Henkel is presenting its innovative solutions with clear benefits for composite customers at the JEC Composite Europe 2011 trade show in Paris. Along with demonstrating the advantages of the products, Henkel representatives will exchange their expertise and experiences with other professionals.
Development of new materials with their wide-ranging application potential poses major challenges for modern bonding technology. In production, adhesive technology enables optimum use of specific material properties and implementation of new construction methods such as lightweight construction. Use of structural adhesives has also become essential to the widely used mixed construction method as well as the application of all kinds of metal, synthetic and fiber composite materials. As the world’s leading manufacturer of adhesives and sealants, Henkel provides a general-purpose selection of structural adhesives for all kinds of industrial applications.
Structural bonding for demanding requirements
Structural bonding has become an integral part of today’s industrial production processes. Whether in engineering, white goods, the marine industry or renewable energies, adhesives are increasingly used to replace traditional fastening methods such as riveting or welding. This is because structural adhesives offer significant advantages compared to traditional fastening methods: They increase the durability and reliability and therefore also the sustainability of products. This creates previously unexpected possibilities. Henkel provides a wide range of structural adhesives in five core adhesive technologies: epoxies, acrylics, polyurethanes, silane modified polymers and silicones. With this portfolio, Henkel offers the best solution for almost every application and every combination of substrates.
