Wearables

To meet the rapidly evolving trends in the wearable electronics market, the 2000-MW and 9200-W series of wearable device adhesives are designed to assemble and protect sensitive circuitry and components in wearable devices. These product lines were specially formulated to address skin sensitivity and/or skin proximity issues for devices worn on the body for short- or long-term periods, where extractable or leachable materials may be a concern.

Formulated without isobornyl acrylate (IBOA) a common skin irritant, and made with low-sensitizing ingredients, the materials have passed the most rigorous skin sensitivity standards for medical and non-medical wearable devices.

UV/LED IBOA-free skin-friendly light-cure adhesives, coatings, encapsulants, and sealants provide manufacturers with the materials they need to quickly assemble wearable devices that stay in place, can withstand repeated use, extended periods on the body, and exposure to different environments. Other desirable features include the ability to adhere to difficult-to-bond and low-surface-energy substrates, moisture and thermal-shock resistance, and cure in shadow areas.

The 2000-MW series of biocompatible medical wearables products have passed ISO 10993-10 / -23 for sensitization and irritation and ISO 10993-5 for cytotoxicity. They are used to assemble medical smart devices, large-volume injectors as well as diabetes care, and patient monitoring devices.

The 9200-W series of materials for end-user consumer wearables are designed to assemble and protect electronic components and join or seal the plastics and metals inside devices such as AR/VR headsets, fitness trackers, smartwatches, and earbuds. Applications include general bonding, optical positioning, sensors, component encapsulating, and FPC reinforcement.
