productLightweight construction methods are now a feature of automotive engineering, but the mass production of composite components can present challenges. Henkel believes tailored adhesives, together with fast-curing and reliable resins, are essential to the viability and cost efficiency of these highly automated, short production cycles.
productHenkel’s fast-curing Loctite Max 2 composite matrix resin has been developed for resin transfer moulding (RTM) processes.
productHenkel says that, by comparison with traditional tapes or hemp and paste combinations, its LOCTITE 55, takes half the time to create a secure seal on threaded pipes. With a new160mm dispenser, the method is even more cost effective. A single reel will seal up to 405 joints with a half-inch thread size.
productLOCTITE’s latest generation hand cleaners conform to European Cosmetics Regulations thanks to their risk-free, non-toxic formulation and are said to be among the safest hand cleaners on the market, both for the user and the environment.
productHenkel’s LOCTITE threadlocking adhesives prevent self-loosening and secure any threaded fastener against vibration and shock loads. Many are easy-flowing liquids which completely fill the gaps between mating threads. When used to assemble threaded fasteners, the threadlockers permanently secure assemblies and eliminate fretting corrosion.
productLOCTITE Universal Structural Bonders bring numerous benefits, many achieved through Henkel’s new, patented hybrid technology. This innovative approach substantially extends the application scope of these adhesives which also afford improved health and safety benefits.

productThe introduction of Henkel’s Hybrid Technology has massively extended the scope of application for structural adhesives in both design and repair.
productHenkel’s Hybrid Technology harnesses the strengths of different adhesive technologies to provide a special combination of characteristics. Currently the range comprises four different adhesives, each with its own distinguishing features. Henkel is staging a webinar to explain more.
productLoctite Universal Structural Bonders demonstrate how user and environmental safety can be achieved without compromising performance. These products owe many of their attributes to new hybrid technology that combines the qualities of many adhesive technologies to achieve bond strength, fast fixture speed and durability.
