Market Research Future - Premium Research Reports Adhesives & Sealants for Handheld Devices Market | Page 2

selected fillers and plasticizers. They used to provide excellent air-sealing and weatherproofing properties for lap sealing in handheld devices. This kind of sealant is the best choice in handheld application, where the combination of moisture and cold temperatures would cause the break-down of other sealants. These are permanently pliable, moisture resistant, non-paintable, non-skinning, and non- staining. On the basis of adhesive, the market is segmented into hot melt adhesives, pressure sensitive adhesives, waterborne adhesives, solvent based adhesives, others. Firstly, hot melt adhesives are humidity resistance adhesives, has flexible viscoelastic bonds to plastic and metal substrates and are applied as a hot liquid melt. These are used in electronic devices such as smartphones, phablets, tablets, smart- watches, smart bands, etc. Silicone hot melt adhesives are mostly unaffected by immersion in most of the liquids which contact with electronic devices. Advantages of using hot melt adhesives in electronic devices are, their speed of bond formation allows for high line speeds, gap filling allows better resistance in part design, suitable for high humidity environments, variety of application methods allows for flexibility of part design bond together impervious surfaces, allowing bonding of two non-porous surfaces, long shelf life without special environment controls, etc. Pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) are highly utilized in the assembly of medical devices such as blood glucose monitoring strips, to quickly bond and seal together the various layers of the device. PSAs are also used for attaching products to skin, an insulin pump, such as a surgical drape, a first aid dressing for cuts and bruises, etc. Solvent based adhesives use the chemical reaction caused by mixing two or more components to create a binding glue that hardens as it dries. On the basis of application, the adhesives & sealants for handheld devices market is segmented into laptops, mobile phones, hard disc drives, medical devices, and others. Increasing disposable income, growing internet penetration, causes leading to higher potential sales of consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and gaming consoles, as well as adhesives & sealants for these devices. The increasing demand of adhesives & sealants for handheld devices in various industries such as laptops, mobile phones, hard disc drives, medical devices, and others. Tel: [phone] [email protected]
