Their attributes are achieved through Henkel’s patented hybrid technology to achieve bond strength, speedy cure and durability – performance qualities that have not always been available from a single product.

Structural bonding allows materials to be selected for their respective performance qualities rather than their compatibility with the joining method; plastics, metals and composites can be freely combined. The adhesive also creates uniform stress distribution across the entire bond face and as the join is relatively invisible, the aesthetics of the product are considerably enhanced. Henkel’s hybrid technology adds value by combining these benefits with high bond strength and super-fast fixturing and cure speed.  

Henkel comments that Loctite Universal Structural Bonders have proved their ability to improve assembly applications, streamline process steps and bond materials in applications with difficult requirements. Playing a considerable part in their success has been Henkel’s ability to provide the optimal dispensing equipment for the task.

Underpinning these latest developments is Henkel’s wider Loctite, Bonderite, Teroson and Technomelt product ranges that continue to benefit the entire value chain. Whether the task is in system building, assembly or repair, these engineering adhesives, sealants and functional coatings improve performance and cut costs.

Southern Manufacturing visitors will also be able to get expert advice on a variety of applications such as thread locking, sealing, gasketing, retaining, instant and structural bonding.   Regardless of which substrates are chosen and the conditions that prevail, if it’s technically possible, Henkel can provide the most appropriate solution. Stand H165
