Appliance Trade-In Made Easy — How CROWN New Materials’ Tapes Handle It Effortlessly

Recently, with the increasing rollout of appliance trade-in policies, the Ministry of Commerce and three other departments issued the “Notice on Further Improving the Appliance Trade-In Program.” Statistics show that China’s household appliance stock exceeds 3 billion units, and the demand for replacement in both the automotive and appliance sectors is in the trillions of yuan. Driven by both policy guidance and the trade-in boom, adhesive materials — as a key auxiliary in appliance manufacturing — are increasingly becoming an indispensable innovation engine in the appliance industry. With over two decades of experience in the adhesive materials sector, CROWN New Materials is aligning with this trend to provide sustainable bonding solutions for the appliance industry.

The trade-in policy has accelerated growth in smart appliances, particularly cooking devices and smart refrigerators. These appliances often operate under high temperatures, where traditional tapes can fail. To meet this need, CROWN New Materials’ high-performance paper tape demonstrates excellent material compatibility. It not only fulfills basic bonding requirements but also offers an extended temperature resistance range. It can be widely applied in demanding environments such as heating plates, evaporators, and vacuum insulation panels, ensuring long-term, stable adhesion and significantly enhancing overall appliance reliability and lifespan.

In terms of design, the appliance industry is increasingly adopting low surface energy (LSE) materials to enhance product aesthetics and functionality. However, these materials are difficult to bond, and conventional tapes often fail to wet the surface effectively to form a strong adhesion. To address this challenge, CROWN New Materials has introduced high-performance LSE tapes that require no primer and can bond directly to low surface energy materials. This solution overcomes the technical difficulties of bonding challenging surfaces in appliances, enabling more visually appealing and lightweight designs, and significantly enhancing the user experience.

In addition, the surge in appliance replacements has significantly increased product shipments, making effective protection during assembly, transportation, and installation more critical to ensure scratch- and damage-free delivery. CROWN New Materials’ silicone protective films offer high cleanliness, strong adhesion, and excellent venting performance, allowing them to conform tightly to protected surfaces. At the same time, these films are easy to remove without leaving residue and meet environmental standards. They are widely used for protecting appliance display panels, screens, stainless steel, and glass surfaces during shipment. Their outstanding protective performance ensures the safe delivery and high-quality presentation of new appliances.

To better align with appliance manufacturing and assembly processes, the adhesive materials in CROWN New Materials’ appliance industry solutions feature excellent die-cutting performance, efficiently accommodating diverse design requirements, reducing production costs, and improving manufacturing efficiency. With over twenty years of industry expertise and technological experience, CROWN New Materials provides industry users with customized solutions, high-quality products, and rigorous experimental data, while also assembling dedicated project teams to ensure smooth project delivery.
 

Currently, CROWN New Materials’ appliance industry solutions have been successfully applied across the sector, earning recognition and praise from industry users. Looking ahead, CROWN New Materials will continue to innovate and evolve, offering more advanced products and efficient services to support the appliance industry in achieving high quality, smart, and environmentally sustainable development.
