Glossary term
Conductive adhesive
An adhesive loaded with conductive particles that bonds components while carrying electrical signal or power between them.
Definition
Conductive adhesives are a proven technology in electronics manufacture — widely used in printed circuit assembly.
Applied at the textile scale, they open the door to wiring-free smart garments.
Why it matters to DSEAMS
Penanos applies conductive adhesive technology directly to the internal barrier membrane film of textile laminates — the key to eliminating wiring from connected garments.
