Light-Curable Adhesives, Coatings, Gaskets,
and Masking Materials for Household Appliance Applications |
|
DYMAX offers adhesives, coatings, gaskets, and masking materials for appliance applications that cure instantly with light, eliminating the drying or oven-cure period needed with other assembly methods. Parts can be immediately processed upon cure, speeding up production, increasing throughput, and lowering operation costs. Light-curable materials (LCMs) can be used in the manufacturer and production of white and brown appliances as well as sub-assemblies and components.
| DYMAX light-curable materials can be used in the following components: |
| Handles |
Shelves |
Displays |
| Cabinets |
Panels |
LED Lighting |
| Doors |
Circuitry |
Control Panels |
| Mixer Valves | Plastic Reservoirs | Speaker Assemblies |
