    Henkel Drives Smart Living, Mobility, Hygiene

    With functional material solutions for printed electronics.

    The digital transformation poses a variety of challenges to all industries.

    One of them is surely the pressure to leverage the potential of new technologies to enhance performance.

    At the same time, emerging technologies make new approaches possible: printed electronics evolve the traditional electronics in terms of efficiency and flexibility to open up completely new application fields, from personal hygiene products to smart surfaces for home or mobility applications. Being on top of this development, functional ink plays a key role in printed electronics, transforming a substrate into a conductive surface.

    The new products from Henkel address exactly these needs.

    Loctite ECI 7007 conductive carbon-ink, made for personal hygiene products, lays the foundation for smart diapers while ECI 8000 E&C series enables smart heating solutions for the smart home. Furthermore, stretchable Loctite conductive inks can be processed into the surface of an automotive interior, making it possible to integrate e.g. motion sensors, heating or charging devices directly via the smart surface.

    Printed Electronics: a game-changer for high volume applications
    “While we see an increasing importance of technological innovations in our daily lives, such as the Internet of Things or 5G, industries need to make sure, to keep up with these developments. As electronic components become more cost-efficient and processable in huge quantities, applicational fields multiply while new and evolved technologies open up completely new possibilities – such as printed electronics,” said Stijn Gillissen, Henkel global head of Printed Electronics. “Printed Electronics will impact a variety of industries – from living to hygiene to mobility – which are constantly confronted with new customer demands to become more innovative and digital. Particularly this technology can be the answer for manufacturers and converters especially – but not exclusively when it comes to FMCG.”

    Observing a shift from medium to high volume applications early, Henkel started to bring the technologies forward to leverage the full potential of printed electronics.

    “With functional ink being an integral part of printed electronics, Henkel is able to benefit this development with its expertise and a broad range of functional material innovations,” said Gillissen.

    Loctite functional inks
    With the Henkel Loctite ECI 7007 carbon-based ink Henkel provides a product to actively support the digitalization of the living and hygiene sector. It is made for high-speed production and thus optimally suits the requirements in the processing of FMCGs. The highly flexible ink can be applied on a very thin substrate and functions as a conductor to a moisture sensor for smart diapers. The printed electronics solution detects moisture and informs the caregiver.

    “The innovations in our Loctite-range, optimized for printed electronics, offer various benefits for smart living. Smart diapers, empowered by Henkel functional ink, improve comfort for the wearer, increase caregivers’ efficiency and make the use of diapers more efficient and more sustainable as research implies a significant decrease of diaper use since they will only be changed when needed,” said Gillissen.

    Another innovation for smart homes is empowered by Henkel’s conductive carbon PTC inks Loctite ECI 8000 E&C series. These inks can be printed on almost any surface to create a uniform, self-regulating heater that will never overheat. These very thin printed heaters offer designers new possibilities to integrate heating functionality in places they could not before. Heated surfaces in for example construction & furniture are now possible using this technology.

    “The automotive sector is also an industry which is under the pressure to constantly innovate,” said Gillissen. “Henkel Adhesive Technologies supplies powerful solutions to bring the digitalization of cars one step ahead, as printed electronics make automotive interior smarter than ever before.”

    The stretchable Loctite conductive inks can be thermoformed perfectly matching the requirements of in-molded electronics, which are processed in automotive interiors. With this technology, automotive dashboards without buttons to press are possible: controlling temperature or infotainment via the smart surface.

    Taking printed electronics to the next level – with strong partnerships
    Printed electronic devices require a complex interplay of different components and technologies. Bringing the entire value-chain together, Henkel follows a partnership-approach that unites and connects producers and experts of all related fields.

    Bare Conductive, for instance, is a partner for the development of product solutions in the field of smart surfaces.

    “Together with our partners like Henkel, we leverage class-leading materials science to make any surface smart, transforming what it means to make a smart home, a smart office, a smart city, or a smart car. Creating digital-transformation from unexpected places,” said Matt Johnson, CEO & co-founder of Bare Conductive.

    In cooperation with Quad Industries and Byteflies, a wearable health startup, Henkel is developing smart health patches for people suffering from chronic illnesses. The electronic patches can monitor a patient’s vital data in a less obtrusive way in their home environment thus significantly improving the patient comfort and improving medical treatments.

    Additionally, Henkel builds on a partnership for material-supply with CHASM Advanced Materials, Inc., a supplier of innovative transparent conductive materials and inks, to further boost the company’s portfolio with respect to printed electronics.

    “At Henkel, we rely on a differentiated network of partners. Building on that network, we can provide our customers not only with our products and knowledge but connections to e.g. circuit designers, printing manufacturers or external IoT-providers. Together we are able to leverage the potential of digital transformation across the entire value chain, utilizing the benefits of printed electronics,” said Gillissen.
