Adhesives & dispensers

In addition to its range of adhesives, which incorporates epoxies, acrylics, polyurethanes, silane modified polymers and silicones, Henkel provides dispensing equipment – from simple handheld devices to fully automated systems, specifically designed to make the application of products precise, economical and clean.

New additions include a highly flexible instant adhesive, Loctite 4902 that offers elongation of up to 155% and provides a high-strength bond in seconds. It can be reliably used on plastics, rubber, metals and other substrates and is ISO 10993 biocompatible making it suitable for bonding disposable medical devices.

Henkel’s Technomelt range of low pressure moulding, hotmelt adhesives has also been expanded. New advanced formulations are available that are UV-stabilised, ultra-clear and chemical resistant. They address the most demanding encapsulation requirements including all types of sensors, automotive products, new lighting designs and medical devices.  

Visitors to the show will also see the latest dispensing equipment development.  Henkel’s newly patented Jet Valve system enables bubble-free dispensing at up to 300 drops per second; droplets can be as small as 0.3mm depending on the adhesive used.  This new diaphragm technology is easy to integrate thanks to its compact design and requires little maintenance.
