BUILDING THE ELECTRONICS OF TOMORROW
Discover how we are making breakthrough materials today—polyimide films, adhesives, coatings, and more—to build the electronics of tomorrow.
Why
Electronics?
As electronics become increasingly similar, users are looking for true differentiation; a foldable screen, longer battery life, or more sustainable material can shift buying decisions. In this highly competitive environment, new films that deliver superior performance can make the difference between winning and losing market share.
Unlocking design freedom
Electronic device developers have been limited to the same raw materials for decades, constraining what they could build. With nature’s help, we are expanding their chemical catalog to enable greater creativity and innovation in their designs. The results are electronic films, adhesives, and coatings with unique combinations of properties, to be made renewably and ready to delight consumers.
Better materials mean bigger markets
At Zymergen, we partner with nature to access a wider and more complex set of building blocks that give us the ability to unlock new polymer innovation. One such discovery is Hyaline.
Hyaline is a family of breakthrough polyimide films that deliver a premier balance of properties. Each Hyaline film can be tuned to a unique combination of high transparency, high temperature resistance, and robust mechanical properties that give electronics manufacturers unprecedented design freedom.
HIGH TRANSPARENCY + HIGH TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE + ROBUST MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
= MAXIMUM DESIGN FREEDOM
Imagine the new form factors you can create and new applications you can enable with thinner screens and faster manufacturing times for touch screens, optical filters for camera lenses, wearable sensors, and more.

Hyaline: the future of films
Meet HYALINE Z2, first in our Hyaline family of revolutionary polyimide films that combines exceptional optical transparency with mechanical strength. Learn how Hyaline Z2 offers better performance than existing products.
ZYM0107
The newest breakthrough film in the Hyaline family, combines process temperatures of up to 300°C and high transmittance with good mechanical performance.
FOCUS
AREAS
Films
We are creating innovative electronic films using the power of biology, resulting in materials that offer unique combinations of properties. With these advances, we enable novel applications such as foldable cover windows, filters and touch-sensor panels, as well as transparent printed electronics and high-frequency substrates. Our films deliver superior transparency, thermal budget, and mechanical and electrical properties.
Adhesives and Composites
Inspired by the staying power of mussels through extreme conditions, we are developing bio-based electronic adhesives and composites that will possess superior flexibility, fast cure, high-impact strength and improved adhesion to metals.
Potential applications include accelerating and curing epoxy adhesives and composites, de-bondable adhesives that can be easily reworked and recycled, and pressure sensitive adhesives.
Coatings
We’re developing solutions inspired by nature to create transparent hard coatings with unique property sets.
These will offer enhanced transparency, flexibility and hardness as well as water-based, and ultra-hydrophilic properties.
