Durable, Premium Usages in Wearables & Emerging Devices

To create premium wearables and emerging devices, OEMs need a versatile portfolio of innovative materials that can adapt to consumers’ evolving needs. Syensqo provides polymer solutions for a variety of usages in wearable and emerging device applications. From durable structural components to comfortable and resilient watch bands, Syensqo's specialty polymers deliver critical performance properties where manufacturers need them.

Watch Bands

Bands designed for traditional watches or wearable smart devices often display a rough surface finish and yellowing after UV exposure. Additionally, current materials are easily stained and tend to result in damage or breakage after extensive wear. As a result, consumer requirements for next-generation watch bands present OEMs with a unique and challenging checklist of capabilities and characteristics. The best wearable bands are equipped with excellent haptics and high density for a durable, but soft and silky feel. Consumers continue to develop increasingly versatile expectations regarding their smart devices, and accordingly, bands for wearables must be more robust and tear-resistant and must exhibit good stain, UV and chemical resistance. Syensqo offers outstanding material solutions to aid OEMs in achieving high-performance watch bands that appeal to consumers. 

Structural Applications and Components 

In structural applications for wearable and emerging devices, OEMs require choice materials that combine durability, lightweighting benefits, stiffness, impact resistance and processing compatibility. Syensqo's solutions for structural applications and components deliver these essential features to enable the creation of next-generation components in smart devices and wearables like plastic-metal hybrid structures and antenna splits.
