Good Packaging Design Starts With the Right Components

The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team races in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, the most innovative motorsport series.

The newly re-designed LOCTITE^® Product Catalogue consolidates in a single publication, the most popular products across the LOCTITE^® core technologies’ range. It also includes selected TEROSON^® products whose distinctive characteristics have proven benefits for industrial engineering applications. The publication addresses the lion’s share of typical issues that engineers will face in product design, assembly, maintenance and repair.  

This easy-to-use guide offers quick reference via the product category. The early sections include thread locking and sealing, gasketing, retaining, structural and instant bonding, light cure and flexible adhesives. It then continues to provide a comprehensive overview of the key products used for wear protection, rebuilding, lubrication and specialist maintenance.

Every category leads with the identification of common application problems and how LOCTITE^® and TEROSON^®

At Hillhead 2022, Henkel will appear under the name of its leading brand - LOCTITE^® - to emphasise its expertise in engineering adhesives and functional coatings that prevent or rectify problems associated with wear, abrasion, erosion, corrosion and mechanical damage. The company will also be introducing latest generation developments across its LOCTITE^® product programme with notable new additions to its conveyor belt repair, anti-slip coating and wear-resistant material ranges. 

Vibrational loosening, leakage and corrosion between threaded parts compromises machine efficiency and can lead to early failure and expensive downtime. Prevention is easy with LOCTITE^® thread lockers that are available in a range of viscosities and strengths, from semi-permanent wicking products to low strength formulations that are removable with standard hand tools.

Under its flagship brand LOCTITE^®, Henkel is introducing a new adhesive for the assembly of small components and quick maintenance repairs as well as highlighting several products with new capabilities. These developments span different technologies but a key focus will be on instant component bonding and the launch of a new ultra-performance cyanoacrylate adhesive, LOCTITE 402. This new addition and a series of upgrades in this range allow industry to take full advantage of the technology’s potential to simplify design, improve reliability and increase productivity while also enhancing occupational safety.

LOCTITE 402 is Henkel’s new best-in-class instant adhesive which develops handling strength twice as fast on most substrates by comparison with other assembly solutions (3 – 10 seconds). This single component product also remains three times stronger on most metals at temperatures up to 150°C and offers sustained hot strength performance on selected metals at...

10.0 W/m-K BERGQUIST^® LIQUI FORM Gel Tackles Heat Management Challenges in High Bandwidth Systems

Irvine, CA – Staying ahead of thermal management requirements for increasingly challenging datacom, telecom and industrial automation applications, Henkel today announced the commercialization of its latest gel thermal interface material (TIM), BERGQUIST^® LIQUI FORM TLF 10000.  The one-part, high thermal conductivity dispensable gel is designed to provide robust heat transfer for high-power electronic components, improving operational efficiency and extending lifetime system reliability.  

Larger, higher-power devices such as ASICs and FPGAs are the norm in 5G telecom infrastructure gear, data center switches, routers and servers, as well as electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure and industrial automation electronics. As component density and complexity increase in response to faster data processing and ...
