples
  • Stiffening and bonding of display modules (LIPO)
  • Housing bonding for smartphones, smartwatches, and earphones
  • Integration of components like cameras, speakers, and sensors
  • Bonding of batteries
