The past year has brought an unprecedented combination of factors that have worked together to impact the supply chain, in some cases severely. The industry’s sustained resolve in navigating this onslaught of material shortages, logistics challenges, and other issues has been impressive. It is unfortunately looking like all of that determination, ingenuity, and flexibility will be required well into 2022.

Room-temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicones are well-known for their extreme durability. They are convenient one-component sealants that cure by reaction with moisture from the atmosphere.

The bio-based industries continue their ascent in the European bio-economy, marking a total contribution of €780 billion (approximately $874.9 billion). This figure is an increase of 4% compared to 2017 and more than 20% compared to 2008.

A proprietary liquid light stabilizer series was designed specifically for modified silane sealants. Their liquid form enables these light stabilizers to be quickly mixed with liquid resin without extra heating, lowering energy costs and reducing the production time between batches while simultaneously improving the sealant’s weather resistance.

Today’s manufacturers have unrestrained access when it comes to bonding solutions. Pressure-sensitive tapes and labels have grown as a viable option, but why are these solutions important?

IPC APEX EXPO 2022 will welcome the electronics manufacturing community to the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, Calif., on January 22-27. The largest North American event for the electronics manufacturing industry is expected to draw approximately 9,000 attendees from 45 countries.

The supply chain has seen several major disruptions over the last 20 months or so. As a result of various issues arising from the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak and the pandemic’s extended impact to natural disasters and more, the adhesive and sealant industry has been dealing with lack of supply, supply and demand disparities, and logistics complications, to name just a few.

The electronics market is booming, and its trends toward component miniaturization, increasingly short cycles, and highest dispensing quality require constant innovation. Dispensing systems are key technologies in an environment of increasing automation and demand for high product output.
