Device Protection

As dependence on consumer electronics grows, so do expectations for their functionality, longevity, and resistance to just about everything from heat to mechanical shock to moisture. Protecting and waterproofing electronics against the damaging effects of external influences that can destroy electronic function is critical to a user’s satisfaction with their device. This why today’s leading consumer product manufacturers partner with Henkel.

As one of the world’s top electronic materials innovators, Henkel has developed a complete portfolio of materials for waterproofing electronics, that help seal and protect modern consumer devices and systems from the damaging effects of water penetration.

Printed Circuit Board Protection

Aside from waterproofing electronics and making sure they are drop proof, most electronical devices also need to survive varied environments and live up to their performance standards even after being exposed to vibration, airborne contaminants, moisture, perspiration, and a myriad of other potentially detrimental factors. Every component of an electronic device – from inside at the board level to outside at the enclosure level – must be protected. 

At the board level, Henkel offers a range of LOCTITE^® products for waterproofing electronics that include encapsulants, underfills, and conformal coatings safeguard printed circuit boards (PCBs) and components against moisture, corrosion, shock, drop and vibration. These materials provide corrosion control for devices by preventing moisture from reaching sensitive components.  

Wi-Fi enabled devices are protected from electromagnetic interference with Henkel’s EMI shielding solutions at the package and board level. 

Once assembled, PCBs and other electrical components can be completely encapsulated using TECHNOMELT^® low pressure molding materials, which offers streamlined and cost-effective moisture protection for electronics and an alternative to traditional potting techniques. The spectrum of corrosion control and device protection options from Henkel ensures electronical devices live up to their long-term use expectations.

Protecting Devices

Henkel has developed a complete portfolio of with silicone and epoxy materials for waterproofing electronics that help seal and protect modern consumer devices and systems from the damaging effects of electromagnetic interference, fluids, corrosive elements, shock, and vibration. Whether for bonding and sealing, gasketing, or encapsulation, our range of products designed for waterproofing electronic devices provide reliable and high-quality protection.

Cooling Devices

For years, Henkel has been trusted to provide thermal management materials for cooling devices. In order to protect electronic devices from extreme temperatures and heat dissipation, our thermal management portfolio includes award-winning formulations that facilitate improved performance and essential cooling functions.
