“Shift Towards Low-Odor and Low-Bloom Cyanoacrylate Adhesives”
- Manufacturers are increasingly formulating low-odor and low-bloom adhesives to reduce workplace discomfort and improve user safety
- These adhesives offer better aesthetics, avoiding the white residue ("blooming") seen in traditional cyanoacrylates
- The trend is particularly prominent in sectors such as electronics and medical devices where surface finish and visual appeal are critical
- Their safer chemical profile supports adoption in tightly enclosed or odor-sensitive environments
- For instance, Henkel’s Loctite 401 series is a widely adopted low-bloom adhesive used in smartphone assembly and consumer electronics manufacturing
