A Comprehensive Overview of CROWN’s Deep-Rooted Solutions for the Home Appliance Industry

As home appliances continue to evolve toward lightweight structures, multi-material integration, and intelligent design, higher requirements are being placed on adhesive materials. These materials must deliver high reliability, broad material compatibility, and multifunctional performance to ensure the long-term, stable operation of various functional modules in home appliances.

In response to these demands, CROWN (www.crown.com.cn) has developed a systematic portfolio of adhesive solutions for the home appliance industry. This portfolio includes high-performance tissue tapes, EPT (acrylic foam tapes), and other product systems, providing long-term, reliable material support for lightweight design, structural integration, and functional implementation in home appliances.

• High-Performance Tissue Tapes

In home appliance applications, key functional components such as evaporators, insulation panels, and heating plates often operate for extended periods under complex conditions, including low temperatures, thermal cycling, and high temperatures. These components typically involve the bonding of multiple substrates—such as metals, foams, and plastics—placing stringent demands on the stability and reliability of adhesive materials.

Adhesives used in these scenarios must therefore maintain stable bonding performance across a wide temperature range and under frequent temperature fluctuations, while also ensuring safety, durability, and long-term reliability.

To address these challenges, CROWN offers a series of high-performance tissue tapes. These products feature excellent flexibility and conformability, delivering high adhesion and strong holding power to reliably meet the bonding requirements of various core appliance components. For high-temperature applications, CROWN also provides specialized high-performance tissue tapes capable of withstanding long-term temperatures of up to 120 °C and peak temperatures of 150 °C, with outstanding holding power at elevated temperatures. These solutions provide dependable bonding support for heat-intensive appliance components.

• EPT (Acrylic Foam Tapes)

Exterior and structural components of home appliances serve protective, supportive, and decorative functions, which impose demanding requirements on adhesive materials. These include high bonding strength, compatibility with multiple substrates, long-term durability and weather resistance, cushioning and vibration damping, as well as a clean and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

CROWN’s EPT (acrylic foam tapes) deliver excellent adhesion and broad material compatibility, with superior conformability that ensures high-quality bonding of exterior components. In addition, these tapes offer outstanding cushioning performance, effectively absorbing impact and reducing the risk of debonding. Their strong weather resistance enables reliable performance in harsh environments. EPT tapes are widely used in applications such as refrigerator door panels, decorative trims, and air-conditioner plastic panels, providing a durable, reliable, and visually refined bonding solution for appliance exteriors.

• Comprehensive Product Portfolio for Home Appliance Applications

Beyond high-performance tissue tapes and EPT (acrylic foam tapes), CROWN has built a diversified product matrix tailored to key appliance components and protection needs. This includes OCA optical adhesives for reliable bonding of appliance displays; PE foam tapes for stable fixation of display windows; single-sided PET tapes for secure fixation during transportation and assembly; and silicone and PU protective films for surface protection during shipment.

With many years of dedicated experience in the home appliance industry, CROWN has accumulated extensive application expertise. Supported by strong R&D capabilities and robust project management, the company is able to provide customized solutions and end-to-end technical support to appliance OEMs, continuously enabling product innovation and high-quality development.
