There is an increasing demand for medical protective wear in these times after the coronavirus outbreak. Henkel contributes with know-how and adhesive solutions.

Irvine, California – Henkel today announced the expansion of its award-winning thermal interface materials (TIMs) portfolio with the addition of a product developed to address the high-power density challenges associated with new 5G telecom infrastructure and consumer mobility designs.  BERGQUIST GAP PAD® TGP 10000ULM is a formulation that provides exceptionally high thermal conductivity of 10.0 W/m-K within an ultra-low modulus, low assembly stress formulation. The combination of these characteristics makes the material one of the highest performing TIMs available in the market today.  

“Because more functional, miniaturized telecom infrastructure components are required for 5G connectivity, higher power densities will be the norm,” explains Wayne Eng, Henkel Global Head of Market Strategy, Telecom and Datacom. “Highend routers, servers, switches and base band units continue...

Novel test vehicle addresses miniaturization realities.

Henkel’s LOCTITE® polyurethane technology is highly effective for the running repair of conveyors belts and rubber parts such as liners in mills, pumps, feeding bowls, hoppers and chutes. 

Henkel and Covestro combine their strengths to promote e-mobility 

We have introduced new packaging to thwart those who seek to imitate their products.

The latest introduction from Henkel is another milestone for its LOCTITE® brand.  The company has developed a new range of Universal Structural Bonders whose many attributes have been achieved through new, patented hybrid technology. This innovative approach substantially extends the application scope of these adhesives which also afford improved health and safety benefits.

The general-purpose Universal Structural Bonders combine the qualities of different adhesives to achieve bond strength, fast fixture speed and durability.  They provide improved performance on a variety of substrates and the versatility to solve many more maintenance and repair challenges.  Formulated specifically for application in harsh factory and plant environments, they are effective in a wide variety of operating conditions, from temperature extremes to high vibration. 

The new LOCTITE® HY 4070 provides a good example of what these qualities...

Higher temperature and oil tolerance as well as improved performance on passive materials are the benefits of the latest generation of LOCTITE® retaining compounds from Henkel. These anaerobic adhesives are formulated to secure bearings, bushes and cylindrical parts into housings and onto shafts.  They are high-strength products that form 100% contact between mating metal surfaces so they can carry high loads and are particularly effective in combination with shrink- or press fits.

Two of the most popular products in this range are typical examples of the improved formulation.  LOCTITE® 638 and 648 are single component acrylic adhesives that are now able to tolerate minor surface contamination from various oils such as those used for metal cutting, lubrication, corrosion resistance and protection. This, together with their ability to withstand higher operating temperatures, considerably extends the application scope of these retaining compounds.

Both products...

More than 50 years ago, LOCTITE® introduced the world’s first ever anaerobic threadlocking adhesive. Despite the maturity of the technology, it has been continually developed to provide new benefits and the company now asserts that its latest generation threadlockers are ‘the best ever’.

Henkel’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, LOCTITE® threadlockers permanently secure assemblies and eliminate fretting corrosion.

Two of the most popular products in this range – LOCTITE® 270 and 243 - exemplify the advances that have recently been made. LOCTITE® 270 is a high strength adhesive, ideal for permanent locking of assemblies that do not require regular disassembly for maintenance.  Its medium strength counterpart – LOCTITE®...
