Consumer Electronics Device
Design/Manufacturing Needs (Voice of Customer)
Reliability/Design Flexibility – • Smaller form factors in devices require materials with the ability to be
precisely dispensed in a narrow bead.
• New devices utilize various surfaces with different adhesion needs.
Reworkability – • Defects can be costly to manufacturers if a device needs to be
scrapped at the end of a production line.
Efficiency – • Manufacturers require more automation and increased
throughput to reduce wait time between process steps.

Design/Manufacturing Needs (Voice of Customer)
Cost Reductions – • Market demand for lower priced devices has caused OEMs to apply pressure on device manufacturers
for cost reduction.

Introducing NEW Dow Corning
Silicone Hot Melt Technology
• Reliability/Design Flexibility • IP67 Rating (waterproof, dustproof, chemical resistant)
• Precision narrow beading
• Instant adhesion to a multitude of hard to stick to and traditional surfaces
• Examples: PC, PMMA, PET, PTFE, Mg, Glass, Al and SUS
• Reworkability • Silicone hot melt can be reworked without solvent so devices can be repaired
even after going through an entire production line.
Introducing NEW Dow Corning
Silicone Hot Melt Technology
• Efficiency • Devices can be assembled within minutes of dispensing and with instant green
strength to move to the next processing step.
• Automation of dispensing reduces scrap and manual placement of double-sided
tape.
• Overall Cost Savings • Silicone hot melt can save up to 5x when compared to the total cost of using
double-sided tape.
• Compared to polyurethane and other hot melts, reworkability can save $$ in not
having to scrap devices.
