Improving product performance and longevity
Published: 22 January, 2020
At the forthcoming Southern Manufacturing Exhibition (Stand H165), Henkel will be demonstrating how its latest generation Loctite, Bonderite Technomelt and Teroson products can benefit the entire value chain.
Core technologies including threadlocking, sealing, gasketing, retaining, instant and structural bonding, will be demonstrated using the latest product introductions.
Henkel’s range of adhesives incorporate five core technologies – epoxies, acrylics, polyurethanes, silane modified polymers and silicones. Continuous development across the range has now led to products that are more tolerant of contamination, able to support a wider range of operating temperatures and therefore be applied to a greater number of tasks.
As a result of these on-going developments, adhesive technology is being widely adopted across all engineering sectors to improve the performance and longevity of products, as well as allow dissimilar materials to be joined to reduce overall weight and energy consumption.
The company will also focus on the merits of its Universal Structural Bonders. Based on Henkel’s Hybrid Technology these products can significantly extend the scope of application for structural adhesives in both design and repair. They harness the strengths of different adhesive technologies to provide what the company says is a unique combination of characteristics. Currently four different adhesives complete this range, each with its own distinguishing features and benefits.

HENKEL says its latest introduction is another milestone for its LOCTITE brand. The company says it has developed a new range of Universal Structural Bonders whose many attributes have been achieved through new, patented hybrid technology and this innovative approach substantially extends the application scope of these adhesives which also afford improved health and safety benefits.
COBA EUROPE reports it has published a new catalogue to promote its latest range of floor safety products and it includes a wide choice of anti-fatigue and slip-resistant matting options, as well as GRP sheets, stair treads and nosing, and PVC strip curtains.
FLIR says its thermal imaging cameras are now tools of the trade, everyday instruments for fast and cost-effective fault finding and the company says it is this change of emphasis that has prompted it to broaden the scope of its product range.
MAKITA says its 10.8v CXT tool range is growing in popularity, driven by the very compact size and low weight advantages combined with outstanding performance and durability. For example, the company says the new Makita TD111D impact driver with brushless motor delivers an outstanding 135Nm of tightening torque yet weighs just 1.1kgs with an overall length of only 135mm from chuck to back of body and continues with performance like this the 10.8v CXT range is proving attractive to all property installation professionals.
