Key Hot Melt Adhesive Applications in Electronics Manufacturing

PCB & Circuit Board Assembly

Hot melt adhesives are ideal for securing components on printed circuit boards, providing insulation, and stabilising delicate parts. Protek systems help manufacturers:


• Achieve consistent adhesive placement

• Reduce rework caused by component movement

• Protect sensitive electronics from vibration or shock



Cable & Connector Sealing

Reliable bonding of connectors, cable joints, and wire harnesses ensures product integrity. Our hot melt solutions provide:

• Durable, flexible bonds

• Minimal mess and precise application

• Compatibility with a range of insulating materials



Electronics Packaging

From individual devices to full assemblies, hot melt adhesives secure products for transport and storage. Benefits include:


• Fast setting for high-throughput packaging

• Consistent sealing of enclosures and cartons

• Protection against moisture and dust ingress

From component assembly to packaging and product sealing, our systems deliver reliable, clean, and efficient bonding.


Designed for high-speed production lines, our solutions ensure consistent quality while protecting sensitive electronics throughout the manufacturing process.
