Industrial Bonding of Thermoplastic and

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has devel-
oped a process for joining different poly-

required strength.
Multipart components made from ther-
mosets and thermoplastics have been
a standard feature of the plastics indus-

 Manufacturing Gaskets and Molded

© Berger S2B GmbH

Parts Using Water Jet Technology
Choosing the right production process is
a key factor if high-quality gaskets and
molded parts are to be manufactured effi-
ciently. Berger S2B has invested in a high-
purity water system with seven heads with
the aim of expanding its range of produc-
tion techniques and its product offering.
Complex shapes, miniaturization, a vari-
ety of different materials, shorter times-
to-market, and pressures on costs are all
factors that frequently affect the develop-
ment of gaskets and/or molded parts. The
prototyping phase is generally followed by
production, and this is where Berger S2B
is using its new water jet system, along-
side the existing plotters, kiss-cutters, and
die-cutters.
The STM 2035 Premiumcut high-purity
water system, which has seven cutting
heads, can produce components with the
most complex structures quickly and ef-
ficiently from almost any material to a
high standard of quality. Using DXF files,
it is possible to cut parts to a tolerance of
± 0.1 mm. The quality of the cuts is deter-
mined by the operating speed of the ma-
chine, which distinguishes between sep-
aration, quality, fine, and precision cuts.
The advantage of this process for preci-
sion gaskets and molded parts is that no
heat is generated and, therefore, there are
no changes in the structure of the materi-
al at the edges.
Processing a wide variety of materials
From a cost perspective, other benefits in-
clude the fact that no tools and reworking
are needed and that highly efficient use
can be made of the materials. This is an
Water jet system with seven heads
increasingly important consideration with
the current emphasis on sustainability.
Almost any material can be processed,
because abrasive cutting is also possible.
For example, the system can cut elastomer
and rubber parts made of EPDM, silicone,
PUR, NBR, natural rubber, SBR, chloro-
prene, FKM, and IIR, together with films,
multilayer materials, and rubberized fab-
rics. The process is also suitable for fib-
er gasket materials, thermoplastics, cel-
lulose compounds, foams, expanded rub-
ber, cellular rubber, and high-temperature
materials made from glass, ceramic, and
cork. //

Quality Assurance Documentation Ensures the

Safety of Electric Cars
More and more seal components manufactured using functional
films perform a system-related function in products. As a result,
a high standard of quality and corresponding documentation are
required. All major technological developments are characterized
by setbacks. This is true of electric cars, where battery fires, for ex-
ample, have been a problem. In many respects, these vehicles rep-
resent uncharted territory. A correspondingly large quantity of de-
velopment work is involved, together with the verification of ide-
al solutions. The thermal management of the vehicles, which are
used in all the climate regions in the world, remains one of the key
challenges. If a battery fire occurs, the investigation into the causes
covers the entire value chain. The aim is to discover what brought
about the fire and how the problem can be resolved quickly. Qual-
ity management data is used for this purpose, which should ideal-
ly be available for the entire project, because this is the only way
of locating a problem rapidly and identifying a solution.

Developing the ideal thermal management materials
A project data flow is an important feature of development part-
nerships of the kind that Tec-Joint is often involved in. For the
Swiss company, the data not only form the basis for product and
process improvements and flexible modifications, but also simpli-
fy the rapid identification of causes of complaints. The data flow
begins with the selection of the material and the documentation
of the specified solution. Data from prototype tests confirm that
the approach chosen is the correct one. Production figures dem-
onstrate that the specified quality standards and tolerances have
been met, including the surface finishing system often selected
for processing seals and molded parts based on functional films
and multilayer materials. This also applies to projects and sub-
contract finishing of final and semi-finished components. Dur-
ing the production of batteries, this allows users to be certain
that the thermal management material has been carefully devel-
oped, thoroughly tested, and correctly manufactured. In the qual-

ity management process, these data are then combined with pro-
duction data. According to Tec-Joint, the data allow correspond-
ing solutions to be developed more easily and cases of damage
to be analyzed quickly. Companies with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001
certification that are familiar with the quality requirements of
their industry and supply high-quality products can also provide
end-to-end documentation of the processes. //

Trends and Events

New Adhesives Improve the Integration of

Holographic Films
New UV adhesives for optoelectronics enable the fast and true-color bonding of holographic films in augmented reali-
ty head-up displays. This was demonstrated in joint tests carried out by Delo and Covestro. The automotive industry
and other sectors will benefit from rapid roll-to-roll manufacturing and better integration of the films into holographic
end-use applications.

Head-up displays (HUDs) in vehicle cockpits represent one of the

most important future applications for holographic films such as
Bayfol HX from Covestro. A new development is augmented re-
ality HUDs, in which the projections merge with reality so that
the navigation appears to be displayed directly on the road. In
these HUDs, holographic films are integrated into the windshield,
thus allowing for brighter and larger images while reducing in-
stallation space.
In addition, film technology also offers advantages for vehicle
lighting, for example for the rear lights. Alongside more design
freedom and reduced space requirements, customized holograms

can be designed to increase safety, for example by providing a

warning message that says ‘Stop’ in the driver’s field of vision.
As well as having all this versatility, holographic films are also
thin, lightweight, and completely invisible under so-called off-
bragg conditions – whenever the coupled light does not meet
certain requirements, such as the correct wavelength. The films
usually consist of RGB-sensitive photopolymers on a transpar-
ent carrier film. This is embedded between two protective cov- Vehicle with AR elements
er layers.

Low optical interaction, high strength
A precondition for high component quality is, in particular, low
optical interaction between the adhesive and the photopolymer.
For that reason, the adhesives are chemically adapted in such a
way that they do not shift the absorption into other wavelength
ranges when they are combined with the photopolymer. They
must therefore ensure color fidelity under all conditions.
Until now, mainly silicones have been used to fix the film layers.
Silicones are versatile and high-performance materials. However,
this is offset by lower strength, slower curing, and, in some cases,
strong outgassing. What is more, they emit particles to their sur-
roundings during curing. Due to the potential impact on adjacent
manufacturing processes, many automotive suppliers are striving
to achieve silicone-free production. According to the companies,
the Photobond UV acrylates tested by Delo and Covestro show a
highly improved outgassing behavior compared to silicones and
reach their full strength within seconds under UV light. //

Adhesive from plastic bags could be made
possible by a new research approach.
Since the start of the year there has been
a ban on plastic carrier bags in Germany,
with the exception of very thin bags made
of plastic less than 15 micrometers thick.
In 2019, every person in Germany used on
average 36 of these bags. There is current-
ly very little incentive to reuse the bags
California (Berkeley, USA) have set them-
selves the target of transforming the plas-
tic bags and the material they are made
of (polyethylene,PE) into a higher-quality
product, and they have already achieved
success.
Option of many different adhesive
applications
PE itself does not have good adhesive prop-
erties. The team of researchers headed by
John Hartwig (Chair in Organic Chemis-
try at the University of California, Berkeley)
therefore wanted to discover whether func-
tionalization using hydroxyl and ketone
alyst for this purpose. The result was a PE
compound that retained the original prop-
erties of the plastic, but also adhered firmly
to metal substrates, for example, and could
be painted. The addition of only a relative-
ly small quantity of the functional groups
increased the adhesion of PE twenty-fold.
The modified PE retains its original proper-
ties and could therefore be used in the fu-
ture for a variety of adhesive applications.
The process is not yet cost-effective enough
for industrial use, but the research find-
ings represent an important milestone on
the route to recycling plastics into sustain-
able, high-quality products. //

Recyclable Packaging Films Made of Monomaterial
Four Fraunhofer institutes are developing a recyclable monomaterial film that combines all the properties necessary for
product protection. The aim is to replace multilayer films, which can hardly be recycled.
The many advantages of plastic packaging
have contributed to its widespread use in
recent decades and have made it an indis-
pensable part of everyday life. At the same
time, however, packaging waste also con-
tributes significantly to the accumulation
of plastics in the environment. If waste is
not properly disposed of, its long persis-
tence will hide the risk of accumulation
of the corresponding materials in the en-
vironment, with negative effects on wild-
life and even humans.
Single-grade disposables can be easi-
ly separated and recycled, provided they
are disposed of correctly. More problem-
atic are so-called multilayer films, which
are made up of several polymer layers that
are practically inseparable from each oth-
er. Due to their outstanding properties,
such composite films are mainly used for
packaging in the food sector.
For these materials, the only practical op-
tion at the end of the product life cycle
is thermal recycling, which, however, is
not an ecologically desirable solution, al-
though it is preferable to disposal in sim-
ple landfills or even shipping abroad. The
focus of current developments is therefore
on monomaterials. The first approaches

being offered on the market for selected
applications.
Customized product properties
The recycling of plastic packaging, also in
the sense of the circular economy and an
associated equivalent use as the original
product, is therefore also the focus of a pro-
ject currently being carried out by the Ger-
man Fraunhofer Society. The consortium
consists of the Fraunhofer Institutes for Or-
ganic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plas-
ma Technology FEP in Dresden, for Silicate
Research ISC in Würzburg, for Process En-
gineering and Packaging IVV in Freising,
and for Environmental, Safety and Ener-
gy Technology UMSICHT in Oberhausen.
Under the coordination of the Fraunhofer
IVV, these four institutes are researching
to develop a completely recyclable mono-
material film that meets all the require-
ments of the packaging industry. These in-
clude mechanical properties, for example
to ensure the stability of stand-up pouch-
es, as well as requirements for the barri-
er effect with regard to gases, vapors, and
aromatic substances.

has been newly developed by the Ger-
man start-up Teu2tec in Gütersloh, ena-
bles fast 3D printing of large-format ob-
jects from any type of granulate using the

For this purpose, the system uses clas-
sic two-component polyurethane binders
with fast curing times and granules with
grain sizes of up to 2 mm. According to
the company, the fast curing of the mate-
rial at less than 10 s ensures both econom-

Among other things, the monomaterials films
combine stability and a barrier effect.
The central idea of the project is to sep-
arate the property profile of the polymer
granulate to be extruded from the lat-
er product properties of the film by spe-
cifically modifying the film material af-
terwards. Compared to the solutions al-
ready available, it is possible to increase
the stiffness as required and thus save ma-
terial. For this purpose, technologies are
used that can be applied in-line to the film
extrusion. According to the project part-
ners, this enables the production of recy-
clable films while still maintaining the
previous production costs. //

sign freedom. By adapting the binders and
materials used, the product properties can
also be flexibly adjusted. All products to
be manufactured can therefore be made to
cure either elastically or firmly, the com-
pany adds.
Printing process
The company reports that the special de-
sign of the printing head also enables the
printing of high-viscosity pastes. Due
to the pot life of less than 10 s, printing
 speeds of up to 300 mm/s and a mass flow of up to
100 g/s can be achieved. The layer height can be ad-
justed from 3 mm to 12 mm, which not only enables
fast printing processes, but also – due to the low
layer height – makes it possible to produce optical-
ly complex components. At 2200 x 2200 x 2000 mm,
the volume is large enough to be used, for example,
to design furniture or complete playground equip-
ment for urban development.
In an initial test series, the team already succeed-

The Fraunhofer IGCV has worked together with the VDMA to publish guidelines on the
flexible use of collaborative robots, or cobots. The guidelines provide a clear and practical
insight into successful human-robot collaboration.

The guidelines help with the integration of flexible
collaborative robots.
Human-robot collaboration (HRC) systems are rare-
ly found in small and medium-sized enterprises
(SMEs). Improved access to new applications in ro-
botics will help to overcome the challenges involved
in using collaborative robots. The Fraunhofer Insti-
tute for Casting, Composite and Processing Technol-
ogy IGCV has collaborated in this area with the Ger-
man Mechanical Engineering Industry Association
(VDMA) as part of the German ‘Mittelstand 4.0’ pro-
ject, which is aimed at SMEs. In February 2022, the
two organizations published joint guidelines with
the aim of giving future users a clear, practical in-
sight into the successful integration of HRC.
Over recent years, huge progress has been made
in the field of HRC. The benefits are obvious: the
standards have been defined, a wide variety of
components for implementing HRC systems are al-

is well known. Companies that have already auto-

Cleanliness in
Submicrometer and
Atomic Percent Range
Particulate and filmic component cleanliness must be achieved reliably and efficiently in series
production, especially when manufacturing, joining and coating technologies change. In parallel,
requirements are growing due to ever stricter regulatory specifications. In addition to cleaning and
drying processes designed to meet specific requirements and suitable technology, the software and
the cleaning environment must also be adapted accordingly.

Whether production equipment for the
semi-inductor industry, biotechnology,
laser and sensor technology, devices for
measuring and analysis technology, com-
ponents for accumulators and fuel cells,
optical systems or metal cutting tools, the
requirements for performance and relia-
bility are extremely high. This not only
leads to high demands in terms of pro-
duction precision of the parts, but also
their cleanliness. For medical technol-
ogy products such as implants, instru-
ments, cannulae and endoscopes, partic-
ulate and film-type contamination from
manufacturing processes is an essential
criterion due to regulatory specifications.
Moreover, there is a trend for miniaturisa-

For selection of the suitable cleaning sys-

looked at is whether the system is to be

tem. The cleaning chemicals as well as
the optimal process technologies are also
specifically chosen for the application and
the contaminants to be eliminated. Pro-

cy and intensity to the requirements of
different parts to be cleaned. With parts
that present complex geometries, capillary
structures or porous surfaces, such as for
example sintered metal components or ad-
ditive manufactured components, the PPC
method comes into play. Features such as
multi-side overflow in all wash and rinse
tanks as well as the immersion/spray
rinse technology specially developed for
ultrafine cleaning systems contribute to
the reliable meeting of very severe clean-
liness specifications (Figure 4).
The decision which parts are taken to
which wash and rinse tanks as well the
part-specific process parameters such as
temperatures, ultrasonic output and fre-
quency, intensity of PPC, dwell time in
the various wash and rinse tanks, are
defined during the process development
phase. Depending on the complexity and
heat absorption capacity of the parts, dry-
ing is mostly done using infrared or vacu-
um technology. The resulting part-specif-
ic cleaning programs are stored in the ma-
chine controller. The software-controlled
implementation of the cleaning sequence
plays a decisive role in this context. It en-
sures among other things that the speci-
fied dwell times in wash and rinse tanks
are precisely observed, and that prior-
itized sequences – e.g. for very fragile
parts – can be programmed.
The optimal system and process solu-
tion from a cleanliness and economic ef-
ficiency point of view can be determined
through cleaning trials with original parts
in Ecoclean’s and UCM’s precision clean-
ing technology centres. //

Circular Economy and

Adhesive Bonding
Technology, Part 3
How can adhesive bonding technology contribute to the circular economy? The third and final part
of the series of articles based on a study by Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and
Advanced Materials IFAM is devoted to the various strategies in the field of adhesives and adhesive
bonding technology with regard to resource efficiency and recycling.

Andreas Groß, Bernd Mayer, Katharina Haag

Adhesive formulations
The 'adhesive' itself can also contribute
to resource efficiency. In terms of circu-
lar economy-friendly adhesive formula-
tions, recyclates can be suitable raw ma-
terials for adhesives. Since adhesives are
typically needed in medium quantities, re-
cyclates made from polyethylene tereph-
thalate (PET) from bottles, polyamide (PA)
from used textiles or polyurethanes (PUR)
from mattresses or car upholstery, for ex-
ample, can be partially chemically reac-
ted with polyols. Oligomers with alcohol
end groups are formed in the process. If
necessary, even the 'stickies' can be used
here, which are produced during paper re-
cycling and partly come from paper adhe-
sives. These can be used as raw materials
for various adhesives such as reactive and
non-reactive polyurethanes, hot-melt ad-
hesives, epoxy resins, especially cationic
curing ones, or polyacrylates.
Consistent raw material quality is an es-
sential prerequisite here. Alternatively,
plastic waste can be used to produce a
powder that can be used as a lightweight
filler for adhesives instead of mineral com-
ponents such as chalk or quartz powder.
The binding of CO 2 under mild condi-
tions would be made possible by suitable
catalysts. The recycling of used adhesives,
on the other hand, is as sensible as the re-
cycling of printing ink in paper recovery,
which is why the adhesive should have
little effect on the joined part after sep-
aration.
Renewable raw materials
Furthermore, bio-based adhesives are al-
ready being used today in certain mass
applications [1]. However, many of the
necessary property profiles of synthet-
ic adhesives cannot yet be reproduced
by bio-based adhesives, which still lim-
its their applicability. Nevertheless, ad-
hesives are an ideal product group for
the use of renewable raw materials. The
moderate quantities are sufficient so that
the raw material synthesis could be eco-
nomically feasible and the ecological im-
pact large enough. The development of
renewable raw materials for widespread
utilisation in adhesives is well on its way,
but also requires enormous research to
reach the level of fully synthetic adhe-
sives. Degradable adhesives based on
various renewable materials such as
starch, cellulose or proteins have long
been used industrially, for example in
food labelling.
Product design suitable for the
circular economy
During the disassembly of adhesively
bonded products, cohesion-related influ-
ences are preferred [2]. These are par-
ticularly targeted on the basis of local
stimuli such as heating and mechanical
overloading. With chemically curing ad-
hesives, softening of the polymer adhe-
sive layer can also be achieved by swell-
ing. Another possibility is the degrada-
tion of the polymer network. The user of
the adhesively bonded product and the
recycler must be aware of the disassem-
bly option provided by the manufacturer
(Figure 1). This also applies analogously
to repair processes. Digital information
sources make it technically possible to
pass on these specifications. In the me-
chanical recycling of plastic parts, it is
helpful if the adhesive is as compatible as
possible with the plastics. As a necessary
supplement to mechanical recycling and
as a preferred alternative to purely en-
ergetic recycling, chemical (raw materi-
al) recycling opens up a forward-looking
perspective for adhesively bonded joints
with plastic joining partners – including
those that may still be contaminated with
adhesive and paint [3].

Disassembly processes of
adhesively bonded products

Disassembly processes of adhesively

bonded products (Table 1) for raw materi-
al recovery or repair will be essential fo-
cal points of the development process and
product testing in the future. From micro-
electronics to large structures in the build-
ing industry, disassembly requirements
should be listed in future specifications
for product designs that are compatible
with the circular economy and have an
impact on the ecological balance sheet.

adjustments, even minor ones such as cus-
tomising products according to customer
requirements, can be made in the exist-
ing process chain without having to build
a completely new product line with the
corresponding infrastructure. Combined
with an increasing degree of digitalisa-
tion, adhesive bonding technology will en-
able modern, future-proof process chains
and products.
Dimensioning and adhesive
application
In the product development process, the
amount of resources used must always be
critically questioned. This concerns the
question of which quantity of which ma-
terial is actually needed for the product to
fulfil its function safely. The definition of
realistic requirement profiles is decisive
for this. To prevent overdimensioning of
adhesively bonded joints, the requirement
profiles on which the design of an adhe-
sively bonded joint is based must be de-
fined realistically, i.e., adapted to the load
cases that actually occur.
The use of adhesive bonding technology
can contribute to increasing the longevity
of products, i.e. the extension of the prod-
uct life cycle phase 'utilisation'. This can
also be achieved by developing adhesive-
ly bonded products with optimised ageing
resistance. Among other things, optimised
16 adhesion 2 I 22
Figure 3 > The product-related translation in the interplay of the players in
the adhesive bonding technology life cycle
surface treatment processes can be used for
this, which specifically adjust or improve
the adhesion between the surfaces of the
joined parts and the adhesive [2]. Know-
ledge of the optimised properties can then
in turn be taken into account in the design.
After precise knowledge of the load cas-
es as well as the surface properties of the
parts to be joined, the next logical step is
an application technique that is adapted
to the adhesive used and the specific re-
quirements of the product, such as process
times, geometry, etc. If optimised applica-
tion techniques are used to apply exactly
the required amount of adhesive only at
points defined by the design, the amount
of adhesive used can be reduced and op-
timally utilised. This results in material
and weight savings and also increases re-
source efficiency.
Digitisation and adhesive bonding
technology
Digitalisation supports decisions in the
use of adhesive bonding technology. Digi-
tal tools (Figure 2) and the availability of
material and process-related data along
the entirety of the process chain within
the framework of FAIR data concepts [5]
will in future allow developers of adhesive-
ly bonded joints to identify environmental-
ly friendly optima in terms of material, cost
and energy efficiency across the entire life
cycle as part of a holistic approach.

uct and process information and pass it

twins, for example, enable the selection
of an optimally suitable disassembly pro-
cess. Adhesively bonded products can be
fitted with an RFID chip, via which all
data on the materials and adhesives can
be retrieved for disassembly. The high ex-
perimental verification effort required for
the process integration of adhesive bond-
ing technology into a production process
can also be reduced with the help of suit-
ably calibrated, digital material and com-
ponent models. Verifiable lifetime predic-
tions that reduce maintenance costs, lead
to a more resource-efficient replacement
of wear parts and significantly increase
the safety gain require the development of
structural health monitoring (SHM) sys-
tems [6] [7]. The necessary sensor technol-
ogy and the ways in which this informa-
tion can be stored and read are the subject
of current research activities.
In addition to their material properties, ma-
terials are used in adhesively bonded joints
in conjunction with their data and espe-
cially metadata. In terms of a holistic view,
this makes the inclusion of 'end of life' pro-
cedures already visible in the product life
cycles 'development' and 'manufactur-
ing'. Communication of FAIR (meta) data
(Figure 3) across generations is ensured by
the standardised summary of textual-con-
ceptual and spatial-pictorial information in
ontologies, which also include the temporal
dimension. In contrast to the past, histor-
ically developed material or actor-related
information will be transmitted digitally in
the future. Whereas materials have been in
the foreground up to now, their inseparable
linkage with data for all product life cycle
phases will gain in importance in the fu-
ture. Not only the ecological value, but also
the economic value of these connections
far exceeds the material value, especially
in the adhesive bonding technology sense.
Outlook
The circular economy and life cycle as-
sessment are already implicit in adhesive-
ly bonded products today. In the future,
it will be interactively experienced by
the respective actor – be it in production,
in application, in repair or in the careful
disposal of adhesively bonded joints – in
the aspects relevant to him and made ac-
cessible for comparative considerations.
In this way, the view of sustainable ad-
hesive bonding technology includes the
three equally supporting pillars of sus-
tainability: Economic, ecological and so-
cial aspects come into play in sustainable
products in a holistic life cycle approach.
Adhesive technology has the potential to
meet these new requirements with tech-
nical innovations. In the future, value
chains of adhesively bonded products
must be considered holistically in the
product life cycles 'manufacture', 'utili-
sation' and 'end-of-life'. This includes, in
particular, making the 'end-of-life' con-
cept of adhesively bonded products an
integral part of product development as
early as the product planning and de-
sign phase. These new challenges result-
ing from closed-loop thinking therefore
require even more intensive communi-
cation and cooperation in the future and
thus even closer networking of all play-
ers along value chains. Raw materials
and adhesive manufacturers, adhesive us-
ers, product manufacturers, end custom-
ers and recyclers as part of the 'adhesive
bonding' system along the life cycle of ad-
hesively bonded products will form future
value creation cycles. The holistic consid-
eration of adhesively bonded products
with regard to ecological improvements
along value chains or cycles is made pos-
sible by the life cycle assessment (LCA) as
currently the most comprehensive assess-
ment method for environmental impacts.
The view 'from the material to the safe
product' combines the aspects of safety
and long-term stability with the require-
ments of circular economy and eco-bal-
ance effectiveness in the sense of sustain-
ability of products. In this area of conflict,
adhesive bonding technology has the nec-
essary technological and ecological per-
formance capacity and thus offers the po-
tential to become the leading joining tech-
nology of the 21st century. Adhesive bond-
ing technology, the circular economy and
life cycle assessment are therefore not con-
tradictory. On the contrary: they comple-
ment each other. //

UV-Moisture-Curing
Adhesive Systems for
the Automotive and
Electronics Industries
UV adhesives cure in seconds and achieve high initial adhesion directly after crosslinking.
This makes them particularly interesting for high-volume applications. However, not every
component geometry allows pure UV polymerization. New possibilities are opening up with
UV-moisture-curing acrylic systems that do not require any thermal post-treatment.
Eike Leipold, Katharina Jörg, Heiko Fauser
Adhesives are becoming increasingly pop-
ular in all industrial sectors, serving a
wide range of applications from large-vol-
ume potting applications to micro-dosed
bonding. For products and manufacturing
concepts requiring high speed curing to
accommodate large production volumes,
UV adhesives are typically used because
they cure in seconds. This adhesive tech-
nology is in demand due to the nature of
the adhesives’ cured and uncured physi-
cal properties. High adhesion is achieved
immediately after polymerization. UV ad-
hesives can provide controlled flow and
dispensing precision. However, not eve-
ry component geometry allows pure UV
polymerization. In areas shadowed from
UV light, a secondary curing step is re-
quired to ensure complete crosslinking
of the adhesive. This article discusses
the properties and functional principles
of UV-moisture-curing acrylate adhesive
systems. They offer a secondary curing
option without the need for downstream
thermal processes.
How UV-moisture-curing acrylate
systems work
Dual-cure acrylate systems with second-
ary moisture curing capability are sol-
18 adhesion 2 I 22
vent-free, one-component adhesives. The
chemical reaction of the adhesive can be
divided into two functional principles.
The primary crosslinking of these spe-
cially formulated UV adhesives is based
on free-radical crosslinking polymeri-
zation, which is started by excitation of
the photoinitiator with a curing light of
the appropriate wavelength and intensity.
In the system addressed here, the use of
LED wavelengths of 365 nm, 405 nm or the
UV-A spectrum is the appropriate process
parameter for targeted curing. This pho-
toinitiator, acting as a starter molecule in-
corporated into the adhesive formulation,
initiates radical crosslinking of mono-
mers and the acrylate groups of the iso-
cyanate acrylates with the acrylate base
within seconds, forming a polymer struc-
ture. As a result, an initial bond strength
is built up.
The isocyanate groups of the isocyanate
acrylates can then be further crosslinked
in the secondary mechanism, without fur-
ther energy input, by the humidity in the
air. As shown in the table (Table 1), the
final bond strength can be achieved af-
ter a few days by this secondary mecha-
nism. Thus, UV-curing systems can fully
cure even without direct irradiation in the
shadow zones. The curing speed of mois-
ture post-curing can be influenced by the
relative humidity.
Technical properties and resulting
process possibilities
In order to highlight the areas of applica-
tion of dual-curing acrylate systems in the
next section, it is first necessary to take a
closer look at the physical properties in the
liquid and solid state. The modifiable vis-
cosity range of these UV acrylates can ex-
tend from low-viscosity products to stable,
gel-like formulations. Low-viscosity, New-
tonian-behavior products, for example,
are shear rate-independent here and can
be used with consistent viscosity ranges.
This is particularly important for the user
to know if he has to change process pa-
rameters without affecting the viscosity
and thus the flow behavior of the adhesive.
Structural viscous, shear-thinning adhe-
sives have the advantage that the user of
these systems can, for example, signifi-
cantly influence the flow properties with
the parameters of temperature and shear
rate (pressure, metered volume, needle di-
ameter, etc.). For example, it is possible to
meter a stable adhesive with a high thixot-
ropy index specifically through its shear-
thinning properties as an edge bonder

This technology opens up many fields of

application on electronic circuit boards,
where the upper temperature limit is be-
ing reduced as more temperature-sensi-
tive substrates and components are being
used. Adhesive systems with thermal cur-
ing catalysts typically crosslink at temper-
atures of 80 °C or higher, and often need to
be shipped and stored frozen. Isocyanate
acrylates, on the other hand, can simp-
ly be stored and shipped cool, or even at
room temperature.
A variety of suitable applications for UV/
moisture curing adhesive systems can be
found on printed circuit boards. These ad-
hesives can be used as medium viscosity,
flexible underfills, or to bond SMD com-
ponents to the PCB. This can be accom-
plished by flashing the visible liquid ad-
hesive with UV light to tack the compo-
nent in place, and allowing atmospheric
humidity to complete the cure. Thermal
curing is no longer the only option for
bonding opaque SMD components.

acrylate adhesives are available in formu-
lation options that differ in terms of flex-
ibility, modulus of elasticity and tear re-
sistance. They offer a broad based spec-
trum of properties for the optimal pairing
of adhesive and performance.
The use of isocyanate acrylates also of-
fers advantages when potting electronic
boards into housings, as well as plugs and
connectors (Figure 2). Faster cycle times
can be achieved, as conventional potting
compounds rely on slower room tempera-
ture curing or a combination of room tem-
perature cure and thermal curing for bet-
ter crosslinking.
In the field of electromobility, there are
more and more interfaces to electronic
applications, as the number of sensors,
controllers and electronic connections is
multiplying immensely. Assembly of in-
dividual components is being replaced by
integration of modular sub-assemblies.

since they are extremely long-lasting, and their shore hardness values and flow properties are
customizable.
Peter Walter
After a tentative start, electromobility is
taking off. According to a current study
from Pricewaterhouse Coopers, more than
twice as many electric cars were sold in
2021 than in the previous year, with three
million electrically powered vehicles new-
ly approved for use in China alone. Sales
figures rose in Europe as well: by 76 %
in England and by a full 83 % in Germa-
ny [1]. Analysts estimate that every oth-
er small car will be electric by 2026. By
2035, electrically driven cars may have fi-
nally unseated those powered by combus-
tion engines [2].
Efforts in the automotive industry to take
electromobility to the next level have
shifted into high gear. A few hurdles have
to be overcome on road to mass produc-
tion of electric vehicles, however. One ma-
jor challenge is how to effectively dissi-
pate the heat generated in the many com-
ponents while the battery is being charged
and when the vehicle is on the road.
This kind of thermal management is espe-
cially critical for the battery serving as the
power source. Lithium-ion batteries only
deliver their best performance at temper-
atures between 20 and 35 °C. Consequent-
ly, to ensure acceptable performance and
life span, they need to be prevented from
overheating. The electric motor and power
22 adhesion 2 I 22
electronics generate heat as well. To avoid
heat-related damage or failure, the ther-
mal energy released needs to be dissipat-
ed quickly and effectively.
Thermally conductive gap fillers play a
key role in dissipating excess heat, fill-
ing the space between the assembly that
needs to be temperature-controlled and
the heat exchanger or heat sink, and thus
lowering the thermal transfer resistance.
In so doing, they enhance thermal cou-
pling between the components (Figure 1).
Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are
therefore becoming increasingly attrac-
tive to car makers as they develop elec-
tric vehicles for mass production.
Thermally conductive silicone
products
The choice of TIM and its type of product
– whether paste, curable gap filler, adhe-
sive, prefabricated pad – depends on the
application and the prospective operating
conditions.
TIMs can be commonly made from poly-
mers containing a considerable amount of
thermally conductive inorganic substanc-
es as filler. The base polymer may be an
organic polymer or a silicone. Achieving
the desired thermal conductivity requires
filler loads well in excess of 90 %. The fill-
ers are typically metal oxides, such as alu-
minum oxide, which ensures that the TIM
remains electrically insulating, a proper-
ty which is essential for use in close prox-
imity to live components.
Silicone-based TIMs, i.e., heat-conducting
materials comprising a matrix of cured or
uncured silicones, have a long, success-
ful track record in power electronics as-
semblies. Silicones are widely known for
their aging resistance – even upon expo-
sure to high or low temperatures. Unlike
organic polymers, they undergo very little
change in physical or technical properties
over the temperature range -45 to +180 °C
and above. They are also more flame-re-
sistant than organic polymers. A further
characteristic of silicones is their low sur-
face energy. Liquid silicones, for instance,
will wet nearly all solid surfaces.
This makes silicone-based thermal gap
fillers easier to work with, because they
will fill even the tiniest irregularities in
the substrate surfaces. Aging resistance
and flame resistance are also the main ar-
guments in favor of using thermally con-
ductive silicone products in vehicles fitted
with all-electric drives – even for assem-
blies operating at temperatures which do
not necessarily require silicone.
 Easy application

Many silicone-based TIMs are available

in paste form. Because these TIMs are
shear-thinning compounds, they will
not sag when at rest, but will flow when
placed under shear (Figure 2). They can
be dispensed onto the heat sink in the
form of a bead. The assembly to be cooled
is then mounted onto this and pressed
into place. Pourable types are also avail-
able in the form of resins and encapsu-
lants.
Some paste-like silicone TIMs – known as
silicone pastes – do not cure after appli-
cation, while others cure in the gap bet-
ween the parts. The latter include silicone
products and silicone adhesives known as
gap fillers. Thermally conductive silicone
pastes and gap fillers are ideal for applica-
tions in which heat sinks and heat sourc-
es are additionally mechanically coupled
to each other.
The use of thermally conductive silicone
adhesives obviates the need for other
means of fixation, as they not only provide

thermal coupling between the parts, but
also bond them together. Silicone pastes
maintain their consistency after appli- Figure 1 > Gap fillers are used to replace the air – a poor heat conductor – in the gap between

Applications I Thermally Conductive Adhesives
limited to small substrates and thin film
thicknesses. Thicknesses after pressing
should not exceed 100 to 150 µm.
Silicone-based gap fillers and silicone ad-
hesives undergo a change of consistency
as a result of a platinum-catalyzed, addi-
tion-curing reaction. This yields a relative-
ly soft, elastically deformable pad in the
gap that fills out the contours of the sur-
faces exactly. Such gap fillers can even
out surfaces with roughness values in the
millimeter range, which occur especial-
ly with large substrates. This distinguish-
es them from prefabricated pads, which
have a specific thickness and are therefore
unable to accommodate large tolerances.
Pourable, thermally conductive potting
compounds are used for complex surfac-
es, where they transport the heat to the
heat sink and, at the same time, protect the
surfaces from environmental factors. Such
products are applied by dipping or trickling.
Optimized for electromobility
The Wacker chemical group has taken
products with a successful track record
in power electronics assemblies and has
used them to develop numerous silicone-
based TIMs for the electromobility sec-
tor. The company is continually optimiz-
ing these products, and especially their
workability, to meet the requirements of
mass production.
The primary requirement here has been
to adjust the rheological properties of the
paste-like compounds so that they can
24 adhesion 2 I 22
cope with high-speed, highly automated
car production processes. The relevant pa-
rameters are the molecular chain lengths
and the type of liquid silicone polymers,
as well as the size and shape of the filler
particles. Wacker has conducted extensive
tests to characterize the functionality of
the products in its TIM portfolio – and has
fine-tuned their workability in collabora-
tion with major equipment makers.
The highly loaded silicone systems are
much more resistant to sedimentation
than conventional products and can be
supplied in 200-liter drums. They can be
readily conveyed over long distances on
suitable handling equipment, can be dis-
pensed at high rates (up to 50 ml/s) and
support a rapid, automated assembly at
low, reproducible pressure. The result is
a throughput rate of up to 6 kg material
per minute.
Applications in electric cars
Electric vehicles currently use lithium-ion
batteries as energy storage. These are usu-
ally installed below the passenger com-
partment, where they occupy most of the
floor space.
A thermally conductive gap filler is needed
to provide thermal coupling between the
battery modules and the heat-dissipation
system. It must be aging-resistant to pre-
vent premature battery failure and must
lend itself to rapid application to large sur-
faces, making workability key for this fill-
er. For such applications, Wacker has de-

veloped gap fillers from the Semicosil 96x
TC series, which can be dispensed rapidly
and permit short cycle times, even where
large substrates are mass produced.
A further source of heat in electric vehi-
cles is the power electronics. Their task is
to transform and regulate the electric cur-
rent. Inverters, for example, convert direct
current into alternating current and vice
versa, while voltage converters change the
level of the voltage. Power module com-
ponents such as IGBTs (integrated gate bi-
polar transistors) can reach temperatures
greater than 100 °C in operation. The pow-
er losses can exceed 100 W/cm² – more
than the surface heating power density
of a stovetop turned to high. Overheating
may damage the sensitive semiconductor
structures and so lead to aging and even-
tually to component failure.
Such failures can be prevented by active-
ly cooling the printed board and IGBT as-
sembly. At operating temperatures above
150 °C, silicone-based TIMs are the mate-
rials of choice for thermal coupling, be-
cause organic polymers would be unable
to withstand the heat. Depending on the
design, effective component cooling can
be achieved with thermally conductive
gap fillers from the Semicosil 96xx TC se-
ries or heat-sink pastes, e.g., Semicosil
Paste 40 TC.
Silicones also cool electric motors
In conventional vehicles, the necessary
torque is provided by a combustion en-
gine, but in electric vehicles the power is
delivered by a compact, high-performance
three-phase motor. Heat is again generat-
ed and needs to be dissipated for various
reasons: on the one hand, the wire enam-
els coated onto the stator windings need
to be protected against heat-induced ag-
ing and, on the other, permanent-mag-
net synchronous motors contain magnet-
ic materials made from rare earth metals
and can lose their magnetization at tem-
peratures above 130 °C. The heat dissipat-
ed from the electric motor can be readily
deployed elsewhere – to heat the passen-
ger compartment and the windshield, for
instance. This not only protects the bat-
tery, but also enables longer driving rang-
es, especially in winter. Manufacturers of
electric motors are currently working on
different heat-dissipation concepts. It is
still unclear which one will prevail.
However, it is clear that thermally conduc-
tive silicone products can play a key role.
One solution, for example, could be to dis-
sipate the stator’s waste heat via the mo-
tor laminations with the aid of thermally
conductive silicone resins such as Silres
H 68 TC. This product has such a low vis-
cosity at 60 °C that it can easily be trick-
led into the gap between hairpins and sta-
tor laminations (Figure 3). Tests are also
being conducted to establish whether the
heat can be transported along the copper
hairpins to the heat sinks via a thermally
conductive silicone encapsulant such as
Elastosil RT 7xxx TC.
Conclusions and outlook
A number of development and testing ap-
proaches are being applied to thermal man-
agement in electric cars. It will be some
time before standards have been accepted
and technical solutions established once
and for all. However, it is already apparent
that silicone-based thermal interface mate-
rials will play a key role in future thermal
regulation, as they can be readily adapted
to a wide variety of processing and manu-
facturing methods, making them the TIM
of choice for future mass production of
electric vehicles. Silicones thus go a long
way toward ensuring that key components
of electromobility, such as batteries, power
electronics and electric motors, function re-
liably for long periods of time. //

Precise Dispensing at the Highest Speeds

In electronics production, there is a demand for increasingly short
cycle times, while at the same time components are becoming
smaller and smaller. Scheugenpflug is meeting these demands with
two newly developed piston dispensers for dispensing very small
quantities and for the highest dispensing speeds. Particularly when
highly viscous materials such as thermally conductive heat trans-
fer adhesives for ECUs or battery systems are used, the material
usually needs to be dispensed as quickly as possible.
According to the manufacturer, the new model DosP DP2001 can
also dispense high-viscosity one-component materials from 0.06 ml

© Scheugenpflug GmbH
to 20 ml and two-component materials from 0.1 to 40 ml up to ten
times more quickly than comparable solutions on the market. Pow-
erful servo drives ensure high dispensing speeds and an optimized
power transfer. This makes the dispenser, which works without a
diaphragm and is particularly pressure stable, suitable for highly
automated production lines. To achieve the high dispensing speeds Highest dispensing speeds even with highly abrasive materials
even with high-viscosity thermally conductive heat transfer adhe-
sives, the DosP DP2001 is fitted with a special static mixing tube
that can withstand the highest dispensing pressures without plas-
tic deformation. 4 ml. This high dispensing accuracy with fast cycle times is made

SLA 3D Printing Resin with a High Level of Detail

Henkel is expanding its range of high-performance photopolymer
resins for VAT polymerization processes. The new resin, which
is called Loctite 3D IND408, has been specially developed for ste-
reolithography technology (SLA) and enables the production of
parts with isotropic properties and low moisture absorption. It
can be used at very fast print speeds. According to the manufac-
turer, the printed parts have fine features and a smooth and
glossy surface finish, making them particularly suitable for de-
sign visualization. The company also points out its excellent ther-
mal performance at temperatures greater than 100 °C. The resin
therefore offers unique properties in the market. The material is
currently available in black color. //

New Structural Bonding Adhesive for Electric
Vehicle Batteries
Dymax has presented its latest adhesive for the assembly of elec-
tric vehicle batteries. The extremely low-shrinkage UV adhesive
called Dymax 9501-F has been specially designed for fixing cy-
lindrical battery cells to plastic bases and holders and, according
to the manufacturer, has excellent bond strength to common sub-
strates such as PC, PC/ABS, nickel-plated steel, and aluminum.

creasing throughput capacity and reducing the overall manufac-
turing and labor costs.
It has also proven to be very reliable in common electric vehicle
tests, such as high-temperature, high-humidity, and thermal
shock tests. The new adhesive is a solvent-free, one-component

Solvay's Adhesion Promoter Receives Award

Solvay's ‘Addibond Polymer’, used as a thin adhe-
sion promoter film between aluminum and adhe-
sives in automotive applications, has received the
'Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label'. The label,
created by the Solar Impulse Foundation, recogniz-
es efficient solutions that are both sustainable and
profitable.
"Optimized adhesion of metal-to-metal bonds ena-
bles vehicle manufacturers to reduce or eliminate
the multitude of fasteners, for example nuts, bolts,
screws or rivets, in aluminum components – a key
factor in lightweighting vehicles for the benefit of
increased fuel and energy efficiency," says Dr
Marie-Pierre Labeau, Metal Treatment Platform
Project Leader at Solvay. "This has led to the need
to improve the reliability of metal-to-metal bonds,
for which the right surface treatment is critical."
Addibond polymers are designed to exploit the light-
weighting potential of aluminum and other light
metals in broader applications, such as construction,
industrial equipment, electronics and aerospace, he
said. At the same time, they meet increased sustain-
ability standards in manufacturing processes, ac-
cording to Solvay. //
