Semblant CEO to Discuss Waterproof Nanocoatings That Enable Repair, Recycle and Reuse of Consumer Electronic Devices at the 5th International Congress on Green Process Engineering

SCOTTS VALLEY, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 14, 2016) -  Semblant, the market leader in protective nanocoatings and liquid damage protection for electronic devices, today announced that CEO Simon McElrea will present at the 5^th International Congress on Green Process Engineering on June 22, 2016 at the Fairmont Tremblant Hotel in Mt. Tremblant, Quebec. McElrea will discuss the complex topic of green process engineering in waterproof nanotechnology, and the enablement of green products that may be easily repaired, recycled and reused/resold, in the rapidly growing field of waterproof electronics, particularly smartphones and wearable devices.

"The waterproof electronics market requires a lot more than just a coat of hydrophobic paint," stated McElrea. "Customers need coating solutions that not only protect against any kind of liquid ingress -- caustic or acidic -- but that are also entirely nontoxic, due to the significant time that mobile and wearable devices are in direct contact with the skin. Most importantly, these material solutions must enable device repair, both in manufacturing and in the aftermarket, recycling of high-value components and materials, and reuse/resale of the product itself. This model of repair/recycle/reuse is a rapidly emerging trend in consumer electronics, driven by economics, legislation and consumer sentiment."

Semblant's proprietary nanocoatings were invented specifically for use in the electronics industry, enabling the creation of ultra-green, nontoxic products, and facilitating the essential model of repair/recycle/reuse.
