Overview of applications for adhesives

The production of electronic components is becoming increasingly challenging with ever smaller devices.

The continuing trend towards miniaturization of PCBs (printed circuit boards) presents the challenge of ensuring that, despite their ever decreasing size, contacts and components continue to work reliably.

Smart cards are becoming increasingly common in everyday life, for example for making phone calls and withdrawing cash. Health insurance cards, identity cards and electronic passports all feature a small chip that makes these cards "smart".

In optics adhesives and cements are used for sealing, holding and joining lenses.

Our medical grade adhesives are certified according to USP VI and/or ISO 10993 standards. They can be used for a wide variety of applications, such as needle bonding, bonding of endoscopes and medical devices, wearable devices, or tube sets and connectors.

An ever increasing number of everyday products contain plastics.

Vitralit glass bonding adhesives are the perfect solution to bond glass to various substrates.

In industry adhesives are often used as liquid seals, as form-in-plastic gaskets (FIPG) or as cured-in-place-gaskets (CIPG), which act as both adhesive and sealant.

In cosmetics and luxury packaging Vitralit® adhesives are used for lid bondings, adhesive reliefs and attachment of decoratives and labels.

Bonding as a joining technology has become indispensable in the automotive industry: special adhesives for components in the body, engine or interior, sealing and potting applications, conductive bonding in vehicle electronics and sensors, e-mobility components and much more

Removable uv masking materials for industrial applications such as sandblasting, shot peening or acid cleaning.

Special adhesives for the production of OPV and flexible photovoltaics include adhesives for film lamination as well as for contacting with flexible conductive adhesives.
